# Huntli — Full Documentation for AI Agents > AI-powered shopping research assistant that helps users research, compare, and make informed purchasing decisions. This document carries Huntli's complete public content: what the product is, and the full text of every published guide. See https://huntli.app/llms.txt for the short manifest and https://huntli.app/sitemap.xml for the indexable URL list. ## Overview Huntli is a conversational AI shopping assistant deployed at https://huntli.app. Users interact through a chat interface, describing what they're looking for in natural language. The system searches across thousands of retailers in real-time, retrieves actual product data, verifies prices and stock status, scores products using AI, and presents transparent recommendations. Huntli is NOT a marketplace — it does not sell products directly. It is a research and comparison tool that helps users find the best options and then links them to the retailer's own website to complete their purchase. ## How It Works 1. **Ask**: Users describe what they need ("best wireless headphones under €200 for commuting") 2. **Discover**: Huntli searches the web, finding products across multiple retailers 3. **Verify**: Each vendor listing is checked — real prices, stock status, shipping availability 4. **Score**: AI analyzes and ranks products based on the user's priorities 5. **Decide**: Users compare options side-by-side and click through to buy from their chosen retailer ## Core Capabilities ### Product Discovery - Natural language search (not keyword-based) - Real-time web search across thousands of retailers - Multi-region support across 15 regions: US, UK, DE, NL, FR, CA, AU, AT, CH, BE, ES, IT, SE, NO, DK - Handles complex queries: "OLED TV for bright room, 55-65 inch, under €1500" ### Vendor Verification - Scrapes actual product pages to confirm prices - Checks stock availability in real-time - Validates shipping to user's region - Detects aggregators and marketplaces vs direct retailers ### AI Scoring & Comparison - Products scored 0–100 on value, specifications, and review sentiment - Side-by-side comparison tables generated by AI - Personalized recommendations based on user preferences - Badges: "Top Pick", "Best Value", "Best Premium" ### Stash Management - Save products to organized "Stashes" (shopping projects) - Set budgets and constraints per stash - Share stashes via read-only links - Compare saved products across stashes ## Supported Regions Huntli supports 15 regions with localized search, pricing, and vendor verification. | Region | Coverage | |--------|----------| | Netherlands (NL) | Primary — deepest retailer coverage | | Germany (DE) | Strong | | United Kingdom (UK) | Strong | | United States (US) | Strong | | France (FR) | Moderate | | Australia (AU) | Moderate | | Canada (CA) | Moderate | | Austria (AT) | Supported | | Switzerland (CH) | Supported | | Belgium (BE) | Supported | | Spain (ES) | Supported | | Italy (IT) | Supported | | Sweden (SE) | Basic | | Denmark (DK) | Basic | | Norway (NO) | Basic | ## Technology - Framework: Next.js (App Router, React 19) - AI: Google Gemini (latest models) - Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL) - Search: Serper.dev + Oxylabs - Scraping: Firecrawl + Oxylabs ## Pages - [Home](https://huntli.app): Landing page with product demo - [About](https://huntli.app/about): Brand story, mission, affiliate transparency disclosure - [How It Works](https://huntli.app/how-it-works): Visual walkthrough of the product experience - [Guides](https://huntli.app/guides): Original buying guides, how-tos, and comparisons (full text below) - [Examples](https://huntli.app/examples): Real, publicly viewable research Stashes - [FAQ](https://huntli.app/faq): Common questions about pricing, data, privacy - [Pricing](https://huntli.app/pricing): Free to use - [What's New](https://huntli.app/changelog): Release timeline - [Privacy Policy](https://huntli.app/privacy): GDPR-compliant data practices - [Terms of Service](https://huntli.app/terms): Usage terms and conditions ## Monetization Huntli uses affiliate links.

Every article below is reproduced in full. ### The Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones Under €400 — a Price-Verified Comparison URL: https://huntli.app/guides/best-noise-cancelling-headphones-under-400 Category: Buying Guide · Published: 2026-07-22 · Updated: 2026-07-22 · About: Noise-cancelling over-ear headphones under €400 Every “best headphones” list shares a dirty secret: it was true the day it was published. Prices move weekly, stock comes and goes, and last year’s $399 flagship is this year’s unadvertised $250 discount that the article never heard about. So this comparison works differently. It’s built on a live research Stash: real products, scored head-to-head, prices checked against live retailer pages. The numbers below are what we verified at research time; the Stash at the bottom re-verifies them, so it stays honest after we hit publish. #### The contenders — and why these