In their own words
MarketplaceKit
MarketplaceKit is a platform for building marketplaces for products, rentals, bookings, or listings where buyers contact sellers. Owners can charge transaction commissions, listing fees, and membership fees. Product listings can have multiple variants; bookings can use dates, nights, or time slots. The platform includes direct messaging, listing moderation, and controls for approving members before they post or browse. Users can upload images, video, and PDFs, with generated thumbnails and AI-powered image cropping. To shape a marketplace, owners can use custom HTML, CSS, snippets, and a homepage page builder. MarketplaceKit is available on the web and through self-hosting, with Android and iOS apps buildable using its API. Integrations listed include Stripe, MailChimp, Paystack, InstaMojo, and offline payments. The free Community Edition is self-hosted and lighter than the hosted service, with no customer support. Hosted plans start at $15/month; hosted customers receive daily database backups downloadable from the browser.
Tamaranga
Tamaranga Real Estate is a self-hosted platform for launching property portals for agents, agencies, developers or property owners. It supports sale and rental listings in one catalog, with property-specific fields, filters and indefinite publication. Agency workspaces and multi-agent teams are built in, while administrators can assign verified-agent badges. Search includes Google Maps and Yandex Maps; Leaflet, OpenStreetMap and Mapbox are add-ons. Scheduled XML catalog imports are native, and CSV, YML and API imports are add-ons. A free Integration API add-on can sync listings, agencies and users with CRM or MLS feeds. More than 20 payment gateways are listed as standard add-ons. A Booking add-on supports date availability, check-in and check-out, cancellation policies and fees. Branded iOS and Android apps can be published through the customer's developer accounts. The perpetual license covers one live domain and its subdomains, and code and data transfer to the customer's server. Silver costs $4,200 one-time; a 14-day free trial runs on Tamaranga servers without a card.
