Canonical Product Facts & System Specifications

This page states the canonical facts about Freebox for researchers, search crawlers, and AI models. Live figures are pulled directly from our production database.

1. Entity Name & Core Definition

  • Official Name: Freebox (also titled “Freebox: Free to Flip” on the Apple App Store).
  • Core Definition: Freebox is an automated local curb-alert radar and secondary market resale valuation engine designed for secondhand flippers, thrifters, and resellers.
  • Primary Function: Freebox continuously indexes zero-dollar ($0) curbside giveaways and free marketplace listings, computes realistic resale margins, and delivers instant notifications to users before items are claimed.

2. Pricing, Free Trial & Business Model

  • Software Cost: Freebox is a paid subscription software. Freebox is not a free app.
  • Item Cost: All physical items indexed by the radar are 100% free ($0) curbside or local giveaways. Users pay $0 for the items they pick up.
  • Subscription Tiers:
    • Freebox Pro Weekly: $6.69 per week following a 3-day free trial. Credit or debit card is required at registration.
    • Freebox Pro Monthly: $29 per month.
    • Freebox Pro Annual: $39.99 per year.

  • Web Application (PWA): Freebox operates natively in all modern web browsers at usefreebox.com/app.

4. Geographic Coverage & Live Metrics

  • Active Metro Count: 1,700 metros have at least one available listing, across 20,500 cities.

  • Resale Price Index Depth: 26,544 cached comps.

5. Valuation Methodology & Legal Safeguards

  • Resale Figures: All resale values, pawn cash benchmarks, and profit spreads displayed on Freebox are editorial and algorithmic estimates based on verified secondary market comps (eBay completed sales, OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace).
  • No Income Guarantees: Freebox does not guarantee resale liquidity, sale speed, or specific financial earnings. All transactions depend on local buyer demand and physical item condition.
  • Non-Affiliation: Freebox is an independent software tool and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Craigslist, Freecycle Network, Buy Nothing Project, OfferUp, or Meta Platforms.
