Upload a screenshot of any online sale, coupon, or deal. Or type a deal description like "MacBook Air M3 $799 at Best Buy, was $1099". AI reads the prices, store, and product automatically.
AI searches the web to verify prices across retailers, checks price history, spots inflated "original prices", and tells you if it's a great deal, fake sale, or outright scam.
Studies show that 60%+ of "original prices" on sale items are artificially inflated to make discounts look bigger. That "was $199, now $99!" might have always been $99.
Americans lost $5.8 billion to online shopping scams in 2023. Fake sales are the #1 tactic — creating urgency around deals that aren't actually deals.
Many retailers change prices based on your location, device, and browsing history. The same product can be different prices for different people at the same time.
The psychological trick behind fake sales: showing a high "was" price makes the "now" price feel like a steal, even if it's the normal price. It's called anchoring, and retailers use it constantly.
