Our story

Building classifieds marketplaces since 2009.

We created Yclas — one of the first self-hosted classifieds platforms — and watched thousands of entrepreneurs launch marketplaces with it. Now we’re taking everything we learned and rebuilding it from scratch. That’s Yclas Neo.

The original Yclas

In 2009, we launched Yclas as an open-source PHP classifieds script. It powered thousands of marketplaces across every continent — job boards, real estate portals, auto traders, general classifieds. We learned what marketplace operators actually need: speed, reliability, and tools that get out of the way.

Why we rebuilt

Self-hosted software comes with headaches. Server management, security patches, database tuning, backups — marketplace operators shouldn’t need to be sysadmins. Yclas Neo moves everything to a fully managed SaaS model so you can focus on growing your marketplace, not maintaining infrastructure.

What's new in Neo

Yclas Neo is built on a modern stack: Laravel, Livewire, and per-tenant database isolation. Every marketplace gets its own dedicated SQLite database. SSL provisions itself automatically via Caddy. Team-based access lets multiple staff users collaborate. And the entire experience — from sign-up to first listing — takes minutes, not days.
