ThriftAI vs Scoutly
Scoutly, from ASellerTool, is an Amazon FBA scouting app built around an offline database that returns Amazon landed-price information in under a second without an internet connection. It also runs live lookups against Amazon regional sites, eBay, Google, BookScouter and CamelCamelCamel.
Like ScoutIQ, it is a barcode tool for booksellers. It is fast and it works in dead zones, and it does not attempt to identify an object that has no barcode.
ThriftAI covers the opposite ground: visual identification of barcode-less goods priced against eBay sold listings.
