What it is
Phia adds a Should I Buy This? button to Safari and Chrome that checks the item you're looking at against retail and resale prices across more than 220,000 sites, then labels the price high, typical or fair. If it's overpriced, Phia shows exact matches and similar items for less, including on resale sites such as The RealReal, ThredUp and eBay. It also applies coupon codes at checkout and can alert you when a saved item hits your target price.
Latest: Phia raised a $35 million Series A led by Notable Capital in January 2026.

How it scores
A genuinely useful price check for clothes and accessories, especially secondhand. It's narrow in scope and missing an Android app.
