Show HN: Score App – Visual Search Tool for Finding Cheaper Alternatives Online

Hello HN,

I’m Sidwyn and I built a Chrome extension called Score. Score searches the web to find you similar, better options for cheaper. It analyzes product images as you browse, finds visually similar items, and sorts them by price or similarity. This lets you discover affordable options.

I started Score when I discovered my friend’s identical TV stand had cost >50% less – and so the idea popped into my head. If I could auto-image search as I browsed the web, I could probably save a ton of money. So I created Score. And I’ve saved a few hundred dollars since.

Score works really well for fashion and furniture. I’d love for you to give it a try and share feedback!

    That’s pretty cool! One thing to consider is implementing more filters—for instance two visually similar dresses could be made of different materials.

    Is this different from existing tools like the Capital One Shopping extension?
