Dupely
Snap a product, get affordable dupes
Photograph a fragrance, a lipstick, a bag, a pair of shoes or a watch. In a few seconds Dupely names the product, tells you what defines it, and finds up to three cheaper alternatives — each with a similarity score, what you keep, what you give up, and roughly what you save.

It names the product before it recommends anything
The brand and the product name come first, over your own photograph, with a confidence badge and one line explaining why — the squared flacon, the weighted stopper, the typeset label. Then up to six attributes that actually define the thing: notes and concentration for a fragrance, materials and hardware for a bag.
A guess is never dressed up as an answer. If the photo shows something that is not a product, or the model cannot name a brand it can see, Dupely says that instead of confabulating a plausible label.
Compare
Up to three dupes, with the trade-off spelled out
Each alternative is a comparison card — original against dupe, a similarity percentage, the price difference, and two short lists: what you keep and what you give up. A cheaper perfume that loses the drydown is a different proposition from one that loses the bottle, and the card says which.
Not everything is in front of you. Typing a product name runs the same analysis and returns the same card — a scan is a scan whichever way it started.
Prices
Approximate, in your currency, and honest about it
Every figure is an approximate US retail price, and it is labelled as one everywhere it appears. Reading in a language whose readers do not think in dollars adds a second line — “approximately ₺5,789 today” — converted with the European Central Bank’s published daily reference rate. The dollar figure always stays, because converting an estimate stacks a day-old rate on top of a guess.
When there is no honest dupe, the answer is none. An empty list is a real result: some things really are one of a kind, and showing you nothing beats showing you a product that does not exist.
Keep
Your scans, on your phone, deletable in one tap
Every scan for your device is in History, searchable by brand, product or the words you typed, and narrowable by category. A heart on any dupe card keeps it, and the Kept tab is the shortlist you built on purpose.
There is no account and no sign-up. A random identifier generated on first launch is what makes your history yours, and Settings → Delete my data removes every scan and every stored photo for it, at once and for good.
Before you spend money on it
The answers are estimates. The identification, the attributes, the prices and the suggested alternatives are all generated by a language model. They can be wrong, out of date, or confidently mistaken. Prices in particular are approximations, not quotes from any seller — check anything that matters before you buy it.

Questions people ask about Dupely
Short answers here; the long versions are in theprivacy policyand theterms.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, login or password, and the app never asks for a name, email address or phone number. On first launch the phone generates a random identifier, and that is what keeps your history yours and counts your free scans. Deleting the app discards it.
What happens to the photo I take?
Before anything is uploaded, the phone downsizes it to at most 1024 pixels and re-encodes it as a JPEG, which drops the EXIF block and any GPS coordinates. The reduced image is sent to the analysis provider and held for at most seven days, then deleted. Settings → Delete my data removes it straight away. Photos are not used to train models and are never shown to anyone else.
How accurate is the identification?
It is generated by a vision model, so it can be wrong, out of date or confidently mistaken. Every result carries a confidence badge and one line explaining what the model recognised. When it cannot name a brand it can actually see, or the photo is not a product at all, it says so rather than inventing a plausible label. Low confidence comes paired with a photo tip.
Are the prices real?
They are approximate. Each figure is the model’s estimate of a US retail price, not a quote from any seller or price feed, and it is labelled approximate everywhere it appears. If you read in a language whose readers do not think in dollars, a second line converts it with the European Central Bank’s daily reference rate and says “today”, because an estimate converted at a day-old rate is two approximations stacked. Check the retailer before you buy.
What if there is no dupe?
Then the answer is none, and it gets its own screen with the model’s reason. An empty list is a real result. Some things are one of a kind, and showing you nothing is better than showing you a product that does not exist.
Is Dupely free?
Free to install, with three scans to try it on. A free scan shows the closest dupe; Dupely Pro shows all of them, adds follow-up questions about a scan, and keeps a longer history. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription sold through the App Store, where the current prices and any trial are shown, and it can be cancelled in your device’s subscription settings.
Which languages does it speak?
Ten: English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. The reasoning, attributes and notes are written in your language; brand and product names stay exactly as printed.
Is Dupely connected to the brands it names?
No. Dupely is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any brand it identifies or suggests. Names appear only to describe the items being discussed, and all trademarks belong to their owners.
