A price alert on AutoScout24: what the platform offers and what Autoflip adds
AutoScout24 offers two kinds of notifications: a saved search that emails or pushes you on new listings and a notification when the price of a favourite drops. That price-drop alert only works on listings you have already saved and the notifications are bound to the AutoScout24 app or email. Autoflip approaches it differently: you set a maximum price as a filter and get a Telegram alert within seconds the moment a new car appears within that budget, not just on AutoScout24 BE and NL but also on 2dehands, Marktplaats and Mobile.de.

The key difference
The AutoScout24 price alert is useful when you follow a specific listing and hope the seller drops the price. It just tells you nothing about new cars coming online within your budget today and it only works inside AutoScout24. Autoflip turns it around: you set your price and car filters once and get a Telegram alert within seconds for every new listing that fits, on AutoScout24 BE and NL, 2dehands, Marktplaats and Mobile.de at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
Does AutoScout24 itself have a price alert?
Yes. You can save a search for alerts on new listings and on saved favourites you get a notification when the price drops. Both work via the AutoScout24 app or email and only within AutoScout24.
Can I get alerts for price drops on other platforms?
Not via AutoScout24: the price alert only works there. Autoflip tracks five platforms at once and sends a Telegram alert the moment a new listing appears within your price filter, wherever it comes online.
What is the difference between a price alert and the Autoflip approach?
A price alert waits for an existing listing to become cheaper. Autoflip reports new listings that already fall within your budget, within seconds of publication. For quickly sold private cars that is usually the moment that counts.
