Findthevalueof tells you what your things are actually worth — and shows you the sales that prove it. Photograph an item. You get back a researched valuation with a clear estimate range, the comparable sales behind it, and links so you can check every figure yourself. WHAT YOU GET An estimate range, not a single made-up number The actual sold prices behind it — dates, venues, and links you can open What's driving the value — condition, authenticity, rarity, provenance — in plain words What you'd take home by route: specialist auction, private dealer, or online marketplace, after fees A full report you can save and share FOR A WHOLE COLLECTION Photograph everything at once. Items are sorted for you, valued individually, and totaled. Then get a selling plan: which item goes where, in what order, by when, and what you'd net at each stop. Share the collection as a link, or export every item to a spreadsheet with its photos. WHEN YOU'RE READY TO SELL The app drafts the consignment email and a copy-ready listing, so you're not starting from a blank page. WHAT IT COSTS Your first valuation is free. After that, from $5. If a valuation falls short, you get your credit back. WHO IT'S FOR People clearing a family home. Collectors who want a second opinion. Anyone about to sell something who'd rather not find out afterwards what it was worth. Findthevalueof is independent. We don't buy your items, and we don't take a cut of what you sell them for.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FindTheValueOf at none against MatesPlace's shown. FindTheValueOf also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
