Workflow
Set it once. Work the matches. Bank the profit.
Put in your items and a few rules. Outpost Alerts handles the watching.
Review matches
Fresh listings arrive on your phone and dashboard with enough detail to decide in seconds. Open it, track it, mark it bought, or let it go.
Move it forward
Tracked finds become bought items, bought items become inventory, and sold items become a running record of what you actually earned.
Features
Built around the way resellers actually work.
No noisy technical console. Just watchlists, matches, decisions, and a clear record of what happened to every listing.
Watchlists without the noise
Set the keywords, price range, location and search radius for each item you flip. Add words to include and words to exclude so broken, parts-only, and too-far listings never reach you.
Every fresh match in one feed
New Marketplace listings land in a single feed with the price, the city, how old the listing is, and which watchlist caught it. Open, track, mark bought, or ignore in one tap.
Always on, on every device
Outpost Alerts runs in the cloud and keeps watching around the clock. Check matches in the web app or the iPhone app wherever you are, and run hot watchlists as fast as every minute.
A pipeline, not a pile of tabs
Save the listings worth chasing, mark the ones you buy, and clear the rest. Every deal has a place, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Know exactly what you made
Move bought items into inventory, mark them sold, and watch your paid totals, revenue, and real profit add up. No spreadsheet required.
It works on your schedule
Set quiet hours, pause searches when you are away, and choose how you hear about matches with sound or Discord alerts. Run the whole app in light or dark mode.
At a glance
Outpost Alerts in eight facts.
The short version, for anyone comparing Facebook Marketplace alert tools.
- What it is
- A service that watches Facebook Marketplace for new listings matching your keywords, price range and location, and sends them to an iPhone app, a web dashboard or Discord.
- How fast
- Your fastest watchlist is checked every minute on Pro, every 3 minutes on Standard and every 30 minutes on Basic. Other watchlists run every 3 minutes or slower on Pro, and every 5 minutes or slower on Standard.
- Plans
- Basic US$14.99 a month (1 watchlist), Standard US$39 (5 watchlists), Pro US$79 (10 watchlists). Yearly billing saves 20%. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial, and you can cancel any time.
- Facebook login
- Not needed. Outpost searches Marketplace from its own servers. You message sellers in Facebook as usual.
- Where it works
- Anywhere Facebook Marketplace runs. Each watchlist covers one location and a 5-500 km (3-310 mile) radius, so several cities means several watchlists.
- Filtering
- Include and exclude words on every watchlist, plus a relevance check that drops listings matching your keywords that are not the item. In our data that was 38.6% of keyword matches (30,777 listings, August 2026).
- Apps
- iPhone app with push notifications (also runs on iPad), plus the web app in any browser, including Android phones.
- Coverage
- Facebook Marketplace only. Not affiliated with Meta or Facebook.

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need to keep my computer on?
No. Outpost Alerts runs in the cloud and watches around the clock. Matches come to the web app, the iPhone app and Discord, so there is nothing to leave open and nothing to keep awake.
Is there an app?
Yes. Outpost Alerts has an iPhone app on the App Store, which also runs on iPad, and new matches arrive as push notifications. The web app works in any browser, including on Android phones. Get it on the App Store.
Do I need to log in to Facebook?
No. Outpost Alerts searches Facebook Marketplace from its own servers, so it never asks for your Facebook login. You still message sellers through Facebook as usual.
How fast are the alerts?
It depends on your plan. Your fastest watchlist is checked every minute on Pro, every 3 minutes on Standard and every 30 minutes on Basic. Matches arrive as push notifications in the iPhone app, in the web dashboard and, if you add a webhook, in Discord.
Where does it work?
Anywhere Facebook Marketplace runs. Each watchlist watches one location with a search radius of 5 to 500 km (3 to 310 miles), so several cities means several watchlists.
Does it buy anything for me?
No. Outpost Alerts helps you discover, review, and organise opportunities. You decide which listings to open, track, buy, ignore, or sell.
What can I track?
Anything listed locally. People point their watchlists at the high-margin stuff like power tools, graphics cards, designer furniture, e-bikes, cameras and lenses, and drones, but it works just as well for consoles, collectibles, appliances, or whatever you flip.
How much does it cost?
Basic is US$14.99 a month, Standard US$39 and Pro US$79, or 20% less billed yearly. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial. In the iPhone app, prices are set by the App Store and shown in your local currency.
Which marketplaces does it cover?
Facebook Marketplace only. It does not watch Gumtree, Craigslist, eBay or OfferUp.
What happens after the free trial?
Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial. All of them include watchlists, alerts, and the full tracking workflow.
Can I track my profit?
Yes. The bought, inventory, and sold views show paid prices, sale totals, units available, revenue, and realised profit.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes, anytime. There is no lock-in. Your plan renews until you cancel, and you keep access through the end of the period you already paid for.
Stop missing profitable Marketplace listings.
Create your watchlists, catch fresh opportunities first, and run a cleaner resale workflow from the first alert to the final flip. Outpost Alerts does the watching while you get on with your day.
