How much is your sneaker closet actually worth? Most people have no idea - until now. Snap any pair - Jordans, Yeezys, Dunks, New Balance - and Soledex identifies it and values it with real eBay listings (not an invented AI number), priced by your exact size. Then it turns your whole collection into a portfolio: total value, what you paid, and your profit. WHAT SOLEDEX DOES - Real, size-aware prices - sneaker value swings hard by size. Soledex prices your size from live eBay listings, with a range and a confidence level. - Your closet as a portfolio - see total value, cost and profit at a glance, plus how your closet's value is trending over time. - Deal check - thinking of buying? Enter the asking price and see instantly if it's a good deal, fair, or overpriced vs the market. - Grail alerts - add the pairs you're hunting with a target price; Soledex watches the market and alerts you when one drops to your number. - Legit checklist - model-specific things to verify yourself before you buy (style code, stitching, box label). Tips, not a guarantee. - Spot your heat - rare colorways, collabs and grails are flagged automatically. - Share the flex - turn any pair, or your whole closet's value, into a clean card to post. HONEST, FROM THE START Other sneaker apps charge every month, or take a cut when you sell. Soledex is a one-time purchase - pay once, own it forever. No subscription, no commission, no bait-and-switch. Values are estimates based on current market listings, not a formal appraisal. Your closet and photos stay private on your device. "Sell on eBay" opens eBay in your browser; Soledex never handles payments.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Viper SmartStart at none against Sneaker Value's 1. Viper SmartStart also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
