Swoopa tells you a car listed. Hooptie tells you whether to buy it.
Swoopa is an alert app with an AI estimate attached. Hooptie checks the title, the accident history, the condition and the wholesale spread on every car in your market, every 3 minutes, 24/7, and hands your sourcing team only the ones that pass.
15-minute demo on your own market · Solo buyers and sourcing teams · No long-term commitment
An alert app. It watches marketplaces for cars matching your searches, pings you when one lists, and attaches its own AI estimate of resale value. How fast the ping arrives depends on which tier you're on.
A sourcing engine that gets you there first and does the checking for you. Every source in your market, every 3 minutes, 24/7. Branded titles, accidents and rough cars are thrown out. What's left is ranked by how far under wholesale it sits, with real local comps beside it.
If you want a ping and you're happy to run the VIN, check the title and price the car yourself, Swoopa does that. If you or your sourcing team want the feed already checked and priced, Hooptie does that job.
An alert is not a decision
A ping tells you a car exists. It doesn't tell you the title is clean, the car hasn't been hit, or the seller isn't hiding a check-engine light in paragraph four. Hooptie runs four checks on every car in your market, every 3 minutes, 24/7. The ones that fail never reach your team.
Clean title
The VIN is decoded from the listing or the plate in the photos, then run against a vehicle history report. Salvage, rebuilt, flood and lemon brands are filtered out whether or not the seller typed the word.
Zero accidents
Every VIN is run against a vehicle history report, and reported accidents are flagged before you ever call. You see the clean ones first.
Good condition
AI reads the description and photos for body damage, mechanical issues, warning lights and project cars. A keyword block list can't do that.
Under priced
Every survivor is scored against wholesale and real local retail comps, and the feed ranks by spread. Price drops re-score the car and push it back to the top, on every plan.
Where each one is strong, and where it's thin
Swoopa is a good alert app. This page isn't going to pretend otherwise. The question is whether an alert is the job you need done.
Swoopa
Built for an individual buyer who wants to hear about a car fast and evaluate it in the app. Saved searches, alerts, an AI estimate with comps, and helpers for making an offer.
- Fast alerts on new listings, with "instant" speed on its top tier
- AI estimate of resale value with comps and estimated profit, shown up front
- AI offer and negotiation helpers on its higher tiers
- Block individual sellers and filter listings by keyword
- Self-serve iOS app, cancel anytime
- Alert speed is a tier: its pricing page lists "Basic," "Fast" and "Instant" as separate plans
- The entry tier covers a single marketplace; price-drop alerts and "VIN & title detection" are top-tier features
- Title screening is described as keyword filtering (e.g. "salvage"); accident history and condition checks aren't described
- Dealer-listing removal, team accounts and nationwide search aren't described on its site
Hooptie
Built for the people actually buying the cars, solo or as a sourcing team. Every major marketplace, plus any classifieds site or enthusiast forum you ask us to add, rescanned every 3 minutes, 24/7, across your radius or the whole country. Every car is checked for a clean title, zero accidents and good condition, then scored against wholesale and local retail.
- Clean title, zero accidents and good condition verified against a vehicle history report before a car reaches your feed
- Wholesale value, spread and real local comps on every listing, ranked by spread
- Every 3 minutes, 24/7, on every plan. Speed isn't a tier
- Dealers and flippers removed; only confirmed private sellers
- One scored feed for the whole sourcing team, on iOS and web, with no long-term commitment
- Custom integrations: we add the classifieds sites and enthusiast forums your team buys from
- No AI negotiator or offer-writing helper. You negotiate; we show you the spread to negotiate from
- Not a self-serve download. You start with a 15-minute demo on your own market
What each one actually does
Grouped by the four stages of a private-party buy: find it, qualify it, work it, get started. Where Swoopa doesn't publish something, we say “not published” instead of guessing.

HooptieSwoopa details are taken from publicly available getswoopa.com pages and its App Store listing as of September 2026 and may change. Swoopa is a trademark of its respective owner.

He was running Swoopa. Now he's first to every private-party 911 in the country.
Kasey runs Flat Six Exchange, a Porsche wholesaler in Sarasota. Swoopa did the job, but he wanted the VIN and the numbers on every car without leaving the app, and a real way to separate genuine private sellers from dealers reposting the same inventory. He switched, then added a second engine for every Porsche.
“I came off Swoopa because Hooptie is just cleaner and faster. The VIN and market values are right there, and it only shows me real private sellers. Now I'm first to every 911 in the country.”
What you give up, what you get
No spin. Here is the trade in one screen.
You give up
- An AI negotiator and offer-writing helper
- A self-serve app download with no call
- Choosing your alert speed as a plan tier
If you're a one-person operation who enjoys running the VIN and pricing the car yourself, an alert app may be all you need.
You get
- Only clean-title, zero-accident, good-condition cars reach the feed, verified against a history report
- Wholesale spread and local comps on every listing, ranked by spread
- Every source rescanned every 3 minutes, 24/7, on every plan. Speed isn't an upgrade
- Search your radius, several markets, or nationwide
- Custom integrations for the classifieds sites and enthusiast forums you buy from
- One scored feed for the whole sourcing team, on iOS and web
- Live after one 15-minute demo, with no long-term commitment
Who should pick which
- You're a solo buyer who wants a ping and will run the VIN, check the title and price the car yourself.
- One marketplace, or a small set of saved searches, covers what you buy.
- You want AI help writing offers and negotiating in the app.
- You or your sourcing team need a steady feed of clean, underpriced cars to work, not a stream of pings to sort.
- You want title, accidents and condition checked against a history report before you spend a text on a seller.
- You buy beyond your zip code and need nationwide coverage that never sleeps.
- You want every buyer on the team seeing the same scored feed, at the same speed, with no long-term commitment.

Hooptie vs Swoopa, answered
Is Hooptie a replacement for Swoopa?+
Yes, for a dealer. Swoopa is an alert app: it tells you a car matching your search just listed, and its AI gives you an estimate. Hooptie does that and then does the work you'd otherwise do by hand: decodes the VIN, runs a vehicle history report, reads the listing for condition, and prices the car against wholesale and real local comps, so the feed only shows cars worth calling on.
Isn't a keyword filter for "salvage" the same as a title check?+
No. A keyword filter only catches sellers who type the word. A branded title on a car whose listing says nothing about it sails through. Hooptie runs the VIN against a vehicle history report, so title brands and reported accidents are caught whether or not the seller mentions them.
Do both tools cover the same sources?+
Swoopa's entry tier covers a single marketplace and its higher tiers cover all of them, per its pricing page. Hooptie covers every major private-party marketplace on every plan, and we build custom integrations for regional classifieds sites and enthusiast forums your team buys from.
Is there a long-term commitment?+
No. Hooptie is month-to-month and you can cancel anytime, with no annual contract. Getting started is a 15-minute demo where we run Hooptie on your own market, set up your searches with you, and get your team live.
Does Hooptie work for a sourcing team, or just one buyer?+
Both. Solo buyers use it as their daily feed. Sourcing teams and acquisition managers run it as the shared source of truth: everyone works the same scored feed on iOS and web, sees what's already been worked, and does outreach from the CRM the team already uses.
Can I search nationwide?+
Yes. Set a radius around your store, several markets, or the entire country. Hooptie rescans every source every 3 minutes, 24/7, whatever the area.
Can Hooptie pull from a forum or classifieds site you don't cover yet?+
Yes. Custom integrations are part of the product. Tell us where your team finds cars, including enthusiast forums and niche classifieds, and we build the source into your feed with the same 3-minute refresh and the same title, accident and condition checks.
