“−30% then −20%” does not make −50%. Aubaine works out the price you will actually pay at the register. One second, standing in the aisle, with a single thumb free. THE MATH, FINALLY RIGHT One or two markdowns. And above all, the two ways of applying them: on the already reduced price, or on the original one. Both practices exist in stores — you choose, and the calculation follows. SCAN THE TAG Point the camera at the price and tap it. The reading happens on your iPhone, with no network. You can type the price instead, of course. YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE CHECKOUT Add every find: name, quantity, store. The total is there before you even reach the register — no more nasty surprises. YOUR BUDGET, IN SIGHT Set an envelope for the trip. Aubaine shows what you have left, and turns red if you go over. WHAT YOU REALLY SAVED The history keeps everything: your total savings, the breakdown by store, and the grouping by sale season. ON YOUR WRIST A standalone Apple Watch app: the price, the crown for the discount, the result. Nothing else. Plus a complication to launch it from your watch face. ON IPAD The calculator and the receipt side by side, all the time. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No server. No ads. No trackers. None of your data leaves your device: your purchases, your prices and your history stay there, and nowhere else. ALSO • 159 currencies — each item keeps the one you paid in • Share your receipt as an image, like a real store receipt • Large-button keypad, so you can aim without looking • Available in 13 languages • No ads, no subscription — just an optional tip that unlocks nothing Prices shown are indicative: rounding may vary slightly from register to register.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Aubaine at none against Second Armor's shown. Aubaine also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Second Armor's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
