VINTI vs Kops: which one to choose in 2026? The honest comparison
Torn between Kops and VINTI? The difference comes down to one number: automatic buying costs €39.99/month with VINTI, versus €79.99/month with Kops. That's €480 saved per year for the same promise — buying on Vinted while you sleep. Here is our honest comparison: what Kops does well, what VINTI does better, and how to choose for your profile.
The moment that decides everything
It's 11:47 pm. A The North Face Nuptse jacket, your size, €45 instead of €120, has just gone live on Vinted. Within a few minutes, a dozen people will have seen it. Only one will buy it.
That is what a Vinted bot is all about: getting notified before everyone else, then buying before everyone else. Kops and VINTI both answer that need, with a real-time feed and automatic buying. But they don't do it at the same price, or for the same people.

What Kops does well
Let's be honest: Kops is a good tool, built for professional resellers. According to its website, it offers unlimited filters from the entry plan, automatic offers sent to sellers, a shared inbox to manage several accounts and a resale price estimate. There is no commitment, and a 3-day trial.
If you run a small team flipping items at scale across several Vinted accounts, those management features can matter. For almost everyone else, though, the question isn't managing an inbox: it's getting the item before anyone else. And that changes the maths.
Why VINTI is the best choice for most buyers
1. Automatic buying at half the price: €480 saved per year
Auto-Cop is the feature that really makes the difference: as soon as a listing matches your criteria, VINTI buys it, without a click, even at 3 am. With VINTI, it is included from Plus, at €39.99/month, together with one-click Auto-Buy. With Kops, it only exists on the Pro plan, at €79.99/month.
Over a year: €479.88 with VINTI versus €959.88 with Kops. A €480 difference — the equivalent of several great pieces bought thanks to the bot.
2. Your alerts where you actually are
An alert that lands in a tab you're not looking at is useless. With VINTI, every search can notify you in the app, by push notification on your phone, in your own Discord channel and on your own Telegram bot — on every plan, from €9.99/month.

3. Your Vinted account stays with you
VINTI uses your Vinted account only from the desktop app, on your own connection and at a natural pace — never from our servers. Your purchases leave from your computer, just as if you were using Vinted yourself. That's the foundation of worry-free use: everything is explained on our page Vinted bot and account safety.
4. Built for everyone, not just pros
Kops speaks to resellers. VINTI also speaks to thrifters, collectors and families who want to dress their kids for less. With Family Mode, a single Professional subscription is shared between loved ones, each with their own Vinted account and searches.
Which plan to choose for your profile?
- You thrift for yourself and just want to be notified in time: VINTI Essential, €9.99/month — 10 searches, alerts in the app, push, Discord and Telegram.
- You want to win the race for rare pieces: VINTI Plus, €39.99/month — one-click Auto-Buy and Auto-Cop that buys on its own.
- You resell or thrift as a family: VINTI Professional, €79.99/month — unlimited searches, Family Mode and commercial use (resell access to your alerts on your Discord or Telegram).
- You manage a multi-account team with a shared inbox: Kops Pro can make sense. For everything else, VINTI does more for less.
