Threquity turns your camera into a resale pricing tool. Photograph a garment and get the numbers resellers actually need — real sold prices, demand, and sell-through — in seconds. No typing, no manual lookups, no guesswork. HOW IT WORKS Point your camera at any garment — at the thrift store, a yard sale, or your own closet. Recognition happens right on your phone. Your photos never leave your device. Threquity matches the item against recent sold listings on the resale market and returns the signals that matter. THREE SIGNALS. ONE CALL. • MEDIAN SOLD PRICE — anchored to what items actually sold for, not asking prices. • SELL-THROUGH RATE — how fast similar items are moving right now. • HEAT CHECK — a quick demand read so you can gauge interest at a glance. You see the evidence. You make the call. BUILT FOR SOURCING • HAUL — price a stack of items in one session and see total estimated resale value. • CLOSET — keep every find organized with its numbers. • HEAT CHECK — see what's moving on the resale market, updated regularly. PRIVACY FIRST Your photographs are processed on-device and are never uploaded. Only derived, non-identifying match data is used to look up market results. Delete your account and data anytime from inside the app. THREQUITY PRO Threquity Pro is an auto-renewing subscription ($9.99/month or $59.99/year). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
