What it is

OpenClassify is an open-source platform for building classified-ad and marketplace websites. It runs on the web, supports self-hosting, and provides API access. A photo can be used to prepare a listing’s category, title, and description with models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. Listings can include images and video, and real-time messaging connects listing owners with visitors. Marketplace operations include store and business profiles, listing approval, complaints, notifications, comments, and content review tools. Monetization features include membership packages and featured listings, alongside payment integrations such as Stripe, PayPal, Iyzico, PayTR, and Paddle. Search options include Algolia, location-based and geo-distance search, and autocomplete; multilingual support is also listed. The developer page names PHP 8.5, Laravel 12, Filament v5, Docker, and GitHub Codespaces, and says the Docker image can run anywhere. The code and modules are open source under the MIT license. The listed plan is free.
