Public, shareable listings	Every active listing and seller catalogue has a public link you can share. Buyers can open the link to see photos, asking prices, condition and seller details before contacting the seller.	Access on terms the platform sets.

When Quikr is the better choice

No platform wins on everything. These are the cases where Quikr may fit your needs better.

You need a local service — a plumber, a tutor, a packer — rather than an item. Flipns lists things, property and jobs, not services.
The category you want is one Quikr covers and Flipns does not.
You want the reach of an established platform today rather than a newer one.
You want the platform to collect the payment and deliver the item, releasing the money only once you accept it. Quikr Doorstep does that for some categories, in the cities where it runs; Flipns never handles payment or delivery.

Why a narrower marketplace can be the better one

Every active listing and seller catalogue has a public link you can share. Buyers can open the link to see photos, asking prices, condition and seller details before contacting the seller.

If you want an item, a home or a role, that focus is worth something. If you want a plumber, it is not the right tool, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise.

Frequently asked questions

Is Flipns free to use like Quikr?

Yes — listing is free for every item, and Flipns takes no commission on a sale. Credits are optional and pay only for promotion, verification review and message forwarding, at published prices.

Does Flipns list local services?

No. Flipns covers goods of every kind, property for sale and rent, and job postings. If you need a service provider, a services directory is the right tool.

How is Flipns different from other Indian classifieds sites?

Check the verification badges, ratings, reviews and member-since information shown on a profile. A badge is a signal about the account, not a guarantee about an item or a transaction.

Is Quikr still active?

Yes. When we opened quikr.com on 11 October 2026, the site was live, offered free ad posting, and its Mobiles & Tablets section showed listings posted within the previous few hours. That is all a visit can confirm; for anything about Quikr as a company, check with Quikr directly.

Which is better, OLX or Quikr?

Neither wins everywhere. Both are general classifieds sites in India where people list goods, vehicles, property and jobs, so the better one depends on what you are selling and where. Search each for items like yours in your own city and see which shows more recent listings. Flipns is a newer option with free listing and no commission, and listing in more than one place is normal.
