ShopClass vs Tamaranga

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.

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.
