LaraClassifier alternative

Switching

Moving from LaraClassifier

Yclas reads a LaraClassifier database export directly.

Export your LaraClassifier database as a .sql or .sql.gz file, the kind phpMyAdmin or your hosting panel makes.
Start a free trial, choose "I already have a site" in the sign-up wizard, and upload the export in Move your site to Yclas.
Match the fields, check the dry run (a preview with any errors, nothing is saved yet), then import.

Your listings come across with their categories, cities and photos, and so do user accounts. Passwords are not copied: imported users set a new one. Photos come from your old site's storage folder addresses. Archived listings come in as expired, and deleted ones are left out. You can undo the latest import within 7 days.

When to stay with LaraClassifier

You or your developers want the Laravel source code to change and extend.
You want to pay once rather than monthly, and you already run servers.
You plan to build your own mobile apps on its REST API.

Can I move my LaraClassifier site to Yclas?

Yes. Export your LaraClassifier database as a .sql or .sql.gz file and upload it in Move your site to Yclas. Listings, categories, cities, photos and user accounts come across after a dry run you can check, and you can undo the latest import within 7 days.

Is LaraClassifier still maintained?

Yes. Version 19.1.7 was released on 23 October 2026. Owners usually move for the hosting and upkeep, not because the script has stopped.

Does Yclas have AI like LaraClassifier?

Do I need a server for Yclas?

No. Hosting, SSL, updates, security fixes and backups are part of every plan, and you can connect your own domain.
