How it works
From photo to checklist, usually in well under half a minute.
Snap it
Take a photo of the product — the badge, model name or front label helps most. You can also pick one from your gallery.
We identify it
beforeUBuy works out the make and model. If it can't tell, you can retake the photo or simply type what it is.
Check it
Get a checklist to take with you — from test-drive checks on a car to packaging, expiry and ingredient checks on a medicine. Share it or save it for later.
Made for the things people actually buy
Used cars, phones and laptops, appliances, cameras, and everyday products.
Honest by design
Some of what you'll see is written by AI from general knowledge, not checked against official sources. We mark it clearly as AI-generated · unverified, so treat it as questions to ask the seller — not facts — and confirm anything important yourself. For a big purchase like a car, still get an independent inspection. Where we don't have reliable information, we show standard checks for that type of product instead of guessing.
