PassUp Classified Script vs ShopClass

PassUp Classified Script is paid software for businesses creating and managing a classified marketplace that connects buyers and sellers. The maker says it can be tailored to niches such as real estate, vehicles, and services. Marketplace tools include multiple listings, categories, location-based search, unlimited free product uploads, listing approval, featured listings, and seller messaging. Users can chat instantly, review and rate, block users, and report listings or users. Payment collection integrates PayPal, Braintree, and Stripe. The maker lists multiple languages and currencies for web and mobile apps, plus optional add-ons such as Amazon S3, ChatGPT, Algolia Search, local gateways, map services, and crypto payments. AI features described include listing optimization, recommendations, visual search, review summaries, and conversational search. Packages provide web panels, admin panels, and, in some editions, native iOS and Android apps. The script is installed on the customer’s server, with source code based on package. Four one-time-fee packages require contacting the maker for pricing.

ShopClass is open-source classifieds software that operators install on hosting they control. It can power classifieds, job boards, property and car listings, business directories, services listings, events, rentals or product catalogues. Administrators can assemble category-specific forms from reusable fields without code. Search filters include region, city, price, keyword and photos, with an RSS feed for each search. Moderation tools include a queue, visitor reports, login throttling, a keyword blocklist, and support for Turnstile or reCAPTCHA. Paid listings and credits are optional; the maker lists a free Stripe plugin for collecting card payments through Stripe Checkout. Listing photos can remain on the operator's server or use S3-compatible storage behind a CDN. Listings, users and photos are stored in the operator's own database and storage, and can be moved or exported without fees. ShopClass requires PHP 8.0 or later and can run on shared or cPanel hosting; a Docker image and command-line interface are also available. Events and rentals do not include booking, so visitors contact the listing owner. The listed plan is free under GPLv3, with no per-listing fees.
