Managed or desktop: which alerts plan fits?
JDMarket gives you a choice most alert tools don't: run it fully managed in the cloud, or as a lightweight app on your own computer. Both watch Facebook Marketplace, score listings 1–5 with AI, and deliver matches to Telegram and native push — they differ in where the searching runs and whether they can message sellers for you.
The short answer
- Mobile App ($45/mo): fully managed, nothing to install, no Facebook login, runs 24/7 with every device off — but can't message sellers. 7 watches (2 every-minute).
- Desktop App Alerts ($29.99/mo): a small app on Windows/macOS/Linux that uses your own Facebook session to message sellers first — but your computer must stay on. 10 watches, all every-minute.
- Both score every listing 1–5 with AI, support per-model price bands, allow 2,500 listing-checks/day, and start with a 3-day free trial.
- Pick managed for convenience and privacy; pick desktop for the lowest price, every-minute checks on all 10 watches, and the ability to message sellers first.

|---|---|---|

Both plans are code-verified (src/app/pricing/page.tsx; cloud_api/entitlement.py). They're separate subscriptions — neither includes the other.
Choose managed for convenience
If you don't want to leave a computer running or hand over your Facebook login, the managed Mobile App plan is the simplest path — sign up and matches start arriving on Telegram, even with every device off.
Choose desktop to message first
On hot categories, being the first message wins the deal. The Desktop plan uses your own Facebook session to send a single opener on perfect (5/5) matches, runs every-minute checks on all 10 watches, and is the lower-priced plan.
Questions
Which JDMarket plan is cheaper?+
The Desktop plan is cheaper at $29.99/mo (vs $45/mo for managed Phone), and it includes more watches with every-minute checks — the trade-off is that your computer must stay on.
Can one account use both?+
Yes — the same account works on both sides, but they're separate subscriptions. Your Telegram setup carries over if you switch.
Which one can message sellers for me?+
Only the Desktop plan, because it uses your own Facebook session. The managed Mobile App plan sends you the listing and a link to message the seller yourself.
