Frequently asked questions

The fifteen questions we get most often — with the actual numbers.

What is Łowca?

Łowca is a Polish shopping advisor and deal-alert service. It first helps you pick a specific model or version, then checks Polish marketplaces daily and e-mails you when a listing appears clearly below its typical price.

Which marketplaces does Łowca monitor?

Łowca monitors OLX, Allegro, Allegro Lokalnie, Vinted and Sprzedajemy.pl, plus Otomoto for cars and Otodom for flats. For products also sold new, prices are additionally compared with the cheapest new unit on Ceneo.

Does Łowca monitor Facebook Marketplace?

No. Łowca does not monitor Facebook Marketplace, Gratka, Morizon, Nieruchomosci-online or Erli.

How much does Łowca cost?

The account is free and gets 15 points every 30 days. A message to the advisor costs 1 point and a sent alert costs 10 points per monitored marketplace. Point packs range from 19 zł for 50 points to 179 zł for 1000 points. Full breakdown: pricing.

Does Łowca have a subscription?

No. Łowca has no subscription and no automatic renewal. You buy a pack of points whenever you want, and purchased points do not expire.

What is one alert and what does it cost?

An alert is one e-mail containing the listings that cleared the deal threshold. It costs 10 points per marketplace the observation covers — a single-marketplace observation costs 10 points per alert, a three-marketplace one costs 30.

Do I pay if nothing is found?

No. Scanning the market and creating an observation are free. Points come off only when an alert is sent, and when a cycle turns up nothing new no e-mail goes out.

Do I have to set a maximum price?

No. Łowca works out the typical price of the item itself from current listings and shows how far below it a given offer sits.

How does Łowca know a price is good?

Łowca computes the typical price for the specific thing — a product model, a car model and year, or a flat in a given district — from current listings, and for retail products it additionally compares with the cheapest new unit on Ceneo.

How fast do notifications arrive?

Alerts arrive by e-mail at the rhythm you choose: instantly, once a day, or twice a day. You set the rhythm per observation and can change it at any time.

Will I be alerted about a listing that has been up for a week?

No. Alerts cover listings that appeared after the observation was created, which is also why the same item never comes back in a later e-mail.

I do not know which model to choose. Will Łowca advise me?

Yes, that is where it starts. Describe what you need the thing for and your budget, and Łowca compares versions and variants, names a specific model and says what would have to give if a requirement does not fit the budget.

Does Łowca protect against scams?

Łowca moves listings priced drastically away from the market into a separate „check carefully” section instead of putting them first. That is a warning signal, not a verdict about the seller — verifying before paying is always the buyer's decision.

How many observations can I run at once?

Up to ten at a time per account, whatever your point balance.

How do I delete my account and data?

The account can be deleted in the Łowca app under profile settings, or by e-mail to team@lowca-okazji.com. Deletion removes the account data together with any unused points. Step by step: Account and data deletion.
