FAQ
Straight answers to make smarter, evidence-led choices.
DupeScan prioritises explainability. We show how comparisons are made, what evidence informs each match, and where the limits are, so you can decide with clarity.
Where can I search or scan products? +
Search and scan are app-first features. This website explains the comparison approach and the evidence behind matches, so you can understand the method before downloading the app.
What is a beauty dupe? +
A dupe is a lower-cost option that aims to deliver a similar role or benefit, not an identical copy. DupeScan focuses on functional intent, ingredient profile, and product format to identify practical alternatives.
How does DupeScore work? +
DupeScore is a weighted score that combines ingredient similarity, functional performance signals, texture or format alignment, and usage goals. We surface the factors behind each score so you can see what drives the match.
Does DupeScan compare ingredients only? +
No. Ingredients are an important layer, but we also assess product format, finish, performance intent, and user goals. This helps ensure matches are usable alternatives rather than a purely similar list.
Are recommendations sponsored? +
No. DupeScan does not accept paid placements. Matches are generated from transparent comparison logic, and we show the evidence that informs each recommendation.
Where do the retailer links go? +
Links take you to trusted retailers or brand sites where the products are available. We prioritise reputable sources so you can shop securely and compare options with confidence.
Can I trust the matches? +
We provide clear evidence for every match, including ingredient overlap, functional notes, and scoring drivers. That transparency lets you verify the logic and choose what works for you.
