Facebook Marketplace alerts that actually beat the refresh race
Native Facebook saved searches are slow and noisy. Botifex watches your keywords and buy price, pings you by email or SMS, and keeps the same hunt running on Craigslist, eBay, OfferUp, and more.
Why Facebook’s own alerts lose deals
Facebook Marketplace rewards whoever messages first. Built-in notifications often arrive after the listing is gone, bury matches in a noisy feed, and never tell you what the same item sold for on eBay. Serious flippers need keyword + price filters, a fast alert channel, and a way to check margin before they drive.
What Botifex watches on Facebook Marketplace
Create a hunt profile with keywords, max buy price, and location filters. Pro and Ultra refresh about every five minutes. When a match hits, you get a dashboard alert plus optional email or SMS — with a Deal Score and sold-comp context so you know if the flip is worth it.
Not only Facebook
The same workspace covers Craigslist, eBay, OfferUp, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, and Whatnot. Most “Facebook Marketplace alerts” apps stop at one site. Botifex is built for multi-marketplace sourcing and the rest of the flip after you buy.
FAQ
Is Botifex a Facebook Marketplace alerts app?
Yes. Facebook Marketplace is a first-class hunt source. Botifex also covers seven other marketplaces and includes comps, listing tools, and inventory — so it is reselling software, not an alerts-only gadget.
Can I get SMS alerts for new Facebook listings?
Yes on Pro and Ultra. Free and Basic include a 7-day Pro trial so you can test SMS and 5-minute refresh before you pay.
How is this different from Marketplace Alerts or Flipify?
Those apps focus on pings for one or a few local apps. Botifex adds Deal Score, eBay sold comps, inventory, and eight-marketplace coverage in one login. Compare options on our marketplace alert tools guide.
