SeekScripts is a directory of PHP scripts and ready-made website systems. We list classified ads scripts, job board scripts, real estate portals, e-commerce and shopping cart scripts, CMS and website builders, clone scripts, directories, booking systems and many more, so you can compare them and launch your website faster.

Yes. Browsing, searching and comparing scripts is completely free. Vendors can submit a standard listing for free or upgrade to a featured listing for extra visibility.

No. SeekScripts is a directory. Every listing sends you to the vendor's own website, where you can see the demo, pricing and license terms and buy directly from the author.

Every submission is checked manually before it is published. We verify that the website works, that the product is a real PHP script or website system and that the description is accurate. Spam, dead links and misleading listings are rejected.

A PHP script is a ready-made software application written in PHP that runs on a web server with a MySQL database. Instead of building a website from scratch, you install the script and customise it to launch a classifieds site, job portal, marketplace, directory and so on.

A clone script is a PHP application that offers similar functionality to a well-known website (for example an auction, marketplace or classifieds platform). It is a fast starting point for a business, but you should always use your own brand, design and content. Read our article on the legality of clone scripts for details.

Start from your business model and the features you cannot launch without. Then compare scripts by license and source-code access, update history, demo quality, hosting requirements and vendor support. Our buyer's checklist on the blog walks through each point.

Not for installation and day-to-day management. Most scripts come with an installer and an administration panel. Programming skills (or a freelancer) are only needed for deeper customisation.

Most scripts run on standard shared hosting with a current PHP version and MySQL or MariaDB. Check the vendor's requirements for PHP extensions such as GD, cURL and mbstring before you buy.
