Snap a photo and find out instantly — free AI price estimates
Take a photo of any item with your phone or upload one. CostCam's AI identifies what it is and estimates a price range from what similar items typically sell for, in your local currency. It does not look up live listings.
Yes. CostCam is free to use — no signup required.
Nothing. There is no fee, no subscription and no account. You can use it as often as you like.
Almost anything: antiques, collectibles, electronics, furniture, clothing, jewelry, vintage items, garage-sale finds and more. Confidence is highest for items with a clear brand or model.
CostCam returns a range (low / typical / high) and a confidence level. It is an AI estimate from one photo: a fast starting point for selling, shopping and decluttering, not a formal appraisal. Check sold listings before you sell anything valuable.
Your photo goes to OpenAI to be identified and priced, and we keep a copy for 90 days so we can check how accurate our estimates are. After that it is deleted automatically. If you rate an estimate we keep that photo for longer as a test case. We never sell your photos and never publish one without your consent. Full detail on the privacy page.
No. CostCam runs in your phone's browser — there is nothing to download from an app store.
You can still keep the icon on your home screen. On Android, tap Add to Home Screen under the Take Picture button. On iPhone, tap the Share button in Safari and choose Add to Home Screen. It then opens full screen, like an app.
Guides for pricing, selling and sorting your things
Snap a photo to value finds before you buy or sell
→Document belongings and estimated values for claims
→Value items before you move, sell, or donate
→Stay on budget and spot deals before you buy
→Identify and value antiques and collectibles from a photo
→Set fair list prices and spot under-priced finds
→Identify the mark on the base and find the value
→Two different questions come up when you point a camera at something. How much is this worth asks what you could sell it for today. How much does it cost asks what you'd pay to buy one. CostCam estimates what the item sells for in the condition shown in the photo. The Amazon link on the result lets you check what a new one costs today.
You get three numbers rather than one, because nobody can price an item exactly from a photo. The typical figure is the most likely sale price for the condition the photo shows. The low and high figures show how sure the estimate is: a narrow range means a confident identification, a wide one means the photo left a lot open.
