Craigslist alerts for all 413 US metros.

Craigslist is organized into hundreds of separate metro sites, and a search there is scoped to one site at a time. JDMarket covers all 413 US metros: type your city once and it resolves your nearest Craigslist metro automatically — you can override it if you’d rather watch a different one. Craigslist watches are available to US accounts on every app plan; Basic, Pro, and Premium all include them alongside Facebook Marketplace at no extra charge. The $29.99/mo Desktop app is a separate product that watches Facebook only.

Facebook Marketplace holds new listings in review for several minutes before anyone can see them, a delay that applies to every alert tool equally. Craigslist has no such approval step: a new ad is visible as soon as it’s posted. That makes how fast your tool alerts the deciding factor. JDMarket’s Pro tier ($45/mo) makes 2 of your 10 watches instant — the moment an ad goes live — with the other 8 within minutes; Premium ($80/mo) makes all 10 instant; Basic ($30/mo) surfaces matches within minutes. When a check finds a match, the alert goes out usually about a second after we detect the listing.

Craigslist sellers renew and repost old ads constantly, and Craigslist’s own saved-search emails include renewed, reposted, and edited posts (per craigslist.org help, verified July 2026). JDMarket takes the opposite stance: a Craigslist alert only fires when the ad’s original post date is within roughly the last 24 hours, so a stale listing bumped back to the top never rings your phone. On top of the freshness rule, AI scores each listing 1–5 against your plain-language description — price, condition words, whatever you care about — and a make/model gate drops look-alikes.

You don’t assemble a wall of dropdowns. Tell the JD Assistant what you want — “2015+ Tacoma under $20k near Austin” — and it asks which marketplace to search, suggests your nearest Craigslist metro, and follows up with tappable quick replies for the details (for vehicles: year range, mileage cap, even a different budget per model-year). Alerts go to Telegram, native push, or both, each carrying the photo, price, AI score, and a direct link, and a sent-alerts inbox keeps a searchable history of everything your watches have sent. The iPhone app has been live on the App Store since June 2026, and Android on Google Play.

Connect Telegram once and every Craigslist match arrives as a chat message — no separate Craigslist Telegram bot to build or babysit. Each alert carries the photo, the price, a 1–5 AI score with a one-line reason, and a one-tap link to the listing, alongside native push. Because it lands where you already chat, you can message the seller in seconds — and alerts from your other watches (each watch picks its own marketplace, like Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp for US accounts) arrive in the same Telegram thread.
