Zwaptz
Seen over a man's shoulder, a hand holds up a phone with a dark, switched-off screen toward an old bicycle leaning against a brick garden workshop, terracotta pots on a shelf above it.

What actually happens

Every screen below is the running product, captured. Not a mockup and not a drawing.

  1. 1  Photograph it

    The Zwaptz appraisal form on a phone, with a photograph upload area and fields for what the item is.

    One photograph, no forms. You can also type the name yourself — a name you type beats a guess from one picture.

  2. 2  It works out what it is

    A finished Zwaptz appraisal: a vintage acoustic guitar of unknown brand, valued at 150 to 450 dollars, with a confidence bar reading Low, 35 percent, above a section headed How it got there.

    Brand, model, edition, and the details a photograph can carry — a maker's mark, how worn an edge is.

  3. 3  You get a range

    A Zwaptz item page showing a value range, a confidence figure and a Propose a swap button.

    Not a price. A band, with Low, Medium or High beside it and the reasoning underneath.

Why not one number

It tells you when it isn’t sure.

Two of the same object in different condition are not worth the same money, and no amount of confident presentation changes that. A single figure hides it. A range with a confidence figure shows it.

A wide range with low confidence is the honest answer, not a failure.

A Zwaptz appraisal on a phone. A panel headed Valued without comparable sales explains that nothing recent was looked up. Below, a camping dome tent is valued at 25 to 60 dollars with a confidence bar reading Low, 35 percent.
A camping dome tent, valued live. $25–$60 at Low, 35% — and the panel above the figure says plainly that nothing was looked up to check it against.

“That is not what it is”

Every valuation carries that line, and it is a button. Name the thing yourself and it is valued again from your answer rather than from the photograph. A model reading one picture gets this wrong in ways you will spot instantly.

What the confidence figure is measuring, and where it is capped, is on confidence.

Comparable sales are not looked up yet, so a range comes from what the model already knows about a market rather than from listings it checked, and confidence is held down to match. Every valuation says which of the two it is. Connecting that stage is the first thing the campaign pays for.
