An OfferUp clone for every phone, no app store needed.
An OfferUp clone is a local selling app where people snap a photo, post in a minute, chat and haggle with buyers nearby. Yclas gives you all of that as a site that installs on the home screen with push notifications, and a branded iPhone app if you take the Marketplace plan.

OfferUp was built for the phone, not adapted to it.
OfferUp launched in Seattle in 2011 as a mobile app for buying and selling locally, and in 2020 it combined with Letgo, another app with the same idea. Both made selling feel like sending a text.
An OfferUp clone without the app store.
An app is a big project: two stores, two code bases, reviews and updates. Most people who try a new local marketplace find it through a link in a group chat, so the first visit is in a browser anyway. Every Yclas site is built for phones first, and visitors can add it to their home screen, where it opens full screen with its own icon.
- Push notifications for new messages, offers and saved-search matches, on Android and computers from the browser, and on iPhone once the site is on the home screen.
- An offline page when the signal drops.
- Your own iPhone app on the App Store, with your name and icon, on the Marketplace plan.
- No Android app on Google Play: on Android the site installs from Chrome instead.
Snap it, check it, post it.
On the post page, a seller adds a photo and the AI suggests the title, description, category and price. They correct what is wrong and post. A listing takes about a minute, which is what decides whether people sell a second thing.
- 50, 100 or 500 photo listings a month by plan, up to 10 per seller a day.
- Mark as sold and renew from My listings in two taps.
Haggle in the chat, the way people already do.
Buyers message the seller from the listing and make an offer in the same thread. The seller accepts, declines or counters. Photos, "Seen" receipts and push notifications keep the conversation moving, and suggested replies help sellers answer fast.
- Offers last seven days, one at a time per conversation.
- Pay at the agreed price: when the item can be bought online, an accepted offer gives the buyer 48 hours to pay.
Profiles with ratings and a verified badge.
Every seller has a public page with their rating, badges and listings. Buyers and sellers rate each other after a deal, and sellers can send an ID document for your team to check; once approved, they show an ID verified badge.
- Safe meeting tips on every listing page.
- Report a listing or a conversation in two taps.

Is it legal to build an OfferUp or Letgo clone?
Yes. A local selling app is a legal business. You may not use the OfferUp or Letgo names, logos or app designs, or copy their listings.
Do I need an app for my OfferUp clone?
No. The site works in every phone browser and can be added to the home screen, where it opens full screen and gets push notifications. If you also want to be on the App Store, the Marketplace plan includes your own iPhone app.
Is there an Android app?
Not on Google Play. Android visitors add the site from Chrome, and it behaves like an app.
Do push notifications work on iPhone?
Yes, once the visitor adds the site to the home screen, on iOS 16.4 or later, which is how Apple allows web notifications.
What does it cost?
Starter is $19 a month, Professional is $99 and Marketplace is $149 with the branded iPhone app. 15-day free trial, no card.
Can buyers pay in the app?
On Marketplace, yes: Buy now and a cart, paid by card through your Stripe account. Most local deals are still paid in person.
How do I make meetings safer?
Show safety tips on listings, keep contact in the chat, let sellers get an ID verified badge, and suggest meeting in a public place.
