marketA simpler, safer OLX alternative
Updated 10 November 2026
If you want a quicker way to buy and sell than the big classifieds apps, Occrr Market is a simple alternative: one photo, a price and your city, and your ad is live in about 30 seconds. Your phone number is never shown, you get 5 live ads for free, and scam wording is refused on every ad.
Who this is for
OLX, Quikr and Facebook Marketplace are well-known places to sell used things. They have huge audiences and a lot of features. Occrr Market is much newer and much smaller, and it was built around a different idea: selling something should take less time than making a cup of tea, and it shouldn't cost you your privacy. If that's what you care about, read on.
Feature by feature
This compares Occrr Market with what you often find on large classifieds apps in general. Every app changes over time, so check the details of any app you use.
Why one photo?
A buyer usually decides whether to ask about an item from the first photo they see. Long forms and many photo slots make posting slow, and it's easy to put it off. With one photo, posting takes seconds, the feed loads fast even on an old phone and a slow connection, and a serious buyer can always ask "can you send a photo of the back?" in the chat.
Your number stays hidden
Every Occrr account is verified with a phone number or Google, one account per person, but your number is stored encrypted and never shown on your ad. Buyers message you in a chat attached to that ad. If you want to call, you can share your number in the chat yourself. No spam calls after the item is sold.
A scam shield on every ad and chat
- Ads with common scam wording ("advance payment", "token amount", "courier charges", "scan QR to receive", "army officer") or prohibited items are refused before they go live.
- Chat messages that mention advance payments, OTPs, UPI PINs or QR codes show a warning to the person reading them.
- When 3 different people report an ad, it's hidden until our team checks it. You can block anyone in one tap.
