There are half a dozen ways to get eBay sold prices. If you came here looking for a SoldComps alternative, compare two things: how many results one request returns, and what happens to the noise. A raw iPhone 17 Pro Max search can include cases, chargers, screen protectors, parts, and nearby models. CompSniper gives you both: the raw feed exactly as eBay lists it (relevance=false), or optional AI cleanup with the raw median reported alongside. Below is an honest look at SoldComps, Soldgraph, CompsAPI, Trawl, Terapeak, eBay’s official APIs, self-scraping, Bright Data and Apify, checked October 14, 2026: how far back each goes, whether Best Offer sales show the real price, and whether you get a usable median.
Sold data means real completed-sale prices, not active asking prices. Clean sold data means accessories, parts, wrong models, and junk matches are removed before you trust the median. Prices and features are each provider’s publicly listed details, checked October 14, 2026, and can change.

One CompSniper request returns up to 240 sold listings across 8 eBay marketplaces, then applies custom AI cleanup before your median.
No single tool wins for everyone. Here is where each option shines and where CompSniper is the better fit, written plainly.
SoldComps is the closest direct comparison: the same $9, $29 and $79 plans and up to 240 sold listings per request across 8 eBay sites, with active listings, Max Mode and an opt-in accepted Best Offer price on ebay.com, .co.uk and .de items (one extra request per match). Its sold history is roughly the last 90 days, and it has no MCP server. The other question is whether the matches are clean enough to trust: a raw search can pull the item next to cases, chargers, parts and nearby variants.
You already use SoldComps, your searches are simple, and you only need a familiar sold-comps lookup flow.
You want the same price plus up to 3 years of sold history on every plan, real accepted Best Offer prices at no extra cost, the raw feed or optional AI cleanup per request, full TCGplayer sold history, and hosted MCP access. See CompSniper vs SoldComps.
Soldgraph is a newer listings API (domain registered September 2026) covering eBay's 8 sites plus Poshmark, Mercari, TCGplayer and active listings on Depop, Whatnot, OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace and Vinted. eBay searches return 40 rows by default (up to 200), and a search that is not cached returns a job you poll. Each call reads one eBay results page, Best Offer sales carry a flag rather than the accepted price, and new accounts get 100 free requests once rather than every month.
You need active listings from Depop, Whatnot, OfferUp, Facebook or Vinted alongside eBay.
You want 240 sold listings in one synchronous call, up to 3 years of history, real accepted Best Offer prices and 100 free requests every month. See CompSniper vs Soldgraph.
CompsAPI launched in October 2026 as an eBay sold-history API: up to 1,095 days per search and the accepted Best Offer price on every plan. Its free and $9 plans are limited to 1 year of history, with 3 years from $29. It is US-first with other eBay sites merged in, reports every price in US dollars, covers no other marketplaces, and lists no bulk or async jobs. At high volume it includes more requests per dollar.
You only need US eBay prices in dollars at very high volume.
You want 3 years of history on the free plan, prices in each eBay site's own currency, Poshmark, Mercari and TCGplayer under one key, plus bulk search, Card Batch and Max Mode. See CompSniper vs CompsAPI.
Trawl is a stored database of US and UK eBay sales that it keeps beyond eBay's 90-day window, with up to 2,000 results per call. New sales appear within minutes in busy categories and within the day in quiet ones, according to its site. It is the strongest option for multi-year trends. It does not cover Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Canada or Australia, and it returns raw rows rather than a cleaned median.
You need years of US or UK sales history for trend analysis, backtesting, or model training.
You need what sold right now, on any of 8 eBay marketplaces, with up to 240 sold listings per request, a median and price range, and optional AI cleanup. See CompSniper vs Trawl.
Both used to return eBay sold listings through a sold filter. In late July 2026 eBay put sold and completed listings behind sign-in. SearchAPI dropped its sold_listings and completed_listings filters as of July 23, 2026, and SerpApi deprecated its eBay Sold and Completed filters on September 28, 2026. They still return active eBay listings and remain excellent for Google, Amazon and other engines.
You need active eBay listings alongside many other search engines from one provider.
You need eBay sold or completed listings: CompSniper sold search still works. See the SerpApi eBay sold alternative.
Terapeak lives inside eBay Seller Hub as Product Research. It shows sold data with a generous window (up to three years) and is free with most eBay accounts. The catch is that it is a dashboard for humans, not a data source for software. There is no public API, no bulk export you can wire into a pricing model, and no custom AI cleanup step before your median. It is a lookup tool, not a pipeline.
You are a solo seller pricing items by hand inside eBay and you want the longest possible history for free.
You need sold prices inside your own app, spreadsheet, or automation, and you want cleaned JSON instead of clicking through a dashboard.
eBay has three chapters here. The old Finding API returned completed listings and was the classic answer for years, but eBay decommissioned it, so any tutorial pointing you there is dead on arrival. The Browse API is alive and free, but it only returns active listings, not sold prices, so it cannot tell you what things actually went for. Marketplace Insights is the one official API that returns real sold data, and it is genuinely good, but it ships as a Limited Release that is not accepting new developers. Getting access means an approval process that can take weeks, assuming you are approved at all. You still need to decide how to clean noisy keyword matches for your own median logic.
You already hold Marketplace Insights access, or you only need active listings and OAuth overhead does not bother you.
You want sold data today without waiting on an approval queue, and you want a custom AI model to remove accessories, parts, and wrong models before the median.
Writing your own scraper looks cheap on day one and expensive by month three. eBay's sold pages need a logged-in session, aggressive requests get blocked, and the HTML changes without warning. To make it reliable you end up running residential proxies, rotating authenticated accounts, classifying page types, catching currency leaks, and building relevance cleanup so iPhone 17 Pro Max does not mean cases and chargers. That is real engineering payroll spent on plumbing instead of your product.
Scraping is your core competency, you enjoy maintaining proxy infrastructure, and you have engineers to keep it running.
You want the same underlying result (real sold listings as cleaned JSON) without owning the proxy pool, the parser, the cleanup model, or the 2 a.m. pages when eBay changes its markup.
Bright Data is a serious proxy and web-data platform. It gives you the raw capability to scrape almost anything, including eBay, through residential proxies and scraper builders. But it is infrastructure, not an eBay sold-comps product. You still design the collector, write the parser, normalize the fields, build result cleanup, and keep it working, and you pay platform-scale prices (often several hundred dollars a month) for the privilege. It is a great fit for large teams scraping many sites, and overkill for someone who just wants sold prices.
You are scraping dozens of sites at scale and want one heavyweight platform for proxies and collection across all of them.
eBay sold prices are the specific thing you need, and you would rather pay for the cleaned answer than rent the tools to build it.
Apify hosts a marketplace of prebuilt scrapers (actors), including community eBay sold-listing actors. It is a nice middle ground: less work than building from scratch, more flexible than a fixed API. The trade-offs are that quality and freshness vary by actor and author, you are billed by compute usage rather than a predictable per-search quota, and you inherit whatever the actor maintainer decides to support. Our own Apify actor runs the same cleanup engine as this API for people who prefer that channel.
You already build workflows on Apify and want your eBay data to live alongside your other actors.
You want predictable pricing (pay per search, not per compute unit), custom AI cleanup, and a first-party API contract that stays stable under /v1.
Find the row that sounds like you and start there.

No. SearchAPI dropped its sold and completed filters as of July 23, 2026, and SerpApi deprecated its eBay Sold and Completed filters on September 28, 2026. Both still return active eBay listings.
