Flipsentry review: what it does, what it costs, who it's built for

Flipsentry is a marketplace alert app built for resellers. It watches Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist and Kijiji (its home page now lists Gumtree too) and sends a push alert when a listing matches your search. Starter is $34.99 a month for 7 searches checked every 5 to 9 minutes, Hunter is $99.99 a month for 15, and Master is $49.99 a week for 22. It has apps for iPhone and Android, and the App Store shows 4.7 stars from 14 ratings. It's a good fit for someone sourcing inventory every day. If you want the same idea at app prices, Deal Scanner, which is ours, watches Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp and Craigslist from one search for $3.99 a month. This review is from Flipsentry's own site and App Store listing, read November 9, 2026. We have not paid for a plan, and we say so.

What Flipsentry is

A watcher for classifieds sites. You set keywords, a price range, item condition, words to leave out, and a radius from 5 to 250 miles. Flipsentry checks the marketplaces on a schedule and sends matching listings to its app. Its site shows a live feed of finds, mostly used cars and iPhones, each with an estimated value next to the asking price.

What comes with it, per its own site:

• Four marketplaces on every plan. Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist and Kijiji, per its pricing table. The home page and footer add Gumtree.
• Search slots by speed. Each plan gives you a set number of searches, and each search gets a fixed check interval: 1, 3, 5 or 9 minutes. The faster slots are the expensive ones.
• Car price estimates. Hunter adds a "basic car price calculation" and Master an "enhanced" one, showing a listing against an estimated value.
• Multiple locations. You can cover more than one area, and the bigger plans add "smart population based search."
• Apps. iPhone and Android, plus a web sign-up. The App Store lists the developer as Quantra Tech, and the listing says it's for "resellers, car flippers, furniture and electronics dealers, collectors."

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

What Flipsentry costs

Read from flipsentry.com/pricing, November 9, 2026 (unchanged from October 26):

One-minute checks: none on Starter, one search on Hunter, three on Master. The rest of each plan's searches are checked every 3, 5 or 9 minutes: Starter has 3 at 5 minutes and 4 at 9; Hunter 5 at 3, 5 at 5 and 4 at 9; Master 7 at 3, 6 at 5 and 6 at 9.

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

What users say

The App Store listing shows 4.7 out of 5 from 14 ratings, read November 9, 2026. The written reviews there praise how quickly alerts arrive and say the developer answered questions directly. One mentions that other reviewers have brought up alert limits. Fourteen ratings is a small sample, so read them for what they are.

Careful when you search the name: "Flip System" is an unrelated real-estate coaching company, and its reviews are not about this app.

Who Flipsentry is built for

Resellers, by 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." If you buy to resell every day, want one-minute checks on a couple of searches, and want a car value estimate on each listing, that's who the plans are drawn around.

Things to know before you sign up

• $34.99 is the floor. Seven searches for $34.99 a month is priced like business software, not like an app. Fair if every find pays it back. A lot if you're after one John Deere riding mower.
• Not every search gets the fast check. On Starter, 4 of your 7 searches wait 9 minutes between checks. The one-minute slot starts on the $99.99 plan.
• Car tools on the higher plans. The price estimates come with Hunter and Master. Starter doesn't list one.
• Login not stated. Its site doesn't say how it reads Facebook Marketplace or whether it needs your account. Worth asking before you sign up.
• Weekly billing on the top plan. $49.99 a week adds up faster than it looks.

What everyone else uses

Most people who check Marketplace every day, whether flipping is your side thing, your whole job, or not the point at all, want the same thing: their phone buzzes when the right listing goes up, on whichever site the seller picked.

Deal Scanner watches Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp and Craigslist from one search, from our servers, around the clock with the app closed, 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 drops most accessories and lookalikes, so a PS5 search doesn't fill up with controllers and empty boxes. Every alert shows when we found the listing and carries a Deal Score: how far under the typical price near you it sits, like "46% below typical." That works for a Milwaukee M18 drill or a brown leather sectional, not just cars. When a listing you were alerted about gets cheaper, 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 is twelve searches for $19.99 a month, still under Flipsentry Starter. Waiting on one snowblower? Pay for the month you're looking. Cancel when you've got it. $3.99 a month, cancel anytime in your phone's subscription settings.

Other options are on Flipsentry alternatives, and every app we track is on Best Facebook Marketplace alert apps, compared. For the other two marketplaces on their own, see Craigslist alerts and OfferUp alerts, and for Facebook's built-in option, Facebook Marketplace alerts.
