Different tools for different flippers
Swoopa is built around vehicles. Its marketing, onboarding and higher plans are aimed at people who flip cars, where a single good find can be worth thousands and a $200 monthly plan pays for itself.
Dibs is built for the much larger group who flip or hunt everyday items: office chairs, consoles, camera gear, bikes, tools, furniture. The margins are smaller, so the price has to be too.

Pricing you can see before signing up
Swoopa's site leads with “Try for $0.00”, and the plan prices appear later in sign-up. At the time of writing, Go is $64.99 a month and covers Facebook Marketplace only; Turbo is $199.99 a month.
Dibs lists its prices on the home page: Free with 2 watchlists, Pro at $12 a month and Power at $29 a month. Every account starts with 7 days of Pro and no card, and drops to Free afterwards rather than charging you.
Setup in about a minute
Swoopa's onboarding is a 9-step quiz before you see results. That's reasonable for a specialised car tool, but it's a lot if you just want to know when a cheap standing desk turns up.
In Dibs, a watchlist is one short form: what you want, your max price, where, and how far. You can refine filters later, and alerts start straight away.
- Type the item and a max price
- Pick a city and distance
- Choose push, email or Discord (Power)
Canada-first, with Kijiji included
In Canada, a big share of second-hand deals is on Kijiji, not just Facebook. Dibs watches Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace and eBay on every plan, including Free, in Canada and the US.
Each alert shows the resale value from sold prices, a scam flag when something looks off and how long after posting we caught it. For resellers there's profit after eBay fees and a flip tracker. You can check current alert speeds on the status page.
Dibs vs Swoopa: questions
Is Dibs a good Swoopa alternative?
For furniture, electronics, tools, bikes, gaming and other everyday items on Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji and eBay, yes, and it costs a fraction of Swoopa's plans. If you flip cars as a business and want tooling built around vehicles, Swoopa is designed for that.
Can I use Dibs for cars?
Yes. A watchlist works for any search, including vehicles, with a max price, distance and words to exclude. Dibs doesn't have car-specific tools like VIN or mileage filters, so serious car flippers may want something more specialised.
How much does Dibs cost compared with Swoopa?
Dibs has a Free plan, Pro at $12 a month and Power at $29 a month (USD). At the time of writing, Swoopa's Go plan is $64.99 a month for Facebook only and Turbo is $199.99 a month.