We didn’t start from a brand list. We started from the search a real buyer makes (strong active noise cancellation, over-ear, under budget) and let the scoring sort out the rest. Four made the cut: a flagship, a former champion at a startling price, a budget outsider, and an expensive wildcard. - Bose QuietComfort Ultra, verified from €279.95, scored 92. Still the reference point for shutting the world up, now with Bose’s Immersive Audio widening the soundstage. - Sony WH-1000XM5, verified from €215.77, scored 90. Two processors driving eight microphones; the undisputed call-quality king. - Anker Soundcore Space One, verified from €64, scored 85. The budget outsider that refuses to act like one: LDAC hi-res support and strong voice reduction. - Apple AirPods Max (USB-C), verified from €399, scored 75. The 2024 refresh: USB-C at last, wired lossless support, and a price tag doing a lot of heavy lifting. #### How the scoring works Each product carries three transparent scores: value for money, specifications, and review sentiment (what owners say, not what spec sheets promise). They roll into the overall number you see above. Nothing is hand-tuned after the fact, and affiliate relationships play no part: every product on Huntli is scored by the same pipeline, and rankings never depend on them. #### The winner, and the asterisk that matters The Bose QuietComfort Ultra takes it at 92 — but the real story is the price. At its launch price it would have lost this comparison on value. At a verified €279.95, €119 under the most expensive product here, the best noise cancellation in the class sits mid-pack on price, and the contest stops being close. If silence is what you’re paying for, this is the buy. #### Who should buy the others ##### Sony WH-1000XM5 — for people who take calls A 90-point former flagship verified at €215.77, €64 under the Bose. It trails by a hair on raw cancellation and beats everything here on call quality, two processors driving eight microphones. If your commute involves talking to other humans, the gap to the Bose disappears and the price gap doesn’t. ##### Anker Soundcore Space One — the no-guilt pick €64, scored 85: closer to the flagships than to typical budget fare, at less than a quarter of the Sony’s price. You give up some material refinement and the last 15% of cancellation strength; you keep LDAC hi-res audio and strong voice reduction. First pair, travel spare, or a firm refusal to spend three figures on headphones: this is the one. ##### AirPods Max — only if you live in Apple’s world The 75 isn’t a typo, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise: at a verified €399 (squeaking under the budget) the most expensive product here scores lowest, dragged down by value for money. The build is superb and the ecosystem tricks (instant pairing, audio handoff) are real. But unless those tricks are precisely what you’re paying for, one of the other three serves you better. #### The wildcard: closed-back without the ANC tax Here’s the question no ANC roundup asks: do you actually need active noise cancellation? So we asked Huntli for the best closed-back option for noise suppression without it. The answer it came back with was the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, verified from €133.61 across 14 offers, with the manufacturer’s own store as the best-verified price and two music retailers within €6 of it. It’s in the Stash below as the fifth item, so you can compare it against the ANC four yourself. The case for it is the inverse of everything above: passive isolation instead of battery-powered processing, and the money goes into sound. It’s a studio fixture for a reason: unmatched long-term comfort on the legendary velour earpads, extreme durability with fully replaceable parts, isolation good enough for recording booths, and a spaciousness of soundstage that closed designs almost never manage. The cons from the same analysis: it’s bulky and doesn’t fold, the cable is fixed, and the treble can run sharp for sensitive ears. For a commute it loses to everything above: no ANC beats passive isolation on an airplane. For a desk, a home studio, or anyone who resents paying for electronics they’ll never toggle, it might just be the best buy on this page, at a third of the AirPods Max’s price. #### Skip all of these if… …you mostly listen at a quiet desk (see the wildcard above, or go open-back and get better sound per euro than anything with a battery), or you need something for sport, where over-ears are simply the wrong shape. Knowing when the category is wrong is worth more than any ranking within it. #### How we verified Every price above was checked against the retailer’s live product page, not a cached feed, and cross-referenced across sources; a vendor priced suspiciously far from consensus gets flagged, not crowned. Prices will have moved by the time you read this. That’s the point of the live Stash below: check it before you buy. --- ### How to Plan a Gaming PC Build (Without a Spreadsheet) URL: