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.
Hey Product Hunt. Ryan here, co-founder of Dupely.
The idea for Dupely came about because I've seen from the other side what it's like selling on these major marketplaces we're trying to fix. I've been selling on these marketplaces for over fifteen years. Over the years I've noticed how much more difficult it is becoming as an average consumer. Important information buried in the metadata of the listings. If an item is returned often, if the seller is recently launched, seller reviews buried through clicks, true price tracking.. the list goes on and on. The advancement of AI meaningfully made that trust erosion move faster.
I saw white-label sellers list the exact same factory product at a 40% markup. I've been targeted by ads telling me I can get rich quick making passive income buying from Alibaba. I was invited to groups that gave artificial discounts to move your listing up in the rankings by gaming sales velocity. I saw reviews bought, traded, and seeded. All of this from the lens of the seller, not the buyer.
Then I spent a decade in edtech, and I watched the same rot show up somewhere you would never expect it. Candidates auto-rejected by AI hiring managers before a human ever saw them. People reverse-engineering ATS keywords just to survive the first filter. Good people gamed out by a system that was supposed to be neutral.
We are in a trust recession. The tools built to help us, search, reviews, rankings, hiring filters, have quietly been turned against us. And most of us just accepted it as the cost of doing anything online.
Dupely is my answer on the shopping side.
It finds the identical and near-identical products for less, verifies the seller, scores the match from 0 to 100, and flags fake sales using 90 days of real price history. It fires the second you land on a product page. No hunting, no extra tabs, no wondering if the deal is real. If you've ever found the product you were looking for then ended up not buying because you were overwhelmed with an abundance of choice and analysis paralysis.. Dupely should solve that for you.
What's next is where I'd love your brain. We're working on review authenticity scoring so you can see which reviews are actually real. Wider coverage across the marketplaces where this is the biggest issue: TikTok Shop, Walmart, Wayfair, Home Depot, and more. And a clearer picture of who the real seller behind a listing actually is.
And if you're a seller, we want to hear from you too. You're sick of your products getting knocked off.. we want to help verify you. Let's talk.
What other features could we solve for to make your shopping experience better? If we happen to save you money in the meantime, that is a huge win.
If you've ever felt that you don't know whether you just bought the right product for a fair price, that's the feeling we're building against.
I'll be here all day. Tell me where we're right, where we're wrong, and what you'd want us to catch next.
Would love a weekly digest of flagged fake discounts I almost fell for, turns the trust score into a habit not just a lookup.
@oliver_hayes1 I love that Oliver! @ryanbutz this should be a segment we include on our newsletter and announcements
@oliver_hayes1 @jacob_galajda Love this!
One of the features that are coming down the pipeline is sharing with the community. We want users to be able to share great deals and dupes and get visibility/rewarded for that. Adding to the list for users to self report fake discounts leveraging our price tracking! At the end of the day Dupely gets stronger with more users using our tool and help other users not get duped.
@julienne_pagulayan great content concept as well
finally tried dupely on the chrome extension and the trust this price feature caught a “sale” that was actually the same price it's been for three months, exactly the kind of thing i've been burned on before. nice to see someone focus on this.
@ayfer794543 Thanks Ayfer! I know right, it's so crazy that the "sale" prices can be kept for over 3 months. Thanks for using Dupely! :D
@ayfer794543 Watch out for the "limited time deals" and other "social proof" that is just gamified as well
Tried it on a few products I was already eyeing and the 90-day price history genuinely changed my mind on one "sale" that was actually the normal price. Nice to finally see a tool that doesn't just hand me a coupon code.
@aslhangger3pdy Thank you Aslihan! Glad you can sift through the "sales" now, thanks for using Dupely! :D
The price history view is surprisingly addictive, it makes you realize how often "sale" tags are basically decoration. Seller badges feel like a step in the right direction too, though I'd want to see how strict they are on the sketchy resellers.
@slakln0vxp Thanks Sila! I'm shocked at how long sale items can be kept "on sale". Thanks for using Dupely! :D
Love how the price history behind Trust This Price actually feels grounded in real data instead of vague “was $X” claims, and tying it to seller credibility badges in one flow is a really smart move.
@srabdy7 Thank you Sirac, it's going to be a lot harder to gamify prices now! Thanks for using Dupely! :D
The 90-day price history behind Trust This Price is such a smart call—anyone tired of "original price" strikethroughs that lie will appreciate the receipts. Really thoughtful execution.
@samiuluyoluzmy Thanks Sami! We wanted to ship a combo of trust signals so you can get the best deal possible. Thanks for using Dupely! :D
