Why Crawlbench never touches your Facebook account

Crawlbench never asks for your Facebook login and never messages sellers. How other Marketplace tools and Meta's Muse use your account, in their own words.

When is the best time to post on Facebook Marketplace?

We found no proof of a best hour. How a new Facebook Marketplace listing reaches buyers, what that means for when you post, and what similar items ask in the US.

Where is it cheaper on Facebook Marketplace? Compare cities

Find which city has the lowest usual asking price for the model you buy, then search those cities with one set of filters. Uses the Markets city comparison, asking prices only.

What's new

Product changes, newest first.

One sentence for each change, with a link to read more.

  1. Opened listings move to a new Seen tab on Home and on each search, so New holds only what nobody on your team has opened yet. Mark as new puts one back.

  2. Clear the rest hides every listing older than 2 days in one move, with one Undo.

  3. Busy teams open Home on Today's best: the best-priced new listings first, grouped by how good the price is.

  4. Analyze with AI on a search: say what's wrong in your own words and get up to 3 changes, each with how many listings it adds or leaves out and real listings to show it. Ask for deals and it suggests price check changes.

  5. Choose how often email and Telegram alerts reach you (Instant, every 15 minutes, every hour or once a day at 08:00), for your account or one search, and set quiet hours when nothing is sent. Slack and Discord still post at once.
