Why businesses build their own classifieds

Site builders limit logic. A custom platform is your product, your rules and monetization.

Your traffic & database

Users, listings and deal history stay with you — not on a third-party marketplace.

Niche without mass-market noise

Vertical boards for rental, events, auto, real estate or B2B beat generic giants in a focused segment.

Monetization your way

Boost, PRO accounts, subscriptions, transaction fees, ads — tuned to your P&L.

Integrations

CRM, ERP, payments, Telegram, SMS, analytics, partner API — built for your workflow.

SEO & brand

Every listing and category is indexable. Your domain, URL structure and content drive organic growth.

Control & moderation

Your publishing rules, anti-fraud, seller verification and admin — no third-party policy risk.

What it works for

Classifieds are not only buy & sell — they are service marketplaces, rental and B2B catalogs.

Rental & hire

B2B market

FAQ

How much does a classifieds platform cost?

From 380,000 ₽ per project on the homepage. Final price depends on modules, integrations, design and mobile apps. Fixed quote after the brief.

Custom vs site builder?

Builders are faster to start but limit logic, SEO, integrations and scale. Your platform is a business asset you control.

How long does development take?

MVP with catalog, publish, search and cabinet — typically 25–40 days. Heaviest project type; extra modules ship in phases — no “months of waiting”.

Do I need a mobile app?

Responsive web + PWA is enough at launch. Native iOS/Android makes sense with large audience and push needs — I build those too.

Do you handle SEO?

Yes: URL semantics, sitemap, meta tags, Schema.org, speed and mobile layout from day one.
