Gumtree alerts (UK)
The faster way to get Gumtree alerts.
JDMarket is a Gumtree alert app for UK buyers. Tell it what you’re hunting and your town, and it watches the searches you choose around the clock — resolving your nearest of 261 UK Gumtree local areas automatically, sending alerts after a scheduled check finds a match on Pro and Premium plans, and scoring each new ad 1–5 with AI against your plain-language rules before sending it to Telegram and native push. Alerts fire only for ads genuinely posted in the last ~24 hours — posted age is checked on the ad’s own detail page, so re-bumped old listings stay silent — and a page-2 catch-up sweep picks up bursts of new ads between checks. Gumtree is included on every app plan for UK accounts, alongside Facebook Marketplace, from $30/mo. One plain limit: we cover Gumtree UK only, not Gumtree Australia.
Check intervals and marketplace visibility
Basic schedules 2 watches every 5 minutes and 8 every 10 minutes. Pro schedules 2 every minute and 8 every 5 minutes. Premium schedules all 10 every minute. Marketplace visibility, filtering, processing, retries, daily listing-check caps and notification delivery can add delay; no publication-to-alert time is guaranteed.
Only genuinely new ads — re-bumps stay silent
Sellers renew and bump old ads to float them back to the top of the results. JDMarket reads the posted age on each ad’s own detail page and only alerts on ads genuinely posted in the last ~24 hours. A new watch’s first check sets a quiet baseline instead of flooding you with everything already listed, and a page-2 catch-up sweep makes sure a burst of new ads between checks doesn’t slip past the first page.
Type your town — we find your Gumtree area
Gumtree splits the UK into local areas; JDMarket covers all 261 of them. You just type your town — accent- and spelling-tolerant matching plus a nearest-area fallback means a village or suburb resolves to the right Gumtree area automatically. The same one-city setup drives every marketplace you use: a Facebook Marketplace watch adds a distance ring (1–500 km — a Facebook-only filter; classifieds sources like Gumtree use area selection instead).
Gumtree car alerts, filtered by AI
A vehicle watch adds year range, mileage cap, transmission, fuel type, and a different budget per model-year (2018–2020 under one cap, 2021+ under a higher one). These are JDMarket filters, not Gumtree search options: our AI reads each ad’s details and scores it 1–5 against your rules, and a look-alike gate keeps a “Ford Fiesta” watch from firing on Focuses. That’s the difference between an alert feed you skim and one you act on.

Questions
Does Gumtree send its own notifications for saved searches?
Yes — Gumtree offers free alert emails and app notifications, and its UK help pages describe how to switch them off per alert (checked 2026-07-02). We found no published cadence for those alerts, so we won’t characterize their speed. JDMarket is for buyers who want more than an inbox: alerts after a scheduled check finds a match on Pro and Premium plans, a 1–5 AI score on every ad, re-bump filtering, and delivery to Telegram and native push.
How fast are JDMarket’s Gumtree alerts?
Basic schedules 2 watches every 5 minutes and 8 every 10 minutes. Pro schedules 2 every minute and 8 every 5 minutes. Premium schedules all 10 every minute. Marketplace visibility, filtering, processing, retries, daily listing-check caps and notification delivery can add delay; no publication-to-alert time is guaranteed.
Does JDMarket cover Gumtree Australia?
No — plainly: JDMarket covers Gumtree UK only, across all 261 UK local areas. Marketplace availability follows your account country: UK accounts get Gumtree plus Facebook Marketplace, US accounts get Craigslist and OfferUp, Canadian accounts get Kijiji — all included on every app plan.
Can I set up Gumtree car alerts?
Yes. A vehicle watch adds year range, mileage cap, transmission, fuel type, and per-model-year budgets, and our AI checks each ad’s details against those rules — these are JDMarket filters applied on top of Gumtree, not Gumtree’s own search options. Only ads genuinely posted in the last ~24 hours trigger alerts, so re-listed cars don’t ping you again.
How much does it cost, and is there a free trial?
Gumtree watches are included on every app plan for UK accounts, and every plan carries 10 active watches. Basic is $30/mo (surfaces matches within minutes) and starts with a 3-day free trial — card on file, auto-renews after the trial, cancel anytime. Pro is $45/mo (2 watches scheduled every minute — after a scheduled check finds a match — the other 8 within minutes) and Premium is $80/mo (all 10 watches scheduled every minute — after a scheduled check finds a match); both are card-upfront with no trial.
