What is the difference between CompSniper and CompsAPI?
Both return real eBay sold listings, up to 3 years of sold history and the real accepted price on Best Offer sales. CompSniper includes the 3 years on every plan, including free; CompsAPI's free and $9 plans stop at 1 year. CompSniper prices all 8 eBay sites in their own currency, adds Poshmark, Mercari and TCGplayer under the same key, and offers Max Mode, bulk search and Card Batch jobs. CompsAPI is eBay only, reports every price in US dollars, and is cheaper at very high volume.

CompSniper vs CompsAPI
Both answer the same two questions eBay's sold page cannot: what did this sell for more than 90 days ago, and what did the buyer really pay on a Best Offer. Here is how each answers them.

| 3-year sold history | Every plan, including free | From the $29 plan; free and $9 plans get 1 year |
| Rows per history call | Up to 50 per page on /v1/research/sold, paged | Up to 240 per call |
| Recent sales per request | Up to 240 with full listing fields | Up to 240 |
| Accepted Best Offer price | bestOfferPrice=true, every plan, no extra cost (US-dollar sales) | best_offer=1, every plan |
| eBay sites | 8, recent sales in each site's own currency (GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD, USD) | eBay US first, other sites merged in, every price in USD |

| AI cleanup | Optional, raw or cleaned per request, median in every response | Cleaned stats on /v1/comps (90 days) |

CompsAPI details come from its public homepage, pricing page, documentation and llms.txt as checked on October 14, 2026, and can change. CompsAPI's own comparison page says every CompSniper plan tops out at 90 days of history; that is out of date: CompSniper's /v1/research/sold returns up to 3 years on every plan, and bestOfferPrice=true returns the real accepted Best Offer price.
Why teams pick CompSniper

Test multi-year trends on the free plan, then scale. No plan gate between you and the history you need to price slow movers.
Local prices on 8 eBay sites
Price a UK, German or Australian listing against sales in GBP, EUR or AUD from that marketplace, not a US-first blend converted to dollars.
One key for every job
Recent comps, 3-year history, Best Offer prices, Poshmark, Mercari and TCGplayer, plus bulk search, Card Batch and Max Mode, all on the same key and quota.
To be fair to CompsAPI: at high volume it includes more requests for the money ($79 for 100,000), its history call returns up to 240 rows at once, and it has card-specific filters and a ready-made Sheets template. If you only need US eBay prices in dollars at very high volume, it is worth a look. For history on the free plan, local-currency comps and other marketplaces, CompSniper does more.
