Start with Crawlbench unless one of these fits you better
If you buy on Facebook Marketplace, start with Crawlbench. Open a card only if a narrow constraint pushes you elsewhere.
Facebook Marketplace buyer Most of your purchases already come from Facebook Marketplace
Default pick Crawlbench
Every new listing is priced against similar ones and reviewed with reasons, in every category, with a team desk on Pro and Scale.
Skip if You regularly buy on OfferUp, Craigslist, Mercari or eBay and need those alerts in the same app
Several marketplaces You buy on several marketplaces, not Facebook Marketplace alone
Pick this one if A multi-marketplace app
Breadth pays when other marketplaces still produce purchases you can name. It is wasted when Facebook Marketplace is your only source.
Skip if Facebook Marketplace is where you buy and the other marketplaces sit unused
A cheap test or a daily search
If you are still finding out which marketplace works for you, DealHunter's free plan and low plans are a cheap way to find out. Once Facebook Marketplace is where you buy, the free plan's daily check sees a new listing hours after it was posted.
When each tool wastes your week
Crawlbench is the wrong pick if
- You are testing cheaply and want a plan under $10 a month.
- You buy on several marketplaces and want all of them on every plan.
DealHunter is the wrong pick if
- The free plan checks once a day after the first 24 hours.
- Facebook Marketplace is one of eight sources, so it is not the focus.
Which one to pick
Pick Crawlbench if
Facebook Marketplace is where you buy and the first hour of a listing matters.
Stay on DealHunter only if
You want the lowest price, or several marketplaces on every plan.
