eBay sold data, billed
per search, not per row.
What is the difference between CompSniper and the Apify eBay Sold Listings actor?
Both return real eBay sold listings across the same 8 marketplaces. The Apify actor runs on the Apify platform and charges per result returned (from $2.50 to $4.00 per 1,000 results, depending on your Apify plan). CompSniper is a direct REST API billed per request: one call returns up to 240 sold listings plus a median and price range, and still counts as one request.

Why Apify users switch to CompSniper
Pay per search, not per row
A busy keyword can return 240 sold listings. On a per-result plan that is 240 billable results; on CompSniper it is one request.
A plain API, no platform
No actor runs, datasets, or platform account to manage. Send a GET request with your key and parse the JSON, from any language, spreadsheet, or AI agent.
The numbers come pre-computed
Every response includes the median, percentiles, and price range, with optional AI cleanup that drops accessories and wrong models before the median.
To be fair to Apify: if you already run many scrapers on the Apify platform and want everything in one place, the actor fits that workflow, and it supports up to six keywords per run. CompSniper is for when you want a direct eBay sold-data API with predictable per-request pricing.
One GET request, no actor run
Send a keyword with your API key and get completed eBay sales as clean JSON in a single response, with the median and price range computed for you.

How does Apify charge for eBay sold listings?+
The caffein.dev eBay Sold Listings actor charges per result, from $2.50 per 1,000 results on Apify's Business plan up to $4.00 per 1,000 on the free plan, plus a very small fee per run.
How does CompSniper charge?+
Per request. One request returns up to 240 sold listings and counts once. There is a free tier of 100 requests a month, then plans from $9 a month for 2,000 requests.
Do both cover the same eBay marketplaces?+
Yes. Both cover eBay US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, and Australia (8 sites), with prices in each market's own currency.
Can I use CompSniper without writing code?+
Yes. There is a search dashboard for looking up sold comps by hand, CSV export, and a hosted MCP server so you can ask for sold prices inside Claude or ChatGPT.
Which is better for pricing tools and repricers?+
Tools that make many lookups usually prefer per-request pricing and a response that already includes the median and range, which is how CompSniper works. If you already run other Apify actors and want one platform bill, the Apify actor can make sense.
