OpenClassify vs Osclass

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.

Osclass is a free, open-source PHP and MySQL script for building self-hosted classifieds sites, including marketplaces, real-estate directories, car classifieds, job boards and niche selling platforms. Its core includes listings, nested categories, custom fields, comments, media uploads, users, moderation, location and currency settings, SEO routes, themes, plugins and an administrative back office. It runs on PHP 7.4 or later with CURL, MySQLi and GD, and supports MySQL 5.7 or later or MariaDB. The base installation requires 10 MB of disk space. Built-in translations support multiple active languages and RTL where themes allow it, while SEO options include canonical URLs, hreflang and custom search URL rules. Osclass can be extended through themes and plugins, and its premium Osclass Pay extension adds featured listings, publishing fees, wallets, memberships and payment connectors. Free integrations include Cloudflare Turnstile and analytics tools. The core is free under Apache License 2.0. Themes, plugins, language packs and geolocation SQL data may need separate installation, and commercial themes and plugins are sold separately; paid bundles are also listed.
