Everything you need to decide with confidence

🏡

Built for Properties

Compare homes for sale and rent separately. See bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, floor and land area, sale method, ownership, rental availability, school information, and Google Maps links.

🚗

Tailored for Motors

Extracts odometer, body style, transmission, seats, fuel type, plate, year, owners, energy economy, auction closing dates, and displays WOF and Registration status instantly.

🔒

Your Workspace Stays Local

Saved listings, notes, decisions, and preferences stay in your browser. Reports are generated on your device. No accounts or analytics; loading photos and refreshing listings contacts their providers.

✓

A Manageable Shortlist

Set requirements, keep uncertain options in Needs checking, and choose which candidates enter the comparison. Sort by displayed price or mileage without an automated recommendation.

📝

Keep Your Reasons

Mark candidates Considering, Shortlisted, or Ruled out. Record viewing impressions and questions in plain-text notes. Restore a ruled out option whenever you reconsider.

⚖️

Focus on Differences

Hide identical factual rows and compare the differences that matter. Equivalent area and mileage formats are normalised, while missing information stays visible.

📄

Download Comparison Reports

PDF is the default: preview a saved snapshot of your current comparison or every listing in the group. Include photos, complete notes and descriptions, and clickable source links. CSV is available for spreadsheets.

🖼️

Explore Listing Photos

Browse photos one at a time, expand them, and zoom up to 4× with panning. Refresh photos on demand. If Trade Me needs to render the full gallery, open the listing and use Update saved details.

☑️

Choose Your Information

Choose which information appears in each comparison group. Your PDF starts with those choices, and you can change the report fields, notes, photos, and differences independently.
