From shelf to price comparison
Three steps to check a book
Scan the exact edition, compare the available choices, and continue with the vendor that fits your needs.
Scan the barcode
Point your camera at the ISBN barcode. You can also enter the ISBN manually when scanning is not convenient.
Compare available prices
Switch between sell, buy, and rental results without searching separate websites one at a time.
Choose where to go next
Open the vendor's site to confirm the quote, condition rules, shipping details, and payment terms.

Built for real-world book searching
Check the exact book while it is in your hand
Book titles can have several editions and formats. Scanning the ISBN helps match the copy in front of you instead of relying on a title alone.
Keep useful books close
Save books to favorites so you can return to them without scanning again.
Compare more than buyback
Look at selling, purchasing, and rental options from the same app when those prices are available.
Make the final decision with context
Price is only the starting point. Condition requirements, quote expiration, shipping, and vendor minimums can affect the final value.
