Looking for a free or open-source alternative to IDX site providers? Listcraft is the closest direct swap — MIT-licensed source on GitHub, or a $39 one-time packaged install. Since you're already auditing what you pay IDX site providers every month, here are four more pay-once tools from the same catalog worth a look while you're at it — different jobs, same idea: buy the software once instead of renting it forever.
1. Listcraft — replaces IDX site providers
Self-hosted property listing site with galleries, maps, MLS-style search and lead capture. $39 once vs IDX site providers's $50–300+/mo. Free on GitHub, or the packaged installer on Whop.

Why this list is worth bookmarking
Every app above is a one-time purchase with MIT-licensed source, no accounts with us and no telemetry. None of them are trying to be the next IDX site providers — they're trying to be the last subscription you pay for that specific job.
