FAQ
What is Backmark?
Backmark is an application that helps you identify antique objects and estimate their potential value by analyzing photos you take. It uses AI to assess the item's features, material, and any visible maker's marks.
How accurate are Backmark's value estimates?
Backmark provides value ranges based on AI estimates, not professional appraisals. When an item's identification is uncertain, the app recommends seeking a professional appraisal instead of relying on its estimated price.
Can I use Backmark offline?
Yes, your saved collection of identified items stays on your iPhone and can be accessed without an internet connection. No account or sign-up is required to use this feature.
What are the pricing options for Backmark?
Backmark offers three free scans initially. After that, you can choose from weekly ($5.99/P7D with a 3-day free trial), yearly ($19.99/P1Y or $39.99/P1Y), or a one-time lifetime purchase. All prices are clearly displayed before purchase.
Does Backmark have ads?
No, Backmark does not contain advertisements. The app's monetization comes from its in-app purchase options for extended scanning capabilities.
What devices does Backmark support?
Backmark is currently supported on iPhones. It was released on September 22, 2026, and its latest version is 1.0.6, last updated on October 31, 2026.
How does Backmark determine a match?
Backmark analyzes the object's shape, material, decoration, and any maker's marks visible in the photo. It then provides a confidence level such as 'Strong match,' 'Possible match,' or 'Not sure yet,' along with the reasoning.
Can I correct or add information to Backmark's findings?
Yes, you can correct information, try identifying an item again, or select a different possibility if the app presents multiple options. You can also save items into custom folders within your collection.
