Why we built this
Good deals sell in minutes. By the time you've refreshed five different apps, someone else has already messaged the seller. We built List Mantis because we got tired of being the third reply.
The refresh game
Five apps open, thumb bouncing between them. It's a full-time job.
Gone in sixty seconds
The best listings get snapped up in minutes. If you aren't there, you aren't getting it.
Five apps, five logins
Each marketplace has its own quirks, filters, and gotchas. It's exhausting keeping up with them all.
How it works
Three steps. That's it.
Set it up once, then let the mantis keep watch.

- Full MOT history, including advisories and failures
- Recorded mileage over time, spot clockers at a glance

FAQ
Answers to the usual questions.

Which marketplaces are covered?
Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Gumtree, AutoTrader, and Vinted. We're UK-focused: listings outside the UK are filtered out by default.
How fast are the alerts?
Your alert should arrive no later than 3 minutes after a listing goes live, and typically within a minute or two. The exception is eBay, which we check about every 15 minutes because of eBay’s limits on how often apps can search it. Speed is the same on every plan; there's no faster tier to upgrade to. One thing to know about Facebook: it can take 6 to 14 minutes to make a new listing visible to anyone, so a Facebook listing may already show as a few minutes old when your alert arrives. We alert you the moment it appears.
Is there an iPhone app?
Yes. Download List Mantis on the App Store. It has instant push notifications, and if you already use List Mantis on the web, sign in with the same account and your searches and alerts are there.
Is there an Android app?
Yes. Get List Mantis on Google Play. Sign in with the same account you use on the web, and your searches and alerts carry over.
How much will it cost?
Two plans: Standard at £9.99 / month (up to 5 saved searches) and Pro at £24.99 / month (up to 20). Both plans include every feature: push notifications, real-time alerts, vehicle intelligence, all five marketplaces. The only difference is the search count.
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Cancel any time in the trial and you won’t be charged. On the web you pay by card through Stripe; in the iPhone and Android apps, through Apple or Google.
How do I sign up?
Create an account on the web, pick a plan and start your 7-day free trial. It takes a couple of minutes, and you can set up your first search straight away. Already have an account? Sign in here.
