Alternative to ListingPro Directory WordPress Theme

Why People Look for a ListingPro Alternative

ListingPro is popular, well-marketed, and works fine for basic business directories. No argument there.

But once you try building something beyond a simple Yelp clone — a vacation rental marketplace, an hourly booking platform, an event ticketing site — you hit walls fast.

The biggest? ListingPro doesn’t support WooCommerce. At all. Their own docs say it: “WooCommerce is not required nor it’s supported.” That means you’re locked into their proprietary checkout with just 4 built-in payment gateways. Need Klarna? Square? Any of the 100+ WooCommerce payment extensions? Out of luck.

Then there’s booking. ListingPro offers basic appointment scheduling. But hourly bookings for consultants? Daily bookings for rental properties? Event tickets with multiple guest types? You’ll need their premium add-ons — MedicalProWP, EventProWP — each sold separately.

That’s why directory builders start searching for alternatives. And Listeo keeps showing up in that search for good reason.

Listeo: Built for Bookings and Marketplaces

Listeo costs $79 on ThemeForest — just $10 more than ListingPro. But that $10 buys you a completely different class of directory theme.

Booking System That Actually Works

This is Listeo’s biggest win. Where ListingPro gives you basic appointment slots, Listeo ships three booking types built-in — no add-ons, no extra purchases:

• Hourly bookings — for consultations, spa services, fitness classes, coworking spaces
• Daily bookings — Airbnb-style with check-in/check-out, weekend pricing, minimum stays
• Event bookings — ticket sales with multiple guest types (adults, children, seniors)

You can set regular vs. weekend rates, add mandatory fees (cleaning, service charges), and offer optional add-ons. Try doing that with ListingPro’s basic appointment system.

If you’re building a vacation rental marketplace or a service booking platform, this alone makes the decision easy.

Full WooCommerce Integration

ListingPro blocks WooCommerce. Listeo embraces it.

That means any WooCommerce payment gateway works — Stripe, PayPal, Square, Klarna, local gateways for any country. It also means you can build a multi-vendor marketplace (think Etsy-style) where sellers manage their own listings and products.

WooCommerce also opens up the entire plugin ecosystem. Subscriptions, memberships, invoicing, tax calculation — all plug right in. With ListingPro’s proprietary checkout, you’re stuck with what they built. Period.

Want to monetize your directory with tiered listing packages? Listeo handles that through WooCommerce with Free, Starter, and Pro tiers — controlling gallery limits, review access, booking features, and more per package level.

Elementor-First Design

ListingPro bundles both Elementor and WPBakery. Listeo goes Elementor-only — cleaner, faster, no legacy page builder bloat. Every template and layout is built for Elementor’s drag-and-drop editor.

What ListingPro Does Well

Fair is fair. ListingPro earned those sales.

Its IntelliSense search is solid — live autocomplete with “Near Me,” “Open Now,” and price filters baked in. The emoji-based review system with multi-criteria ratings looks great and gets users engaged. And the built-in ads campaign system (Spotlight Ads, Top of Search, Sidebar placements) is something most directory themes skip entirely.

ListingPro also uses OpenStreetMaps by default — no Google Maps API costs. For a pure business directory where people just browse, search, and leave reviews? It works.

But “works for basic directories” isn’t enough when you’re building a marketplace.

When to Pick Which Theme

Choose Listeo if you’re building:

• A vacation rental or Airbnb-style marketplace
• A service booking platform (hourly appointments)
• An event directory with ticket sales
• A multi-vendor marketplace (Etsy or OLX-style)
• Anything that needs WooCommerce payment flexibility

ListingPro still makes sense if:

• You only need a pure business directory (no bookings)
• You want the built-in ads campaign system (Spotlight, Top of Search)
• Emoji-based reviews matter to your audience
• You prefer a fully self-contained system without WooCommerce

Honest take? For a straightforward “find a restaurant, read reviews” directory, ListingPro is fine. But the moment bookings, payments, or marketplace features enter the picture, Listeo pulls ahead by a wide margin.

Bottom Line

ListingPro is a solid directory theme for simple use cases. But it was built for a different era — before directory sites needed booking engines, marketplace features, and AI-powered search.

Listeo costs $79 vs. ListingPro’s $69. That extra $10 gets you three booking types, WooCommerce integration, multi-vendor support, and Elementor-native design. For any directory that needs to handle transactions — not just listings — it’s the better investment.
