Common questions
What auction sites does it work on?
AuctionLens works on any auction listing page — Invaluable, Christie's, Sotheby's, Bonhams, Phillips, Heritage, LiveAuctioneers, Drouot, and many more. If the page has a title, images, and a description, AuctionLens can research it.
How accurate is the AI analysis?
AuctionLens uses AI to synthesise real search results — auction records, scholarly articles, and museum databases. The analysis is grounded in real data, but like any AI tool, it can make mistakes. Always verify important claims before making purchase decisions.
Is it free?
During the pilot, yes — completely free. After the pilot, we'll offer a freemium model with a limited number of free searches per month and a paid subscription for unlimited access.
