CarSnipe is a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox that monitors Facebook Marketplace for used car listings matching your exact criteria — make, model, year range, price ceiling, maximum mileage, and location radius — and delivers instant Telegram alerts to your phone the moment a matching vehicle is posted. According to iSeeCars research, popular used car models can sell within days of being listed — making speed critical for buyers. Unlike Facebook's built-in saved search notifications, which are delayed by hours and frequently fail to fire at all, CarSnipe checks Marketplace every 3 minutes on the Pro plan and every 15 minutes on Basic, running quietly in the background while your browser is open. Your Facebook credentials are never sent to CarSnipe's servers — the extension reads only public Marketplace listing data. The Basic plan starts at $9.99 per month, Pro at $24.99 per month, and every new user gets a 7-day free trial with full Pro access and no credit card required.

Real Buyers. Real Wins.

CarSnipe users consistently beat the competition to the best deals

★★★★★

"Set up a search for a used Tacoma on Friday night. By Saturday morning, CarSnipe had already sent me 3 alerts. I drove to see one that afternoon and bought it on the spot — $2,800 below what the same truck was listed for on every other platform."

Mike R. Denver, CO • 2018 Tacoma
★★★★★

"I manually searched Facebook Marketplace every single day for two months looking for a family SUV. Within 48 hours of setting up CarSnipe, I got an alert on a low-mileage Highlander at a price I couldn't believe. I was first to message, and it was mine by the end of the day."

Sarah K. Austin, TX • 2020 Highlander
★★★★★

"The price drop alert feature alone is worth the Pro subscription. I had a CR-V bookmarked and CarSnipe pinged me at 11 PM when the seller dropped it $1,400. I offered immediately, paid the next morning. Saved over $4,000 compared to dealer pricing."

James T. Chicago, IL • 2019 Honda CR-V

Common Questions

Is there a free trial?

Yes! CarSnipe offers a 7-day free trial with full Pro access. No credit card required. Just open @CarSnipeBot on Telegram, send /start, and you'll be set up in under two minutes.

Pro plan users receive alerts within approximately 3 minutes of a new listing going live. Basic plan users receive alerts within 15 minutes. In most markets, even 15 minutes is fast enough to be among the first few buyers — the key is that you're alerted immediately without having to check manually.

Basic ($9.99/month) gives you up to 2 searches with 15-minute check intervals — great if you're looking for one specific vehicle. Pro ($24.99/month) gives you unlimited searches, 3-minute intervals (5x faster), price drop alerts, and priority support. If you're serious about finding the best deal, Pro pays for itself with a single purchase.

Your Facebook credentials are stored locally on your computer only, in encrypted form. They are never transmitted to CarSnipe's servers. The agent uses a real browser window to simulate normal Facebook browsing — exactly like you would if you opened Facebook yourself.

Windows 10 or Windows 11, at least 4 GB RAM, and an internet connection. The agent is lightweight and runs quietly in the system tray. Most users barely notice it's running. Your computer needs to be on for monitoring to work — though it can be sleeping (we recommend keeping it awake for continuous monitoring).

Yes. Cancel anytime directly from Telegram using the /billing command, which opens the Stripe self-service portal. No cancellation fees, no long-term commitments. Your monitoring stays active until the end of your current billing period.

CarSnipe monitors all vehicle types available on Facebook Marketplace: cars, SUVs, trucks, vans, and more. You can run separate search profiles for different vehicle types at the same time.

CarSnipe works anywhere Facebook Marketplace has a vehicles category, and alerts support local currency (USD, CAD, EUR, CHF, GBP, AUD, etc.) and metric distances where applicable. However, Facebook itself serves fresher listings in larger markets (US, Canada, UK, Australia). In smaller markets like Switzerland, Austria, or parts of Europe, Facebook's own "newest first" sort often returns listings that are several days old — this is a limitation on Facebook's side that no third-party tool can bypass, since we use the same API Facebook's own website uses. If you're in a smaller market, we recommend starting the free trial first to see how fresh the listings are for your specific region before subscribing.

Stop Checking. Start Getting Alerted.

The next great deal on Facebook Marketplace will be gone in minutes. CarSnipe makes sure you know about it first.
