How does Hooptie compare to Swoopa and other sourcing tools?
Most sourcing tools — including Swoopa — help you find listings faster. That's it. They pull cars from a few platforms and send you alerts. Hooptie does that too, but that's just the starting point.
Where Hooptie is different: we don't just show you listings. We tell you which ones are actually worth buying. Every listing gets AI-verified for seller type (filters out dealers and flippers), title status (removes salvage, rebuilt, flood), and vehicle condition (flags damage from photos). Then we compare the asking price against 500+ mileage-adjusted local comps AND industry wholesale values — so you're seeing real market data, not inflated estimates.
Other platforms may flag more deals as "steals" — but their pricing isn't inherently accurate. If a car is just priced under retail, that's not a deal — you can buy that at auction any day of the week. The real advantage is finding cars priced under wholesale. That's where your margin lives.
Hooptie doesn't guess. We cross-reference local retail comps with auction-grade wholesale data to show you actual profit potential. Other tools give you a firehose of listings. Hooptie gives you a shortlist of deals that are actually profitable.
Why is Hooptie so expensive?
Because missing one deal costs you more than this subscription.
Most dealers we talk to are leaving $2,000–$5,000 on the table simply because they're seeing cars too late. By the time a good deal hits your radar, 5–10 other dealers have already seen it.
Hooptie flips that.
Instead of competing at auction or overpaying on retail listings, you're seeing underpriced private listings the moment they go live — before other dealers even know they exist.
So the real question isn't "why is it so expensive?"
It's: How many deals are you missing every month by not seeing them first?
And here's the part most people don't think about:
If this were $29/month, every dealer in your area would be using it. The same deals. The same alerts. The same competition.
At this price, you're not competing with everyone. You're competing with a small number of dealers who actually move fast.
That's where the edge comes from.
What if there aren't many deals in my area?
Hooptie scans 5 platforms simultaneously every 10 minutes — Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, Cars.com, and AutoTrader. Even in smaller markets, that's a massive net. You also set your own radius (up to 200 miles), so you can cast as wide as you need. Most users see their first quality deal within 48 hours.
What happens during the 7-day free trial?
You get full access to everything — all platforms, all features, all alerts. Set up your deal engine and start seeing real deals in your market immediately. If it's not for you, cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no questions asked.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the app or email support@hooptie.io. Your access continues through the end of your billing period. No contracts, no hoops, no retention calls.
Does Hooptie work for specific makes and models?
Yes. When you set up your deal engine, you choose exactly what you're looking for — make, model, year range, price range, mileage, and more. If you only buy Hondas and Toyotas under $15k, that's all you'll see. If you only want trucks, set it and forget it. Hooptie doesn't send you everything — it sends you what you actually buy.
How fast will I see my first deal?
Most users see their first quality deal within 24–48 hours. It depends on your market, radius, and how specific your filters are. Wider radius + broader filters = more deals, faster. But even in smaller markets, Hooptie is scanning 5 platforms every 10 minutes — if there's a deal out there, you'll see it.
Is this only for licensed dealers?
No. Hooptie is used by licensed dealers, wholesalers, flippers, and independent buyers. Anyone sourcing private-party inventory to resell can benefit. If you buy cars to make money, this is for you.
