Distance-based discovery
Choose your search radius to find realistic swap possibilities near you.
Why it exists
Useful things should keep moving.
Useful for everyone.
Swapizy works for everyday exchanges, people who enjoy swapping, collectors, and hobby communities. Categories simply make it easier to find the right thing.
One active item
Each user chooses one active item at a time, which keeps matching simple and makes every like easier to understand.
Like with intent
A like means you would trade your active item for that specific thing. A dislike skips it, keeping choices quick and clear.
Local by default
Search radius and categories help people find realistic swaps nearby instead of browsing an endless marketplace.
How it works
Three steps from unused to useful.
01Add your item
Take photos, write a short description, assign a category, and make the item active for swapping.
02Like what fits
Browse items from people whose swap preferences match your active item. Like the ones you would trade for and skip the rest.
03Match and chat
When both sides like each other's items, a private chat opens so you can agree on the details of the exchange.
Built for trust
Focused matching, clear categories, and moderation paths.
Swapizy keeps the first version intentionally focused: active items, category-based intent, distance radius, reports, blocks, and chat only after a mutual match.
Category intent
Users choose the item category they are ready to receive in return.
Nearby discovery
Location is used to show items within a user's selected search radius.
Report flow
Users can report items and accounts in the app, and New Zealand users can submit a formal content notice through Support.
Chat gate
Chats open only after a match, keeping conversations tied to genuine swap intent.