https://huntli.app/guides/how-to-plan-a-gaming-pc-build Category: How-To · Published: 2026-07-23 · Updated: 2026-07-23 · About: Planning and costing a gaming PC parts list Every PC build starts the same way: eleven browser tabs, a spreadsheet you’ll abandon by Thursday, and the creeping suspicion that the RAM in tab six doesn’t match the motherboard in tab four. We planned a real 2026 gaming build in a Huntli Stash instead: component by component, prices verified, compatibility tracked, budget running live. This is that build, including the parts where the tooling caught us being wrong. #### Two decisions define the build Everything in a gaming PC orbits the CPU and the GPU. Get those two right and the rest of the list mostly picks itself. ##### CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, verified from $419.99 Eight Zen 5 cores under AMD’s 3D V-Cache — the reigning gaming CPU, and the one part of this build we’d call non-negotiable at this tier. It also makes the first compatibility decision for you: you’re now on the AM5 socket, and every motherboard that isn’t AM5 just left the conversation. ##### GPU: the $300 question Rather than pretend there’s one right answer, we scored both candidates head-to-head: - NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti Founders Edition, verified from $699, scored 87. The 1440p-and-beyond pick. - NVIDIA RTX 5070 Founders Edition, verified from $399, scored 82. Five points of score for $300 of savings: the best trade in the entire build if you game at 1440p with DLSS. #### The parts that follow - Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi, verified from $139.99. AM5 for the CPU, PCIe 5.0 for the GPU and future storage. B650E is the sweet spot; X870 boards add cost, not frames. - Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30, verified from $280. DDR5-6000 CL30 is the known Ryzen sweet spot. - Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe, verified from $248.70. Up to 7,450 MB/s reads, and 2TB because modern install sizes made 1TB a running joke. - Power: Corsair RM850x (2024), verified from $88. 850W, 80 PLUS Gold, fully modular, sized with headroom for the 5070 Ti’s transient spikes, the spec people undersize most often. #### What the compatibility tracker caught This is the part a spreadsheet can’t do, because a spreadsheet only knows what you typed into it. A Build a System Stash tracks the constraints between parts, and this build tripped three of them along the way: - The socket chain. Choosing the 9800X3D silently rules out every non-AM5 board. The Stash carries that constraint forward, so an incompatible motherboard shows up flagged instead of looking like a bargain. - The memory-profile trap. DDR5 kits advertise their speed via XMP (Intel) or EXPO (AMD) profiles. An XMP-only kit on an AMD board can boot at slow default timings: the classic “why is my new PC sluggish” mystery. The Trident Z5 Neo is EXPO-certified, which is precisely why it’s the pick. - The over-specified build. The Stash currently shows a build conflict, and it’s right: two GPUs are sitting in a one-GPU build while we decide between them. The tracker treats the parts list as a claim about a real machine, and it won’t call the build coherent until we commit. Mildly annoying; exactly what you want. #### What the completeness check caught Compatibility asks “do these parts work together?” Completeness asks the sneakier question: “what’s not here?” The Stash’s built-in completeness check flags what a seven-item list still hides: a CPU cooler (the 9800X3D ships without one), a case, and the operating system everyone forgets, with case fans and peripherals filed under “recommended” rather than “required.” Budget another $150–200 for a good tower cooler and an airflow case before calling the list final. #### The running total With the 5070 Ti, the seven researched parts come to roughly $1,876 as verified; the 5070 swap brings it near $1,576. Add cooler and case and you land around $2,050 or $1,750. The Stash tracks that arithmetic live against your budget as prices shift, so the total you’re looking at is never Thursday’s total. #### The method, reusable Start a Build a System Stash. Add the two defining parts first. Let every later search inherit their constraints. Run the completeness check before you spend a cent. The spreadsheet dies — and the assembly-day surprises die with it. --- ### A Mirrorless Camera Starter Kit: What You Actually Need (and What Can Wait) URL: https://huntli.app/guides/mirrorless-camera-starter-kit Category: Buying Guide · Published: 2026-07-24 · Updated: 2026-07-24 · About: The first-purchase kit for a mirrorless camera system The fastest way to kill the joy of a first real camera is to spend the whole budget before taking a photo. Camera retail is engineered for exactly that: bundle deals, “essential” accessory kits, a tripod you’ll use twice. So we researched a complete 12-item starter kit in a Huntli Stash (bodies, lenses, accessories, every price verified) and then