Frequently Asked Questions

Classifindr is a cloud-based marketplace monitoring service that checks Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree (Australia and UK), Craigslist, Trade Me, Kijiji, and OfferUp for new listings matching your search criteria and sends alerts to your chosen notification channels. Start with the AI wizard or manual editor, choose one platform or Multi, fill in keywords, a picked location suggestion, radius, price range, and interval, then Classifindr watches on your selected schedule.

Browser extensions and manual refreshing usually depend on you being at the right computer with the right tab open. Classifindr runs scheduled checks in the cloud, monitors multiple searches across multiple marketplaces in parallel, and sends alerts to Discord, Telegram, Email, Web Push, or our iOS and Android apps when a check finds a match.

You can monitor anything sellers list on Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree (AU or UK), Craigslist, Trade Me, Kijiji, or OfferUp: cars and motorcycles, electronics, furniture, tools, collectibles, sporting goods, real estate, tickets, and more. Define the keywords, price range, and location, and Classifindr will match every new listing against them.

Yes. Every new subscription includes a 7-day free trial with 10 units to test the platform. Your payment method is collected at checkout but you are not charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged.

No. Classifindr is a web platform you use entirely from your browser, with no install or extension required. Alerts are delivered through Discord, Telegram, Email, or Web Push so you receive them on whatever device you already use. If you prefer a native experience, you can also download the Classifindr app for iOS or Android to receive push notifications directly on your phone.

The Classifindr app is free on the App Store and Google Play. Search for "Classifindr" in either store, or visit our mobile page for direct links. Sign in with the same account you use on the web. The app supports passkeys, Sign in with Apple, Google, and email magic-link.

Yes. The apps use Apple Push Notification service on iOS and Firebase Cloud Messaging on Android, the standard systems for native app notifications. After Classifindr finds a match, mobile push can reach your phone even when the app is in the background or closed.

Classifindr supports Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree Australia, Gumtree UK, Craigslist (North America), Trade Me (New Zealand), Kijiji (Canada), and OfferUp (United States). Standard searches can target one platform or a Multi-platform set when the same criteria make sense across marketplaces. Category, condition, and Custom URL setup are single-platform choices.

Yes. Classifindr is available globally to anyone who wants to monitor the supported marketplaces. Each marketplace operates in its own regions (for example, Gumtree AU on gumtree.com.au and Trade Me in New Zealand). Set the location by picking an autocomplete suggestion, choose a radius for standard searches, and run as many searches in parallel as your unit balance allows.

Classifindr sends alerts shortly after finding a new matching listing on a scheduled check. The fastest tier checks every minute. End-to-end speed depends on how recently the listing was posted relative to your next check, so shorter intervals can catch listings sooner.

You choose a check interval per search: every 1 minute, every 10 minutes, or every 60 minutes. The 1 minute tier is for time-sensitive hunts where being first matters. The 10 and 60 minute tiers stretch your units across more searches when speed is less critical. You can mix and match intervals across your searches so high-priority hunts run faster than the rest.

Classifindr sends alerts through Discord, Telegram, Email, Web Push, and mobile push notifications via our iOS and Android apps. You can connect multiple channels per search and route different searches to different channels, so high-priority finds reach your phone while lower-priority ones go to a Discord server or inbox.

Classifindr applies three layers of filtering to every search so less noise reaches your phone. Your search parameters (keywords, picked location, radius, price, and sometimes category or condition) narrow the field at the platform level. A title-rule engine then runs Require, Exclude, and Override rules on each fetched listing. AI relevance catches mismatches keywords cannot see, like "iPhone case" when you want a phone. A good starting strategy is to keep keywords broad, add only obvious title rules, then tune after you see real alerts.

Every search shows current health information in your dashboard, so you can see when a search stops matching anything. If a search has returned zero results for several checks in a row, that is your cue to loosen an exclude rule, broaden a keyword, or increase your price ceiling. Because Classifindr lets you adjust filters without rebuilding the search, tuning is a continuous workflow, not a one-time setup. The goal is an alert stream that stays meaningful while reducing silent gaps.

Classifindr gives you several layers to keep alerts signal-rich. You set keyword rules per search to require or exclude specific terms (for example, require "leather" and exclude "replica"). AI filtering scores each listing's title and thumbnail against your search description, so you only see listings that genuinely match what you are looking for. Combine rules and AI relevance to cut through spam without missing real finds.

Yes, when the copied marketplace URL contains every filter you set. Build the search directly on the marketplace website with its native filters, confirm the address bar URL still carries those filters, choose the matching single platform in Classifindr, and paste it in Custom URL mode. Standard keyword, location, radius, price, category, and condition fields are replaced by the URL, then you choose the interval, optional refinements exposed by the editor, and notification channels.

Yes. Classifindr lets you connect multiple Discord, Telegram, Email, Web Push, and mobile push channels and assign each search to whichever channels you want. A common setup is to send your highest-priority search to Telegram or mobile push, and route lower-priority searches to a Discord server or an email inbox so they do not interrupt you.

Classifindr uses unit-based pricing instead of fixed plans. Every active search reserves a few units based on the check interval you choose and how many marketplaces it watches. A 60 minute search costs 1 unit, a 10 minute search costs 3, a 1 minute search costs 7, and each unit is $1.60 a month or $0.50 a week. Monthly checkout starts at 3 units ($4.80/month), and weekly checkout starts at 5 units ($2.50/week). Pause or deactivate a search and its units immediately return to your balance, ready to fund a different search. Large packs also earn bonus units at no extra cost. See the pricing page for full plan details.

Yes. Classifindr has no long-term contracts. You can cancel at any time from your account settings, your searches remain active until the end of your current billing period, and your search configuration is preserved if you ever want to resubscribe.

Yes. Classifindr encrypts your data in transit and at rest, isolates your account data from other tenants, and never sells or shares your personal data. Sign-in supports passkeys for phishing-resistant authentication, and your billing details are handled by our payment provider so we never store your card. See the security page for full details.

No. Classifindr never asks for or stores your Facebook, Gumtree AU, Gumtree UK, Craigslist, Trade Me, Kijiji, or OfferUp login credentials. Classifindr only reads publicly visible listings, and your marketplace accounts are never involved or at risk.
