Alternativa al tema WordPress per directory ListingPro
Perché le persone cercano un’alternativa a ListingPro
ListingPro è popolare, ben promosso e funziona bene per directory aziendali di base. Su questo non si discute.
Ma non appena provi a creare qualcosa che vada oltre un semplice clone di Yelp — un marketplace per case vacanza, una piattaforma di prenotazioni a ore, un sito per la vendita di biglietti per eventi — ti scontri subito con dei limiti.
Il più grande? ListingPro non supporta WooCommerce. Per niente. Lo dicono chiaramente nella loro documentazione: “WooCommerce non è richiesto e non è supportato.” Questo significa che sei bloccato nel loro sistema di pagamento proprietario con solo 4 gateway di pagamento integrati. Ti serve Klarna? Square? Uno dei 100+ gateway di pagamento per WooCommerce? Niente da fare.
Poi c’è la parte delle prenotazioni. ListingPro offre una semplice pianificazione degli appuntamenti. Ma le prenotazioni orarie per consulenti? Prenotazioni giornaliere per immobili in affitto? Biglietti per eventi con più tipologie di partecipanti? Avrai bisogno dei loro componenti aggiuntivi premium — MedicalProWP, EventProWP — ciascuno venduto separatamente.
Ecco perché chi crea directory inizia a cercare delle alternative. E Listeo continua a comparire in quelle ricerche, e a buon motivo.
Listeo: Creato per prenotazioni e marketplace
Listeo costa 79$ su ThemeForest — appena 10$ in più di ListingPro. Ma quei 10$ ti garantiscono una categoria di tema directory completamente diversa.
Sistema di prenotazione che funziona davvero
Questo è il più grande vantaggio di Listeo. Mentre ListingPro ti offre fasce orarie di appuntamento di base, Listeo include nativamente tre tipi di prenotazione — nessun add-on, nessun acquisto extra:
- 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.

Linea di fondo
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.

FAQ
Is Listeo really better than ListingPro?
For directories that need bookings, marketplace features, or WooCommerce — yes. Listeo includes hourly, daily, and event booking built-in, plus full WooCommerce support. ListingPro is better suited for pure business directories without booking or payment needs.
Why doesn’t ListingPro support WooCommerce?
ListingPro uses its own proprietary checkout system with 4 built-in payment gateways. This “all-in-one” approach means you can’t use any WooCommerce extensions, payment gateways, or marketplace plugins. Listeo takes the opposite approach — full WooCommerce integration gives you access to hundreds of payment and marketplace extensions.
How much does Listeo cost compared to ListingPro?
Listeo is $79 and ListingPro is $69 on ThemeForest — both one-time purchases. The $10 difference gets you three booking types (hourly, daily, event), WooCommerce integration, and multi-vendor marketplace features that ListingPro doesn’t offer.
Can I build an Airbnb-style site with ListingPro?
Not really. ListingPro lacks daily booking with check-in/check-out dates, weekend pricing, and guest type selection. Listeo was specifically designed for vacation rental marketplaces with full Airbnb-style booking functionality built in.
Does Listeo support listing packages for monetization?
Yes. Listeo offers WooCommerce-based listing packages (Free, Starter, Pro tiers) where you control gallery limits, review access, booking features, video sections, and coupons per package level. You can also create custom packages with any pricing structure.