did the thing gear lists won’t: split it into what you need on day one and what is fine to leave for later. #### The essential four: camera, lens, battery, card You can shoot happily for months with these — and only these. - Body: Sony Alpha a6700, verified from $631.98, scored 92, the top pick of the entire kit. A 26MP APS-C sensor with a dedicated AI processor for subject tracking: the feature that makes a beginner’s keeper rate look like a pro’s. - Lens: Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS, verified from $198, scored 84. One bright, stabilized prime. A ~50mm-equivalent view that teaches composition better than any zoom, and f/1.8 handles dim rooms without flash. - Spare battery: Sony NP-FZ100, verified from $35.95, scored 86. Mirrorless bodies eat batteries; the spare is day-one gear, not an accessory. The SmallRig USB-C version (verified from $33, scored 78) charges itself off any USB-C cable — our budget pick, and the smarter design. - Card: SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB SDXC, verified from $44.99. Fast enough for 4K and bursts; big enough that you stop thinking about it. Essential total: about $911 as verified. A complete kit. Nothing above is padding. #### Two alternatives on the body - Budget: Sony a6400, verified from $439.20, scored 78. Previous-generation autofocus that is still excellent, and the ~$193 saved pays for the spare battery, the card, and most of a second lens. Not sure photography will stick? Start here. - Premium: Nikon Z6 II, verified from $660, scored 82. Full-frame low-light performance for barely more than the a6700, but it commits you to pricier full-frame glass forever after. That’s why it’s the premium path, not the default pick. #### What can wait, and the moment to buy it - Travel zoom: Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS (verified from $301.41, scored 82): buy it before your first trip, not before your first photo. A huge focal range in a remarkably portable frame. - Bag and strap: Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L (from $60) and Slide Lite (from $60.50): lovely, and completely replaceable by the kit strap and any bag you own for month one. - Tripod: Ulanzi Zero Y carbon fiber (from $223.96): wait until you actually hit its use case — long exposures, night skies, video. Most beginners never do. - Sensor cleaning kit: VSGO 8-in-1 (from $29.95): buy it the first time you change lenses in the field. Not before. #### Kit math, stated plainly All twelve researched items total roughly $2,320 as verified — a number that explains why starter-kit marketing deserves your suspicion. The essential four cost $911. The budget path (a6400 body, SmallRig battery) lands near $715. Photography will get expensive later, on its own schedule. It doesn’t need your help on day one. #### How this list was built This is a Curate a Collection Stash: each item researched as its own search, scored on value, specs, and owner sentiment, and price-verified against live retailer pages. The prices above were current at research time; the live Stash below re-checks them, so look there before you buy anything. --- ### Budget vs. Maximizer: How Your Shopping Persona Changes What Wins URL: https://huntli.app/guides/budget-vs-maximizer-shopping-personas Category: Editorial · Published: 2026-07-23 · Updated: 2026-07-23 · About: How shopping personas re-weight product scoring Ask two friends which headphones to buy and you’ll get two different answers. Neither of them is wrong — they’re answering different questions. One is asking “what’s the least I can spend and still be happy?” The other is asking “what’s the best I can get before the price stops being worth it?” Same shelf, opposite directions: the first treats price as the score and quality as the constraint; the second treats quality as the score and price as the constraint. Most shopping sites flatten that difference into one ranking. Huntli makes it explicit: a Shopping Persona changes how products are searched, scored, and ranked. And the same four products can produce two different winners. #### What a persona changes Every product on Huntli is scored on three dimensions: value for money, specifications, and review sentiment. A persona re-weights those dimensions, and biases what gets searched in the first place: - Budget Hunter stops looking the moment something clears the quality bar at the lowest verified price. Above that bar, extra refinement earns almost nothing: “good enough, verified cheap” is the win condition, and it hunts the lower price tiers to find it. - Maximizer stops looking the moment quality plateaus. It reads specs and sentiment first, price second, and asks only whether the next euro still buys meaningful improvement: the last winner standing before the price-per-improvement curve goes vertical. - Balanced (the default) splits the difference, while Eco-Conscious, Used & Recycled, Luxury & Premium, and fully custom personas each bend the search a different way: they change what surfaces at