Kijiji Deal Monitoring Software for Canadian Resellers
Kijiji is one of Canada’s major local marketplaces
It can be a valuable add-on to Facebook Marketplace
Competition may be lower than on Facebook Marketplace
Vehicles and technology are especially worth monitoring
Marketplace Monitor helps users capture more Canadian local deal flow
If you only monitor Facebook Marketplace in Canada, you may be missing a meaningful share of local listings.
Why Canadian Resellers Should Monitor Kijiji
- Kijiji is widely used across Canada
- It can provide extra local deal volume alongside Facebook Marketplace
- Filters duplicate and low-quality ads
- It may be less competitive than Facebook Marketplace
- It is especially useful in certain categories
- It should be positioned as an add-on, not necessarily a full replacement
Kijiji as an Add-On to Facebook Marketplace
Even if Kijiji only adds a fraction of the listing volume you see on Facebook Marketplace, that extra source can matter. For many resellers, one additional profitable deal can justify monitoring another marketplace.
- Kijiji may add a significant extra layer of deal flow
- Mention “up to around a third of Facebook Marketplace volume”
- The logic: more sources monitored = more chances to secure deals
- Lower competition may make the extra volume disproportionately valuable
The solution is external filtering, alerts, and keyword targeting
Best Kijiji Categories to Monitor

“Furniture can appear on Kijiji, but in many areas Facebook Marketplace is usually stronger for that category.”
