# Match

Two listings Vessim has decided show the same product. Decided by the photo, not the title. Both photos are always shown, so you can check the match yourself in half a second. As of October 23, 2026, 9 of the 376 products in the Vessim index are matched across more than one listing.

## Why it matters at Vessim

A match is what turns many listings into one answer with every price.