all, not just the order. #### We ran both: same query, two personas One query: “best noise cancelling headphones under €400”, German market, executed twice, back to back, changing nothing but the persona. Both runs agreed on the technical facts. What they did with those facts is the whole story. - Budget Hunter conceded the technical crown immediately: the Sony WH-1000XM6 is “the technical winner for 2026”, and then argued against buying it, verbatim: “for a Budget Hunter, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 is the superior ROI choice — it offers nearly identical sound quality and double the battery life for almost €150 less.” And it kept a floor open: the Soundcore Space Q45 at around €80, “flagship-tier” silence for as little as possible. - Maximizer never showed the Q45 at all. Instead it pulled in a product the Budget Hunter run didn’t surface (the newer Sennheiser Momentum 5 with aptX Lossless) and weighed it against the XM6 on isolation, codecs, and battery, with price barely entering the argument: “if you prioritize raw battery life and audiophile-grade codecs… the superior technical choice.” Same question, different shelves: the two runs didn’t just reorder a podium, they assembled different candidate pools: the claim from the top of this piece, demonstrated. (These fresh searches also read the live market, which is why the contenders differ from our curated Stash, another reminder that rankings have a shelf life.) #### Which persona fits which purchase - Commodity purchases (cables, batteries, kitchen basics): Budget Hunter, always. Specs are table stakes and paying up buys nearly nothing. - Daily-driver gear (headphones, office chair, mattress): Maximizer earns its keep: a premium amortized over thousands of hours of use is the cheapest premium you’ll ever pay. - First-time category buys (first camera, first espresso machine): Balanced or Budget Hunter. You don’t yet know which specs you care about, and overpaying for capability you can’t evaluate is the classic beginner tax. - Values-driven purchases: Eco-Conscious and Used & Recycled exist precisely for this: they reshape the candidate pool itself. #### The caveat A persona is a lens, not a magic trick. A bad product (weak sentiment, weak specs, bad price) is not rescued by any weighting. Personas decide how the good options rank against each other, which is exactly the decision where reasonable people disagree. Run one search under two personas and watch the podium move; it’s the fastest way to find out what you optimize for. (And if you’re wondering about Luxury & Premium: it doesn’t reorder this list — it replaces it. That’s a different enough story to deserve its own article.) --- ### Why We Verify Every Price (and What We Found When We Did) URL: https://huntli.app/guides/why-we-verify-every-price Category: Editorial · Published: 2026-07-22 · Updated: 2026-07-30 · About: Live price verification and why listed prices go stale Most product-recommendation sites have a quiet embarrassment at their core: the price you’re reading was true whenever the article was written, and the link you’re about to click leads wherever it happens to lead today. The review might be excellent. The commerce layer underneath it is often a fossil. Huntli’s founding design decision was to invert that priority: no product reaches your results until its listing has been checked against the retailer’s live page. We recently went through our verification logs to answer a fair question: what does that check actually catch? Here’s the audit, unflattering parts included. #### What “verified” means here When Huntli finds a product, it doesn’t stop at the search result. The pipeline visits the vendor’s page and confirms four things before a card ever renders: the current price, stock status, shipping to your region, and that the page sells the product we matched: not an accessory, a bundle, or a different variant wearing the same name. Then prices get cross-referenced across sources: a vendor sitting suspiciously far below consensus gets flagged, not crowned “cheapest.” #### The scoreboard, from our own logs Across the several thousand vendor pages our pipeline has verified and cached, about a quarter fail the check. Roughly a fifth of stock checks come back out of stock despite the listing claiming otherwise, and about one page in ten turns out to be the wrong product entirely. Several hundred more carried a price on the page that disagreed with the price in the feed that advertised them. That’s the hidden failure rate of raw shopping results: the reason this step exists. #### Three catches from the logs ##### The accessory wearing the product’s name Searching the Blueair Blue 3210 air purifier (a ~€200 device), the cheapest “matches” from five separate retailers were not the purifier at all. A major electronics chain’s page sold a replacement pre-filter; a large marketplace offered a fabric filter cover; another listed a generic replacement filter; a second-hand marketplace offered the wrong model. All