Black Friday 2026 · Free Chrome extension
Is your Black Friday list actually worth it?
Every deal comes with a claim. Clinically proven. Dermatologist recommended. Best in class. Paste what you're planning to buy, and before the sale starts we tell you two things.
1
Is the claim true?
We check every claim against real sources and show you what holds up, with the links.
2
Is there a better buy?
We find options that do the same job for less, or do it better for the same price.

Anker Prime Power Bank 20000mAh
The maker has documented fire-hazard recalls on its power banks, and the capacity and output claims have no independent test behind them.
- Charges phones and laptops on the go
- 20,000 mAh capacity
- 200 W output
Depends
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
Well-studied ingredients, but the claims rest on ingredient evidence rather than tests of this cream. Two cheaper alternatives.
- Restores the skin barrier
- Hydrates with hyaluronic acid
- Smooths texture with niacinamide
How we rate
Worth it
At least one of the product's claims is backed by an independent source, and nothing is documented against it.
Skip it
We found a recall or safety action, a claim the evidence contradicts, or a clearly better value for the same thing.
Depends
The evidence is thin or mixed, so the answer rests on what you need it for. We say so rather than guess.
Sources we use: medical literature (PubMed), U.S. recall records (CPSC and FDA), and the product's own listed ingredients or specs. The brand's own site never counts as evidence. Every cited page is fetched and checked before it appears.
How it works
- 1
Open a product page
Any store on the web. A small badge appears in the corner when the page sells something. Nothing to turn on.
- 2
Tap "Check this product"
We read the brand, name, price and ingredient list, research the product, and verify every citation by fetching it.
- 3
Read the verdict
Worth it, skip it, or depends, and why. Each claim with its evidence and source. Better options that say what differs: same quality for a lower price, or better quality for the same price.
The panel on a real store page: the verdict, then three better options and what each does differently.
Questions people ask
What happens when I submit my list?
We check each product the same way the extension does and email you the verdicts, along with the install link. One email. If you install the extension first, the products on your list open instantly.
Which stores does it work on?
Any https store: Amazon, Walmart, Target, Sephora, Ulta, Best Buy, and every brand's own site. The badge appears when the page sells a product.
Does it cost anything?
No. Your first 5 checks need no account, a free account gives you 5 more, and a product anyone has already checked is free to open as many times as you like. The first 20 sign-ups get unlimited checks through December 31: create your account in the extension with the same email and it applies on its own.
What does it read from the page?
The product's brand, name, price, ingredient or spec list, and the site's domain. Not the full page address, not the page's HTML, not your browsing history, not other sites' cookies. On a page that isn't selling something it sends nothing.
Where do the verdicts come from?
Published evidence, found and read for each product: studies on PubMed for ingredients, recall records at the CPSC and FDA for the maker, and the product's own listed ingredients or specs. A model reads those pages and writes the verdict; every cited page is then fetched and checked, and anything dead or off-topic is dropped. The rules for the three ratings are in "How we rate" above.
