Both show what things actually sold for, which is the number that matters when you price something. Terapeak, now called Product Research inside eBay's Seller Hub, is free and covers eBay. WorthPoint is paid and pulls from hundreds of sources, including auction houses.
Disclosure: this site is Value Identifier, one of the tools compared. We say where it loses, and every other price is from the vendor's own page or App Store listing, checked October 21, 2026.

The short answer
If you sell on eBay, start with Terapeak: it is free in Seller Hub and shows up to three years of eBay sales. Pay for WorthPoint when your items sell mostly at auction houses or specialist markets that eBay data misses, which is common for antiques and fine art.
Where Terapeak wins
Free, deep eBay data. eBay made Terapeak free for all sellers in 2021 and folded it into Seller Hub as Product Research. Search a keyword and you get average sold prices, sell-through rates and up to three years of history. For sneakers, video games, electronics and most modern collectibles, eBay is the market, so this is the most relevant data you can get. Its limits: eBay only, keyword search only, and you need a seller account.
Where WorthPoint wins
Breadth beyond eBay. WorthPoint gathers sales from about 350 sources, including auction houses, so it covers antiques, art and older collectibles that rarely trade on eBay at their real value. It adds maker's-mark identification with MARKS. It costs $26.99 a month or $249.99 a year in the App Store, with no free plan.
Where Value Identifier fits
Value Identifier is the tool on this site. You take or upload a photo, it identifies the item and returns an estimated value range in dollars, based on recent sold prices the model finds online. It works in the browser with no account: one free scan a day. The web pass is $4.99 a week or $24.99 a year; the iPhone app charges more for the same thing ($6.99 a week or $34.99 a year), so the web is the cheaper way to buy it.
Where it loses: it is an estimate, not a database of sales you can browse, and it does not always show the listings behind a number. Its iPhone app is new, with 12 ratings. Use it to find out quickly whether something is worth a closer look, then check sold listings before you sell anything valuable.