five were caught by the identity check and rejected, with the reason logged verbatim: “is an accessory, not the air purifier itself.” A price sorter without verification would have crowned a €20 filter the “cheapest” purifier on the market. ##### The €11.99 flagship headphones On a search for Sony’s flagship WH-1000XM6 (consensus around €330), one marketplace surfaced at €11.99. Real page, real number: it was a monthly rental fee scraped as a purchase price. The suspicious-price floor rejected it, as it did a €16.50 “Bose QuietComfort Ultra” and a €20.25 “Sennheiser Momentum 4.” This isn’t a rare edge case: that floor has fired over 1,800 times across nearly 1,400 distinct listings. Too-good-to-be-true is a high-volume category. ##### The discount you can’t take at face value In our skincare showcase, one import reseller lists The Ordinary’s Vitamin C suspension at €27.89, “was €69.28” — beside sellers clustered around €10, apparently a sevenfold markup on a €9 serum. It isn’t: the listing title reveals a multi-bottle set, so both of its numbers price several bottles against everyone else’s one. Sizes, bundles, and multipacks all publish “a price,” and a discount banner never tells you what the price is for — what verification caught here wasn’t a scam, it was an incomparable column. The genuinely fictional anchor exists too, and it looks like this: #### Border pricing The same product routinely carries different prices across the 15 regions Huntli covers: currency, VAT, import routes, and plain market-by-market strategy all contribute, and import resellers love to bridge the gap at a markup. Verifying per region, in local currency, means you see your market’s truth instead of a converted approximation, and an “imported” price stops masquerading as a deal. #### Why we link out instead of locking you in Every result on Huntli ends at the retailer’s own product page: you buy from the store, at the store’s price, with the store’s buyer protections. Some of those links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you; that’s how a free product pays its bills. The useful side effect is alignment: a service that benefits only when your purchase works out has every reason to send you somewhere real, in stock, and correctly priced. #### The test any comparison site should survive Including this one — don’t take “verified” on faith. The test is one click: the price on the retailer’s page should be the price you were shown, the item should be in stock, and the product should be the product. A comparison site that survives that click every time is doing the work; one that doesn’t is decoration around an affiliate link. We built Huntli to survive it. Run a search and click. --- ### An Everyday Skincare Routine That Actually Fits Together (for ~€77) URL: https://huntli.app/guides/skincare-routine-that-fits-together Category: Buying Guide · Published: 2026-07-30 · Updated: 2026-07-30 · About: Building a compatible everyday skincare routine on a budget Skincare advice has a scale problem: every product is “essential,” every routine is twelve steps, and somehow the total always lands north of €300. So we built the opposite in a Huntli Stash: a four-product everyday routine, every price verified, treated exactly like an engineer’s parts list. Total: about €77. And because the Stash runs the same build-health checks on a skincare routine as on a PC build, it caught two things a shopping list can’t: a genuine conflict between two of the products, and the step everyone skips. #### The four products, verified - Cleanser: CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, verified from €11.49. The gold standard for dry and normal skin: three ceramides and hyaluronic acid, no fragrance, no drama. - Vitamin C: The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%, verified from €8.86. Pure L-ascorbic acid at a concentration most brands charge five times more for. Gritty texture, honest price. - Exfoliant: Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid, verified from €37.50. The routine’s one splurge, and the internet’s most-recommended salicylic-acid exfoliant for a reason: it unclogs pores instead of scrubbing them. - Moisturizer: CeraVe Moisturising Cream (454g), verified from €19.13. The iconic blue tub, in the size that stops you rationing it — which is most of what makes a moisturizer work. Four products, ~€77 against a €150 budget: the Stash’s cost tracker shows €72 still on the table, which will matter in a minute. #### The conflict the routine listicles skip Here’s where treating a routine like a build pays off. The Stash’s compatibility check flagged a real interaction: “Combining high-concentration Vitamin C (23%) and BHA (2%) in the same routine can cause significant irritation and compromise the skin barrier; it is recommended to alternate usage (e.g., AM for Vitamin C, PM for BHA).” Two excellent products the check would rather you didn’t stack in one sitting: the skincare equivalent of two GPUs in one PC build. The fix costs