## What is Buono?

Stop paying full price for books.
BUONO! turns your camera into a price radar. Scan any book's barcode and instantly see every price — new and second-hand — ranked cheapest first across Europe's bookshops and resale platforms. One list. No tabs. No guesswork.
HOW IT WORKS

Scan the barcode — or search by title if you're browsing from the sofa.
Compare — new and used prices sit in the same ranked list, cheapest at the top. Used copies are flagged and show exactly how much you save.
Tap and buy — the best deal opens straight in your browser, at the retailer's own checkout. Done.

WHY BUONO!
— New and used, side by side. Most apps bury second-hand copies behind a separate tab. We rank them together, so the genuinely cheapest option always wins — brand new or gently read.
— Built for Europe. Real prices from European bookshops and resale platforms, in your own currency and local format — not a US tool with no coverage where you live.
— Vinted, pinned. Peer-to-peer listings get their own card, so you can check community prices in one tap.
— Independent by design. We deliberately skip the mega-marketplaces and point you to independent and specialist retailers instead — better for you, better for bookshops.
PRICE-DROP ALERTS — FREE
Found the book but not ready to buy? Tap notify me and we'll tell you the moment the price falls. No subscription.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. No profile to build. Open the app, scan, save. That's it.
Scan smarter. Read for less.

Scan smarter, save more.

New scan experience — scanning a book now shows an instant summary card with its best new and used prices, plus every other edition of the same book. The cheapest copy might be a different cover!
Used prices at a glance — the scan card now includes peer-to-peer listings, so you see the lowest second-hand price without digging.
Price-drop alerts, fixed and faster — we now check your saved books every day (not monthly) and notifications reliably reach your phone.
Faster, cleaner search — searching a title you love is quicker and no longer surfaces non-book items.
Smarter second-hand matches — used listings are searched in the book's own language market, so a French book finds French sellers.
Bug fixes, including a camera issue when reopening the scanner.
