AI Vinyl Record Value Scanner App

Get your vinyl collection instantly valued with just a photo

In plain English

Point a phone at a vinyl record and this app estimates what it is worth, then does the same across a collection from photos alone. Collectors can see a free preview and pay a subscription for the full result, because looking up every album by hand takes a long time. Almost all of the picture reading and the value estimate is done by the AI, and payment collection is handled too. The person running the app still checks quality, helps collectors, shares it in short videos and the phone app store, and steps in when a result needs a human look.
