Comparison to flathunter?

[rugk]

I saw (and found you) through flathunter and I know you know the project: flathunters/flathunter#685

That said, they both seem to have the same idea/aim, so what is the advantage over flathunter of this project? Or differences in general?

Hey,

I keep wondering about this question, especially how to even answer it. What has more benefits than the other? I’d say it really comes down to taste. Flathunter is a great tool, made by people who clearly put a lot of effort (and probably late nights) into it. I really appreciate that they’re doing all of this for free for the community. It’s hard to compare the two and I’m definitely not here to compete, which is also why I made the immoscout reverse-engineering part available to them.

Anyway, if you take a look at both projects, you’ll see that Flathunter doesn’t have a UI. On the flip side, they’ve been putting a ton of energy into captcha solving, which I very intentionally did not...

I think both Flathunter and Fredy trying to solve the same problem but in different styles.

Thanks for the reply, yes, this was also more from a users perspective who may need to choose/want which they want to use. 🙂

All good ;) I just don't want to compete with others /other projects here. I personally think Fredy is easier to use, but of course I'm biased.

@rugk One thing that came to my mind that might make a difference (tho only recently added) is Fredy's ability to scan if listings are still online. See
