A SaaS for professional Vinted sellers covering bookkeeping and deal alerts, from €29/month

Doable, but build only the layer sold to professional sellers: start at €29, built around their accounting, and stay away from write actions on Vinted accounts.Suits a team of 1–2 who are comfortable with scrapers and browser extensions and willing to produce French, German and Polish content for seller communities. An iOS app that photographs items and writes listings is not worth it.Worth a try · grade and headline derived from the full text · next recheck 12-01
| Background | Vinted did €10.8B in GMV in 2025 years and raised a generation of professional sellers. 2025-09 TF1 cast them as villains. |
|---|---|
| Upside | Professional seller tools carry a price tag 3–13 times that of consumer apps. One or two people can reach $1.5–25k a month in a year. |
| Demand | It saves time (reposting 150 items overnight) and captures time (alerts within seconds of a new listing). Users will do the math themselves. |
| Competition | Consumer layer is crowded (4 apps in the French Shopping Top Paid top 20). The French professional layer is getting crowded, while other countries are empty. |
| Revenue | ControlResell $23.7k, SoldComps $24.5k, Flipify $18.1k, anonymous alerts $13.1k (30 days, TrustMRR) |
| Growth | ControlResell flattened after a ×6.6 year. SoldComps went $6 → $347k over 25.8 months. An anonymous reminder app hit $78 in 399 days on listings. |
| Window | Measured quarterly. Vinted Pro 2026H2–2027H1 rolling out to Poland and the Nordics is the next wave. 7-21 already had one round of account bans. |
| Who it's for | 1–2 people who can scrape and build extensions, maintain anti-bot pacing, and get into French / German seller communities. Having sold products yourself counts in your favor |

- 11-08The anonymous French deal-alert app dropped from $14,644 to $13,937 MRR, with subscriptions going 100→95. It's the first consecutive decline since the article ran. ControlResell held steady at $2.4–25k. Separately, the open-source Xianyu project ai-goofish-monitor gained 1,835 stars in a week (17,122 total), showing that "alert seconds after a listing goes up" also works on Chinese secondhand platforms. That version is free and self-hosted, though, so it's a different business from the €79–299/mo paid model.
- 11-07The anonymous French deal-alert service saw its subscriptions fall from 100 to 96 in its first week of November, and MRR drop from $14,621 to $13,937, its first decline since listing at $399,000. Over the same period, the open-source project ai-goofish-monitor on Xianyu reached 17,122 stars (+7 in 1,835 days), so the same demand for second-by-second new-listing alerts exists in China too, except there it is free and self-hosted, a different kind of supply from the €79–299/month offering.
- 11-06The anonymous French deal-alert 11-05 and 11-06 saw revenue turn negative two days in a row. Revenue over 30 days went from $12,454 to $12,466, MRR fell from $14,509 to $13,937, and subscriptions went from 98 to 95. Meanwhile ControlResell recovered to $25,220. The open-source project ai-goofish-monitor on Xianyu (Playwright + AI real-time monitoring and filtering) is 477 days old, has 17,122 stars, and gained 7 in 1,835 days. That shows deal alerts work on other secondhand platforms too, but via a free self-hosted route.
- 11-05The open-source deal-monitoring project ai-goofish-monitor on Xianyu reached 17,122 stars 477 days after its repo was created. It gained 1,835 in 7 days, +817 on its best day, and does multi-task real-time monitoring and smart filtering with Playwright + AI. The same need for alerts within seconds of a new listing exists on Chinese secondhand platforms, but there it is free and self-hosted. It is a different kind of supply from the French anonymous alert at €79–299/month and does not directly compete for the same paying users.