nothing: Vitamin C in the morning, BHA in the evening. It just rarely makes it onto a product page. #### The step the checker refuses to waive Run the completeness check and the routine scores 67% complete — with one required slot empty: sunscreen. This is the tool agreeing with every dermatologist alive: exfoliating acids and Vitamin C make SPF non-negotiable, and a routine without it isn’t “minimalist,” it’s unfinished. That’s what the leftover €72 in the budget is for, and why we’d rather ship this guide with a visible gap than pretend four products are the whole story. (A night cream shows up as “recommended,” not required. It can wait.) #### The discount that nearly fooled us too One more thing this Stash taught us. One import reseller lists that €8.86 Vitamin C at €27.89, “was €69.28” — which, next to a column of sellers clustered around €10, reads like a sevenfold rip-off. It isn’t: the listing title gives it away as a multi-bottle set, so both of its numbers price several bottles against everyone else’s one. That’s the real trap in skincare pricing — sizes, bundles, and multipacks all publish “a price,” and none of them are comparable until you know what the price is for. It’s why we verify listings, not numbers. More of what verification catches is in ; the short version: read what the price buys before you read the price. #### How to run this routine Morning: cleanser, Vitamin C, moisturizer, and the sunscreen you’re about to add. Evening: cleanser, BHA (two to three times a week to start), moisturizer. That’s the whole system: four verified products, one flagged conflict managed by the clock, one required slot left open on purpose, and change from €80. The live Stash below re-verifies every price — check it before you buy. --- ### How Huntli Scores Products: Value, Specs, and What Owners Actually Say URL: https://huntli.app/guides/how-huntli-scores-products Category: Editorial · Published: 2026-08-04 · Updated: 2026-08-04 · About: How the Huntli product score is calculated Every comparison site hands you a number. Almost none of them tell you where it came from — which is convenient, because a score you can’t interrogate is a score you can’t argue with. We think the number is only useful if you can see the machinery, so this piece opens ours up: what goes into a Huntli score, what deliberately doesn’t, and when you should overrule it. #### Three ingredients, in the open Every product on Huntli is scored on the same three dimensions: - Value for money — what the product delivers relative to its verified price. Not the list price, not the phantom “was” price: the price a retailer will charge you today, checked against the live page. A price cut moves this number, which is why scores shift over time. - Specifications — the objective sheet, weighted by what matters in the category: ANC strength and battery for headphones, sensor and autofocus for cameras, VRAM and thermals for graphics cards. Spec sheets are where marketing goes to exaggerate — this dimension reads them like a skeptic. - Review sentiment — what owners say after living with the product: the recurring complaint in month three, the praise that survives the honeymoon. Aggregated across sources so one campaign of five-star enthusiasm can’t swing it. In our headphones showcase you can watch the three dimensions argue: the Bose QuietComfort Ultra scores 92 with best-in-class ANC at a mid-pack price; the AirPods Max (superb build, highest price) lands at 75, dragged down by value for money. Same machinery, no thumb on the scale. #### What deliberately isn’t in the score Affiliate relationships. Like everywhere on Huntli, some outbound retailer links in our comparisons may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. The scoring pipeline has no visibility into which links those are: every product runs through the same code path, and rankings never depend on how, or whether, a purchase supports Huntli. The disclosure at the bottom of this page describes that architecture, not just a policy. Brand reputation gets no standalone bonus either; it has to earn its way in through specifications or owner sentiment. #### Personas move the weights, visibly The three dimensions have default weights, and your re-balances them: Budget Hunter leans hard into value, Maximizer into specs and sentiment. That’s why the same products can produce different podiums for different people. The score isn’t pretending there’s one objective ranking; it’s making your priorities explicit and then applying them consistently. #### When to overrule the number A score compresses; compression loses things. It doesn’t know your head shape, your existing ecosystem, or that you find a product ugly: legitimate reasons to buy the 85 over the 92. Two rules of thumb: treat gaps of a few points as a tie broken by your own taste, and treat a big gap on the dimension you care about as the signal that matters. The score’s job is to shrink thirty tabs to three candidates and show its work. The last call was always yours.
