Bogglo vs The Neighborly App

The fastest way for college students to buy and sell secondhand items safely

Bogglo allows students to transform their campus into a local store where they can quickly buy and sell what they need. College students are always pressed for time. They do not have the leisure to run around town searching for what they need nor can they afford to sell their lightly used items on time consuming marketplaces.

A local social network where users can buy and sell goods or services from people in their neighbourhoods

Neighborly connects local people with each other, helping everyone get more out of - and give more back to - their communities and neighbourhoods.

It was launched in March 2020, originally to help our local community in East London keep each other informed about COVID-19 related issues.

The app's ease of use meant it quickly developed a broader purpose - with users posting about all kinds of things, like the best dog walking spots, where to get the best coffee, and if anyone could recommend a tradesperson to carry out a particular task or service.

It was this last point that made us think - what if we could let tradespeople create profiles, take bookings, and then receive payment and reviews directly through the app? So we developed the Neighborly marketplace for just that.
