Buono: Book Price Compare

TheBadLemon

About this app

Stop paying full price for books.
BUONO! turns your camera into a price radar. Scan any book's barcode and instantly see every price — new and second-hand — ranked cheapest first across Europe's bookshops and resale platforms. One list. No tabs. No guesswork.

HOW IT WORKS

Scan the barcode — or search by title if you're browsing from the sofa.
Compare — new and used prices sit in the same ranked list, cheapest at the top. Used copies are flagged and show exactly how much you save.
Tap and buy — the best deal opens straight in your browser, at the retailer's own checkout. Done.

WHY BUONO!
— New and used, side by side. Most apps bury second-hand copies behind a separate tab. We rank them together, so the genuinely cheapest option always wins — brand new or gently read.
— Built for Europe. Real prices from European bookshops and resale platforms, in your own currency and local format — not a US tool with no coverage where you live.
— Vinted, pinned. Peer-to-peer listings get their own card, so you can check community prices in one tap.
— Independent by design. We deliberately skip the mega-marketplaces and point you to independent and specialist retailers instead — better for you, better for bookshops.
