Read full descriptionHide full description
Almost Bought helps you beat impulse spending β 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 β once the urge has faded β to decide with a clear head. HOW IT WORKS β’ See something you want? Tap Share and pick Almost Bought. β’ The item is held in a cooling-off period instead of your cart. β’ We send you a gentle reminder when the cooldown ends. β’ Still want it? Go buy it. Changed your mind? Pass β 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 β the moment where most regret purchases quietly disappear. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β’ No account, no sign-up, no email. β’ Everything stays on your device. β’ No payments, no cart, no tracking your shopping. Almost Bought isn't anti-shopping. It's pro-choosing. Buy the things you actually want β 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.
