Almost Bought helps you beat impulse spending — without deleting your shopping apps. Next time something tempts you on Amazon, SHEIN, or AliExpress, don't hit "Buy." Share it into Almost Bought instead. The item goes into a cooling-off hold, and we remind you a little later — once the urge has faded — to decide with a clear head. HOW IT WORKS • See something you want? Tap Share and pick Almost Bought. • The item is held in a cooling-off period instead of your cart. • We send you a gentle reminder when the cooldown ends. • Still want it? Go buy it. Changed your mind? Pass — and watch your "money protected" grow. WHY IT WORKS Impulse buys thrive on urgency. Almost Bought adds a small, deliberate pause between wanting and buying — the moment where most regret purchases quietly disappear. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no email. • Everything stays on your device. • No payments, no cart, no tracking your shopping. Almost Bought isn't anti-shopping. It's pro-choosing. Buy the things you actually want — and keep the money you would have spent on the things you didn't.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Almost Bought at none against b's shown. Almost Bought also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 weeks). b's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
