Overall, the categories classified ads, real estate, job exchange and cars are offered. These are in turn divided into subcategories. The number of users is quite high, as Kalaydo has received numerous awards in the past. You can find Kalaydo's official website here.

Facebook has also been offering its marketplace in Germany since summer 2017. Here you can offer and buy all kinds of items just like on eBay classifieds. Thanks to advertising, the use of the marketplace is completely free.
You don't have to be friends with the other user to see offers. Facebook also offers the option of only looking at objects in the area. The offers are clearly listed and you should be able to find your way around at any time.
You can also sort by categories such as furniture, handicrafts, electronics or other items on the Facebook marketplace. You have to take care of the shipping and payment yourself with the buyer or seller. Facebook doesn't offer any help here.

Markt.de is a large German-language portal with almost 3 million visitors. The freemium model is also used here. As long as you buy and sell privately, you don't pay anything. However, if you would like to have extra functions for your advertisement, this costs a small fee.
The site is well designed and clear. You can also download apps for iOS and Android here. It is interesting that you do not have to register to contact us. But this also has room for fraudsters - so be careful.
Markt.de offers many categories from jobs to real estate to travel. Animals, contacts and events also find their own category on Markt.de. So if you are looking for a lot of choice, you should visit the Markt.de website.

Quoka existed as a newspaper twenty years ago, which speaks for a long experience with classified ads. It is therefore no wonder that the same model is used as for the other two marketplaces. Private use is free and you only pay for extras in your ad.
The design by Quoka is a little older but still clear. Only the extensive advertising can be annoying at times. Also, some chargeable features have been selected in advance when advertising. So be sure to turn it off if you don't want any extra costs. You can also find an app for Quoka on iOS and Android.
Quoka offers roughly the same categories as the previous pages. The number of users is just as high as the selection. This takes you to the Quoka website.
