Gumtree alerts
Gumtree moves fastest on the things people actually want, and a good ad is gone before the evening. Nobody can sit and refresh the same search all day. A KeenFind alert watches Gumtree for you and tells you when something appears that genuinely matches what you are after.
How it works
An alert is a saved search. Set it up once and it keeps running on its own.
-
Run the search
Type what you are looking for, pick the United Kingdom, and add your postcode if distance matters.
-
Tighten the filters
Price range, radius, words to exclude. This is the difference between an alert worth having and twenty messages a day.
-
Save it as an alert
The first run notifies you of nothing. It records where things stand, so your first message is not half the marketplace at once.
-
Get the new listings
By email, on Telegram, or as a browser notification, whichever suits you. Every message carries a link that switches off that one alert.
Gumtree and the rest at the same time
A KeenFind alert does not only watch Gumtree. The same search covers the other live sources in the UK, and the same item posted in more than one place is shown once. You see what is new, not what you already saw somewhere else.
Sources in the UK
- Gumtree
- eBay
- Vinted
- Facebook Marketplace
What you need for this
Gumtree costs us nothing, so it is not rationed. Search and alerts both work on the free account, with no ads and no app to install. The paid tiers only change how many alerts you can keep and how often they are checked.
Common questions
- How often is it checked?
- That depends on your plan, and the interval is a floor rather than a promise to the minute. The exact figures are under pricing.
- Do I need an app?
- No. All of it runs in the browser, and alerts arrive by email, on Telegram, or as a web notification. That works on an iPhone too.
- Are prices shown in pounds?
- Yes. A UK search is priced in pounds throughout, including the price range you filter on. Nothing is converted from euros.
- Are my searches sold on?
- No. No data is sold, and the site loads no fonts or scripts from third-party CDNs, so your IP address does not reach a company you did not choose.
- Can I watch more than Gumtree?
- Yes. One alert covers every source you leave selected, in the UK and in the other KeenFind markets.
- Is KeenFind part of Gumtree?
- No. KeenFind sells nothing and is owned by none of the marketplaces it searches. Every result links back to the original listing, and that is where you buy.
