Buono: Book Price Compare

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.
— Second-hand, pinned. Copies from private sellers get their own card, so you can check second-hand 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.

PRICE-DROP ALERTS — FREE
Found the book but not ready to buy? Tap notify me and we'll tell you the moment the price falls. No subscription.

EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE APP
— Any ISBN, any edition. The scanner reads every book barcode (ISBN / EAN-13); typing a title or author works just as well.
— Hand-picked lists and a bestseller feed. Nothing in your hand? Home is full of curated reading lists and an endless scroll of bestsellers, each one a tap away from its prices.
— Wishlist. Save books for later and watch up to 10 of them for price drops.
— History. Every book you've checked is kept, so you can re-check a price in one tap.
— Choose where it ships. Pick your delivery country and the prices follow — handy if you live in one country and order from another.
— Share a book. Send any book's page to a friend; if they have BUONO! it opens straight in the app.
— Cookbooks, too. Some cookbooks offer a ckbk subscription alongside the usual prices — read the whole book, plus 1,100+ others, without buying a copy.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. No profile to build. Open the app, scan, save. That's it.

Scan smarter. Read for less.

New: start typing and Buono suggests authors and titles as you go. Second-hand copies now say "Second-hand" on the price list, and Spanish editions show the right language tag. Happy hunting for your next bargain read!
