How to compare products you saved from TikTok and Instagram

Restash · Guides · Updated

Short answer

To compare products you saved from social media, collect the posts in one place, pull out the product name, brand, the price mentioned and key specs, and compare two to four options side by side. Restash does this in its Products workspace: it reads each saved product post and shows a side-by-side comparison, labelling prices as captured from the post rather than live.

“TikTok made me buy it” is easier to resist when you can see all six options at once.

Why social shopping is messy

  • Reviews are scattered across creators and platforms.
  • Prices in videos are old by the time you decide.
  • You forget which version had the feature you cared about.

How to compare properly

  1. Save every contender to one Products or Wishlist workspace.
  2. Note the one or two things that matter (size, battery, material).
  3. Compare two to four options side by side.
  4. Check the current price on the retailer’s site before buying.

What Restash shows

For each saved product, Restash captures what the post states — product name, brand, price and retailer mentioned, specs, pros and cons — and lets you compare picks side by side. It does not invent a winner, and missing details stay visibly missing.

FAQ

How do I keep a wishlist of things I see on TikTok?

Share product videos to a Products workspace in Restash. It captures the product details from each post so your wishlist is searchable and comparable.

Does Restash show live prices?

No. Restash shows the price as captured from the saved post and labels it that way. Check the retailer for the current price.

Can I compare products side by side?

Yes. The Restash Products workspace compares two to four saved products side by side.
