OLX Brasil
Fast, easy, and low-cost way to buy and sell almost anything locally while championing the circular economy.
OLX Brazil is Brazil's largest generalist classifieds platform, owned by OLX Group (Adevinta/Prosus), covering real estate, vehicles, electronics, and furniture across all Brazilian states. In property, OLX Brazil operates alongside the OLX Group's dedicated portals ZAP Imóveis and VivaReal, serving a broader and more cost-sensitive audience — particularly private landlords and individual sellers who prefer not to engage professional agencies. OLX Brazil earns revenue through a freemium model where basic listings are free and sellers pay for promotional visibility upgrades, with display advertising providing additional revenue across its large Brazilian consumer audience.
