History

CarSwap is an app founded in 2016 by Cyrus Rafizadeh[1] and Kane Ellis.[2]

App

The CarSwap app matches car owners in order for them to exchange their motor vehicles with each other. It also allows cars to be bought and sold through the app. Low offers are responded to by a program that tries to influence the sale price of the car.[3] Exchanges can be either temporary or permanent,[4] and are aided by a matchmaking function in the app.[5] In the function, users are shown ads for cars that approximate what they are looking for one at a time, and they can either learn more about the ad or discard the options as they progress. Users are charged per qualifying offer they receive on their listed vehicle, with the number of charges is capped per month.[6]

Users

The app began in Australia, and has since been usable in the US and other countries.[4] CarSwap has over 100,000 registered users[7] and engages with both individuals and car dealerships.[2] The app regularly contains tens of thousands of available vehicles at a time.[8]
