DealScout alternatives, with Android, three marketplaces and a Deal Score

DealScout is an iPhone app with a free plan, one Facebook Marketplace search checked hourly, and in-app purchases from $4.99 to $199.99 for faster alerts and more searches. People look for an alternative when they want Android, faster checks without the jump to $39.99, OfferUp and Craigslist, or a price judgment on each listing. If you check Marketplace every day, whether flipping is your side thing, your whole job, or not the point at all, Deal Scanner does all of that for $3.99 a month: three searches across Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp and Craigslist, watched continuously, a Deal Score on each find, iPhone and Android, cancel anytime. The other alternatives and their prices are below for the record.

Why people look for a DealScout alternative

• No Android app. The listing is App Store only.
• Hourly on the free plan. The listing that sells in forty minutes is gone before the check.
• The jump. After the $4.99 single scout, the next tier is $39.99.
• One marketplace, mostly. Facebook, plus a Craigslist scout. No OfferUp.
• No price judgment. The alert is the listing; whether it is a good price is yours to work out.

Deal Scanner: three marketplaces, both phones, $3.99

Deal Scanner watches Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp and Craigslist from one search, on our servers, around the clock, and buzzes your iPhone or Android when a listing is posted, with the time we found it on every alert and a Deal Score on each find showing how far under the typical price near you it sits, measured from what your own search has seen. A relevance filter and a low and high price keep the junk out. No Facebook login, no account, no commitment. Casual $3.99 a month for 3 searches, Hunter $9.99 for 6, Pro $19.99 for 12, all three marketplaces on every plan. It is built for everyone who checks Marketplace every day: the person waiting for one truck, the person who flips on the side, and the person who does it full time.
