AntiqBot vs Curio — Antique Identification
Two AI tools for antiques, but with different approaches and depth.
Curio vs AntiqBot: what do you get?
Curio is a mobile app that identifies antique objects from photos. It provides quick recognition and basic information about what you've photographed. It's a handy tool for a first impression at flea markets or thrift stores.
AntiqBot goes deeper. Beyond identification, AntiqBot analyzes style period, origin markers, authenticity indicators, and provides an estimated market value based on recent auction results. Every analysis is backed by 30 years of antique expertise from the Belgian and European market.
Curio recognizes the object. AntiqBot understands the object.
The difference becomes especially clear with complex objects. A Chinese porcelain vase isn't just identified as "Chinese porcelain" — AntiqBot analyzes the dynasty stamp, glaze composition, decoration style, and compares with known workshops and periods.

Where does each excel?
Different purpose, different depth
Curio is a fine entry-level app for quick recognition. However, if you want to know value, verify authenticity, or need a well-founded analysis for sales, insurance, or estate purposes, AntiqBot offers a fundamentally different level of depth.
AntiqBot combines AI technology with decades of antique experience from the Belgian and European market. That's the difference between "this is a vase" and "this is a Meissen vase from circa 1760, estimated value €800–1,200".
