Classifieds software for small business budgets.
Most classifieds sites start small and grow with their community. These are the people we see starting on the smallest plan.
What Starter gets you, screen by screen.
Every screen below is on the smallest plan. Real screenshots of demo sites made with Yclas.
One price, with the parts others sell separately.
With a free script or a WordPress plugin, payments, maps, messaging, reviews and spam filters are often paid add-ons, each with its own yearly renewal. On Yclas they are part of every plan, and they update together, so nothing breaks because one add-on fell behind.
- Payments with Stripe, PayPal and about 20 more providers.
- Hosting, SSL, backups and updates, run for you.
- Support by email from our team.
Yclas takes no commission, at any size.
Money from featured listings, bumps, paid categories and banners goes straight to your own Stripe or PayPal account. The plan price stays the same however much your site earns, so a good month is all yours.
- Payment provider fees are the only cut, and they go to the provider.
- Coupons for sellers you want to bring in.
Easy to use classifieds software, for you and your sellers.
The admin has one search box that jumps to any setting, a guided tour on your first visit and links to the guide on each page. Sellers post from a phone in about a minute, and the AI can write the listing from a photo.
- Set up in about two minutes with the wizard.
- Log in as a user to help a seller who is stuck.

What is the most affordable classifieds software?
Free scripts cost nothing to download but need paid hosting, plugins and your time. Among hosted options, Yclas Starter is $19 a month with hosting, payments, moderation, SEO and AI included.
Is it classifieds software for small business owners without technical skills?
Yes. The wizard sets the site up, the admin has a search that finds any setting, and there is nothing to install or update.
Are there extra fees?
No setup fee and no commission. Your domain and your payment provider's fees are the only extras, plus custom design if you ever want it.
What if I outgrow the plan?
We email you at 90% of your listing limit. Move to Professional whenever you like; the days left on your plan carry over.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, from My sites in your account. Nothing renews after that.
Is there a refund?
