The trust layer for online shopping

Most shopping tools chase coupons. Dupely tackles trust. Online shopping is full of manipulation: artificial price drops, fake reviews, paid influencers, and sketchy white label sellers reselling the same product at a markup. DupeScore finds identical products for less. Trust This Price flags fake savings using 90 days of price history. Seller badges show you who's actually credible. Now on iOS, Android, and Chrome. Dupely is the trust layer online shopping has been missing.
How does Dupely figure out which white label sellers are actually the same product under different brand names, and does it work for marketplaces like AliExpress or mostly just Amazon and the usual big stores?
@onurwhww Great q Onur, we use multiple signals from the product listing pages to derive a similarity score. Little changes will result in higher DupeScore but completely different products will not score very highly. Thanks for using Dupely! :D
How does DupeScore actually decide when two products are "identical" enough to recommend, especially for things where listings vary a lot in bundle size or packaging?
@saniyelaloypur Great q Saniye! There are a ton of Amazon listings that vary a lot in bundle size/packaging. We use multiple signals to derive a weighted score. The trust signals for products also help maintain the level of credibility whenever we recommend alternatives. Thanks for using Dupely! :D
How does DupeScore actually decide two products are real duplicates versus just similar items, especially when brands deliberately rename or repackage the same thing?
@ezelrikliahcg Great q Ezel! We use multiple signals from the product listing pages for relative similarity. We'll also bake in seller reputability too so even if it's a cheaper deal, you'll know you're still getting a good product too. Thanks for using Dupely! :D

Nice idea. How do you handle cases where 2 listings look identical, but the product quality turns out to be different? Congrats on the launch!
@henry_habib Great q Henry! We factor in return volume and the reviews on both the seller and the product. If there is a history of bad product quality, then it'll impact how we recommend that item even if it's a duplicate. Let us know how we can make Dupely even better!! :D
How does the DupeScore actually identify identical products across different sellers, especially when listings vary in size or bundle contents?
@erafettinscmjl Great Q Serafettin! We use a variety of signals from the product listing page to see how similar two listings are. We have a weighted formula that factors in things like the product listing image and description to create the blended score. The trust signals like Top Seller are surfaced too, so you'll get a deal if it's a good price from a reputable vendor. Thanks for using Dupely! :D
How does DupeScore actually identify identical products versus just similar ones, and does it factor in shipping costs when showing cheaper alternatives?
@smeyye7eqe Great Q Sumeyye! We use multiple signals from the product listings and determine how similar they are. We'll be able to detect minor variations as well as major differences. The "trust this dupe" section pulls historical track record from the seller and product itself so even if it's a cheaper alternative, you know you're getting a good deal. Thanks for using Dupley! :D
Congrats on the launch! 👏🏻 @jacob_galajda Tackling the white-label markup problem is a massive pain point. Curious about the DupeScore—how does it actually differentiate between an algorithmic price drop and a fake discount, especially during major sales events?
@nischal_kharel Thank you Nischal! Great q, we use historical data to determine what the overall price should be. The "price drops" we've observed on the data side typically do not go past this value, but they trigger Amazon to award badges and promote the product. Even during prime day, we observed a bunch of products that did this and were still able to surface dupes that had a better price. Thanks for using Dupely! :D
