Hello guys and thx for the valuable information posted in the forums. The best.
I have decided to move away from any Osclass releases, to something else. Currently i use Osclass 3.9.
I have read all the info posted here about Wordpress alternatives and also some topic about Yclas. And got disappointed from the options.
So, i would like to ask of there are any other scripts available that you could suggest. Or anyone else is using something else, with success?
Thank you
Hi and welcome.
Personally i have no experience in other "dedicated" classifieds scripts, i always used Osclass.
But i can tell you that all Wordpress solutions are not good at all, to be kind. I have tried all the free plugins and are awful and also tried some WP paid plugin/themes are and not good. Nothing to do with a dedicated classifieds script.
May i ask why you want to switch to something else?
Well, we do not want to use Osclass script anymore. The current Osclass situation is not what we saw 10 years ago.
The only 2 options in my opinion are:
1. The 100% free option: https://github.com/MercanoG/Osclass-Enterprise - the vanilla Osclass experience, vastly improved and updated. Still supported, still awesome. 😀
2. A premium option: https://codecanyon.net/item/modesy-buy-sell-used-stuff/22714108 - shiny and powerful, but gets you locked-in as it doesn't have support for plugins and themes. If you want to mod it, you have to know how to code.
Run from WordPress and others!
YClas closed their source code. You can still buy it for $360/year but they removed their Github repo . (is there anything YOUNGER than https://github.com/cybernet/yclas ? )

Thanks for that Modesy link,
Modesy - Marketplace & Classified Ads Script
we can read they've made "2203 sales x $60" . it pays the bills :) Good job guys !!
so, in my opinion , a 3rd option could be:
3. Custom OSclass version with IMPORT from your website, you just pay for the installation job, setting up, tuning.
humm... thanks for this link @Tango,
as it shows there still is a Classifieds Market here !
See you around
Cheers

Still, having Wordpress and be able to use any (almost) theme you want, is a huge plus.
