What Flipsentry is

Read from flipsentry.com and flipsentry.com/pricing on November 8, 2026:

• Five marketplaces listed. Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist and Kijiji on every plan, per its pricing table. The home page and footer now add Gumtree.
• Search slots by speed. Each plan gives you a set of searches at fixed check intervals. Starter's 7 searches are 3 at 5 minutes and 4 at 9 minutes. Hunter's 15 include one checked every minute. Master's 22 include three at one minute.
• Car price estimates. Hunter adds a basic car price calculation and Master an enhanced one, showing each listing against an estimated value.
• Filters. Keywords, price range, item condition, exclusion words, and a 5 to 250 mile radius.
• Apps. iPhone, Android and web.
• Who it's for, in its own words. "Join 1,000+ resellers." Starter is "perfect for casual flippers," Hunter is "for serious resellers," Master is "for dealers and serious resellers." It's a product of Quantra Tech LLC.

Its site doesn't say whether it needs your Facebook login.

What Flipsentry costs

Read from flipsentry.com/pricing, November 8, 2026 (unchanged from October 26):

Every plan starts with a 7-day trial with no credit card, per its site. Master is billed weekly, which works out to about $200 a month.

Why people look for a Flipsentry alternative

• $34.99 to start. Seven searches for $34.99 a month is priced like business software, not like an app. Fair for a reseller sourcing every day. A lot if you're after one riding mower or one PS5.
• Speed depends on the slot. Only some searches on each plan get the faster checks; the rest wait 9 minutes.
• It's built for resellers. The plan names, the car price estimates and the weekly Master plan all point at people buying to resell. If you check Marketplace every day, whether flipping is your side thing, your whole job, or not the point at all, you may want something priced for everybody.

Deal Scanner: three marketplaces, $3.99

Deal Scanner watches Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp and Craigslist from one search and buzzes your iPhone or Android when a matching listing is posted. Set the item, your town, how far you'd drive, and a low and high price. It watches from our servers around the clock with the app closed. It drops most accessories and lookalikes, so a search for a Milwaukee M18 drill doesn't fill up with batteries and bit sets, and it puts a Deal Score on each find showing how far under the typical price near you it sits, like "46% below typical." Every alert shows when we found the listing, so you know how fresh it is before you message. When a listing you were alerted about drops in price, your phone buzzes again with "was $X, now $Y."

No Facebook, OfferUp or Craigslist login, ever. No account, no name, no email.

Casual is $3.99 a month for 3 searches, Hunter $9.99 for 6, Pro $19.99 for 12, and yearly gives two months free. Every plan watches all three marketplaces at the same speed; plans differ only in how many searches you get. Flipping on the side? Pro gives you twelve searches across three marketplaces for $19.99 a month. Waiting on one snowblower? Pay for the month you're looking. Cancel when you've got it. It's for everybody else.
