Nothing in common. The PRO version has at least 20+ additional features, including support for wanted and auction type classifieds. Also the price contents Brand Free something that other companies cost at least $35, don't mentioning PHP Classifieds which costs it $129!!. But what increases the cost is a simple word: SUPPORT.

I don't mind paying for quality, but I need assurance that the developer is working in my best interest, and actively addressing my concerns.

Since some days now, I'm not working alone, but with Micheal from vb-hacks.com who will be responsible for supporting my mods and also port the most popular of them to vB3. From the other side, I've prototype my work, so 70% of the files of a new mod, is a 5 min work for a global search and replace of the new filename and database name. If you give a closer look to my code you'll see that I'm always using the same style and name in my code, eg ..._items, .._item_photos, ...._item_files etc etc.

Sorry the support for the free version is limited to installation issued only. But just a simple help you can do them by reming them from the templates.

I've active license for PhotoPost since April 2002 when it was a Perl (and not PHP) script. Still waiting from Scott (if he still exists in the company), to resolve my problem with Greek characters.

vB4-CLASSIFIEDS $10.00 20 5 $100.00
Installation $2.00 0 0 $20.00
5 Support Points $3.50 25 5 $25.00

I haven't finished yet my shop. In any case:
$100 is the cost
$10 is the money credits that you'll get for your next order of any product
20 are the points that you're getting. You can use these points to "buy" special mods for my clients only. No more free mods here.
Currently forget the support points. When I'll start using them, the price of microCLASSIFIEDS will drop to around $50 with forum support. If someone needs ticketing support (fasten) the he must buy support points. But as I said, this not currently active.
