Spottable vs Flipify
Flipify tells you something exists.
Spottable tells you if it's worth buying and helps you close the deal.
Updated February 2026
TL;DR
Flipify's $5/month plan has 10-minute search intervals - enough time for every good deal to be snatched by someone else. Spottable starts at $4.99/month with AI deal analyses that tell you market value, detect fraud, and generate first messages. No AI features, no fraud detection, no message generation on Flipify at any price.
The Real Difference
What Flipify Does
"New listing matches your search" (10 minutes ago)
By the time you see it, research the price, check if the seller is legit, and figure out what to say... it's gone.
What Spottable Does
"Great deal! 35% below market. Seller verified. Tap to send message."
AI does the analysis instantly. You just tap and go.

Why 10 Minutes Is Too Slow
Popular underpriced listings on Facebook Marketplace attract dozens of messages within the first few minutes of going live. Flipify's $5 plan checks every 10 minutes — enough time for sellers to have already responded to multiple buyers. Their Discord community is great for strategy tips, but no amount of tips helps when someone else messaged the seller first.
Spottable's Pro plan delivers real-time alerts the moment listings go live, plus AI analysis so you know instantly whether a deal is worth pursuing.

Why This Matters
AI Deal Scoring
Flipify can't tell you if a $400 couch is a steal or overpriced - you have to research that yourself. Spottable's AI instantly compares the listing to similar items in your area and shows you: "This is 35% below market value" or "This is priced about average." Know instantly which listings deserve your attention.
Fraud Detection
Flipify sends you every matching listing - including scams. Spottable flags suspicious listings before you waste time: stock photos, prices too good to be true, new accounts selling expensive items, known scam patterns. We cross-reference against a database of reported scammers and dodgy listing patterns.
First Message Generator
With Flipify, you see a listing and then spend 5 minutes figuring out what to say - while someone else is already messaging the seller. Spottable generates a personalized first message instantly. One tap to copy and send. We even generate strategic lowball offers when the data supports it.
Authenticity Verification
Buying designer bags, watches, or sneakers? Flipify can't help you verify authenticity. Spottable generates specific questions to ask sellers: "Can you show the date code inside the bag?" or "Can you photograph the movement serial number?" Know exactly what to look for before you meet up.
Community vs. Intelligence
Flipify has a great Discord community for sharing tips and strategies. That's valuable for learning. But when a great deal drops, community tips won't help you - speed and information will. Spottable gives you the intelligence to act fast and act smart.
The Bottom Line
Choose Flipify if you want the absolute cheapest option and don't mind 10-minute delays, manual price research, and figuring out what to say to sellers yourself. Their Discord community is genuinely useful for learning.
Choose Spottable if you want to actually win deals. Our AI tells you which listings are underpriced, warns you about scams, and gives you ready-to-send messages. The extra $5/month pays for itself the first time you land a deal someone else missed.
What Our Users Say
"Switched from Flipify after missing three good deals in one week. With Spottable, I actually get to listings while they're still available - and I know instantly if they're worth pursuing."
- Marcus T., Reseller
"The fraud detection alone is worth it. Spottable flagged a 'too good to be true' MacBook that turned out to be a scam. Saved me a 45-minute drive and potential robbery."
- Jennifer K., Deal Hunter
"I used to spend 10 minutes researching every listing to see if the price was fair. Now Spottable just tells me. I've 3x'd my flipping volume because I'm not wasting time on overpriced junk."
- David R., Part-time Flipper
