Flipify review: eight marketplaces, priced per search

Flipify is a marketplace alert app built for resellers, and it is the one with the longest marketplace list: Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Kijiji, OfferUp, Vinted, eBay, Mercari and Gumtree. It bills per search, which it calls a watchlist: $5 a month for one checked every 10 minutes, $10 a month for one checked every minute. This review is from its website and its App Store and Google Play listings and reviews, read on October 26, 2026; we have not paid for a plan, and we say so. If you check Marketplace every day, whether flipping is your side thing, your whole job, or not the point at all, the last section is about what the same alerts cost from Deal Scanner, which is ours: $3.99 a month for three searches.

What Flipify is

A watchlist is one search on one set of marketplaces. Basic watchlists are checked every 10 minutes; Premium every minute. Alerts come as push notifications on iPhone and Android, with a web app too. Core alerts work without a Facebook login; an optional feature that auto-messages Facebook sellers needs one. The site is built around reselling: flipping guides, profit calculators, a "best things to flip" library, car-alert pages by city, an API for developers and an affiliate program paying 20%. It is a well-built reseller product with a real company behind it (Sam Salfi, per the App Store).

What Flipify costs

Read from flipifyapp.com on October 26, 2026:

The App Store listing's in-app purchase list runs from a $3.99 weekly plan to a $169.99 tier, so the app and the website price differently; the site says trial terms in the apps may differ from the web.

Three searches, which is what most people actually watch, are $15 a month on Basic or $30 on Premium. The seven-day trial needs a payment method up front.

What the store reviews say

App Store: 4.2 stars from 75 ratings. The praise is for the marketplace coverage and the one-minute Premium check. The complaints cluster on the per-search cost once you have several, the card-up-front trial, and the 10-minute Basic interval being too slow for competitive items, which Flipify's own blog discusses.

Who Flipify is built for

Resellers who work several marketplaces, including eBay, Mercari and the clothing sites, and who want to pay for a one-minute check on a specific item. The site, the guides and the pricing all assume you are sourcing to resell.

What everyone else uses

Most people who check Marketplace every day are watching for a few things on Facebook, OfferUp and Craigslist, not Vinted and Mercari, and they want a buzz when it is listed and a straight answer on whether the price is good. Per-search billing is the wrong shape for that: three things to watch is $15 to $30 a month.

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. 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 uses Marketplace, and the alerts work the same whether you buy for yourself, flip on the side, or do it full time.
