Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Gazi, and compare⁄io exists because of a bad laptop purchase.
When I was shopping for a laptop, I did what most people do. I read the spec sheets, went through a bunch of product pages, and picked the one that looked best. Soon after I bought it, it started having network issues. When I looked into it, I found other owners posting about the same problem in online communities. None of that was on the product page.
That's when it clicked: researching the product isn't enough. You also have to research what goes wrong with it, and that information is scattered across threads you'd never think to check.
So I built compare⁄io. Here's how it works:
→ Add up to 6 items by typing a name, searching, or uploading a photo
→ Or use the browser extension: while you shop, right-click a page or highlight a product name to add it to your list
→ Tell it what you need and why you're comparing
→ It searches product pages, reviews, and communities, including known issues
→ You get a plain-language verdict, a side-by-side table, and every source it used
Then keep going. Ask follow-up questions and remove items as you rule them out. The answers update based on what's left, until you land on your pick.
I'd love your feedback. What's the last thing you bought that you wish you'd researched better?
