Everything Zoopy does, and which plan does it
Zoopy watches Facebook Marketplace, and more marketplaces in some countries, and sends a push when a new listing matches your hunt. Here is all of it, in plain words.
Hunts
Tell Zoopy exactly what you want
A hunt is one saved search that Zoopy keeps running for you. Make it as broad or as picky as you like.
-
Car hunts
All plansPick one or more makes and models, a year range, a kilometre or mile range and gearbox.
-
iPhone hunts
All plansChoose the models you want and set the most you would pay for each one.
-
Anything else
All plansType keywords for furniture, tools, bikes, consoles, cameras or anything a marketplace sells.
-
Keyword rules
All plansUse AND, OR and NOT to say what must, may and must not be in a listing.
-
Price range
All plansSet a minimum and a maximum so you only hear about listings you would buy.
Alerts
Alerts you can act on from the lock screen
Zoopy opens each new listing and reads all of it before it alerts you. The push carries what you need to decide.
-
The details that matter
All plansPrice, mileage, gearbox and fuel for cars. The suburb or town and how far away it is.
-
Reads the whole listing
All plansFilters and hidden words check the description, not just the title.
-
Your sound, your hours
All plansPick an alert sound or none, and set quiet hours for the night.
-
Open it your way
All plansChoose whether tapping an alert opens the listing in Zoopy or straight on its own marketplace.
-
Max alerts go first
MaxWhen many alerts go out at once, Max members are sent first.
Filters
Less junk, more of what you want
Marketplaces are full of dealers, wrecks and listings that are not what they seem. Zoopy helps you skip them.
-
Hide dealer, salvage and damaged listings
All plansKeep them out of your alerts. They stay in your feed if you want a look.
-
Junk words hidden from the start
All plansNew car hunts already hide words like "for parts" and "wrecking". Add your own.
-
Tags from the listing's own words
Pro and MaxDealer, salvage, damaged, urgent, negotiable and firm, shown on each listing.
-
Scam wording warning
Pro and MaxA flag when a listing asks for gift cards, a deposit before viewing or a friends-and-family transfer. A hint, not a verdict.
Anywhere
Any place on the map, any radius
Facebook Marketplace hunts work wherever Facebook shows its listings without a login. Most of our testing so far has been in Australia.
-
Any suburb, town or city
All plansSearch by name and pick the spot. No fixed list of cities.
-
Up to 500 km around it
All plansPick a radius from 5 to 500 km (3 to 300 miles). One hunt covers the circle.
-
Extra areas
All plansAdd another area to a hunt, for example your city and your parents' town. Each area uses one hunt.
-
Your units, their currency
All plansKilometres or miles, and every price in the listing's own currency.
After the alert
Everything you need to decide
Zoopy does not buy or message for you. It gives you what you need to move fast and choose well.
-
Message starters
All plansReady-to-edit messages to check it is available, make an offer or arrange a pickup. You send them.
-
Price history and similar listings
All plansSee if the price has moved, and what else your hunt has caught near that price.
-
Price-drop alerts
All plansHear when a listing your hunts caught drops by 3% or more. For everything, or only what you saved.
-
Watch what you saved
MaxGet told when a saved listing goes pending, sells or comes back on sale.
-
See what sold
MaxFilter your catches to the ones that sold or went pending after Zoopy found them.
Marketplaces
More than Facebook, in one hunt
Facebook Marketplace is on every plan. On Pro and Max, a hunt can also watch the other marketplaces of its own country. Everywhere else, including the United States, a hunt watches Facebook Marketplace only.
-
Facebook Marketplace
All plansPublic listings, wherever Facebook shows them without a login.
-

-
Gumtree UK
Pro and MaxClassifieds in the UK.
Paces
How often each hunt is checked
Pick a pace per hunt. Your plan sets how many hunts can run at each one.
Numbers are how many hunts each plan can run at that pace. Paces are targets: a busy moment can push a check a little later, and the outer areas of a very wide hunt are checked less often than its centre.
Straight talk
What Zoopy can't do
- It can't beat Facebook's own delay. On Facebook Marketplace, new listings stay out of public search for about six to seven minutes after posting, for everyone. Zoopy reaches you after that.
- It won't catch every listing. Zoopy sees what each marketplace shows in public search. Paces are targets, and very wide hunts check their outer areas less often.
- Filters are not perfect. Tags and hidden words read the listing's own words, so a seller who hides a problem can slip through. Always check the listing and the item yourself.
- It doesn't message or buy for you. You contact sellers yourself, on the listing's own marketplace.
- Price labels are rare for now. Deal labels and value ranges only appear when Zoopy has enough close comparisons, which for now is a small share of listings. They use asking prices, not sale prices.
- Push alerts need the phone app. Alerts reach your lock screen through the Zoopy app, which is in private beta on iPhone, with Android next.
