**3 free appraisals. No card required.** 3scouts is your personal antiques and collectibles appraisal desk. Photograph any item — a painting, a piece of silver, a coin, a rug, a watch, a piece of furniture — and receive a full professional appraisal by email in minutes: what it is, its likely age and origin, condition, and an estimated value. Your first three appraisals are completely free. No subscription, no card, no commitment. **WHY 3SCOUTS** Not sure what that auction lot is really worth? Inherited something and no idea of its value? Spotted a bargain in a charity shop? 3scouts gives you an expert assessment before you buy, sell, or insure — so you can act with confidence instead of guesswork. Every appraisal draws on AI vision analysis and real market data to give you: • Identification — what the item is, its maker or origin where possible • Age and provenance indicators • Condition assessment from your photographs • An estimated value based on comparable sales • A clear, honest read on what you're looking at **SCOUT ONE — YOUR EBAY WATCHER** Subscribe, and Scout One goes to work: it monitors eBay around the clock for exactly what you collect. The moment a genuine match appears, you get an alert with the listing, the price, and a BUY, WATCH or PASS recommendation — often before the rest of the market notices. Tell Scout One what you're after — "antique Persian rugs, pre-1940" or "early sports programmes" — and it watches the markets you choose, day and night, so you never miss a find. **HOW IT WORKS** 1. Photograph your item — natural light, a few angles, any maker's marks 2. Add a short description 3. Receive your full appraisal by email, usually within minutes **SUBSCRIPTIONS** After your 3 free appraisals, subscribe to keep going and put Scout One to work: • Starter — $9.99/month: any 3 eBay markets, daily digest, 20 Deep Analyses • Collector — $19.99/month: any 6 markets, twice-daily alerts, 60 Deep Analyses • Dealer — $49.99/month: all 9 markets, immediate alerts, 150 Deep Analyses Cancel anytime. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple account. **IMPORTANT** 3scouts appraisals are AI-assisted expert guidance based on your photographs and market data — not a substitute for physical examination by a specialist before a significant purchase. We're honest about what we are and what we aren't. Questions? Every email comes from a real person. Just reply. Terms of Use: https://www.3scouts.com/terms.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Joos at none against 3scouts's 4. 3scouts's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
