MyListing Directory & Listing WordPress Theme: What to Compare Before You Buy

Quick answer and who this guide is for

This guide is for buyers comparing MyListing against the most relevant ThemeForest directory and listing competitors rather than shopping on logo recognition alone. The marketplace facts captured here show that MyListing sits at $119 with 21,717 sales and a 4.80-star average from about 1,000 reviews, while ListingPro is $69 with 33,123 sales and a 4.85-star average from about 2,500 reviews. Listify is $69 with 19,473 sales and a 4.39-star average from about 1,100 reviews. TownHub is $59 with 1,774 sales and a 3.95-star average from 92 reviews. Those numbers do not decide the purchase by themselves, but they do show where buyer confidence is strongest and where caution is warranted. [1][2][3][4]

ThemeForest still lists hundreds of directory and listing WordPress themes, so the real buying task is not finding a theme. It is identifying which product has the best mix of marketplace traction, update cadence, compatibility fit, and ownership risk for the intended site. [5]

• Buy MyListing if the priority is flexible listing types, a proven sales history, and an Elementor-based build process.
• Buy ListingPro if the goal is an end-to-end directory system with fewer third-party moving parts.
• Buy Listify if the buyer prefers a mature ecosystem built around WP Job Manager and does not mind extra plugin dependencies.
• Buy TownHub only if the lower price and bundled features outweigh the smaller review base and lower rating.

How the options were shortlisted

The buying decision is mostly about operating model. MyListing and ListingPro both present themselves as full directory solutions, but they approach the problem differently. MyListing emphasizes multiple listing types with custom fields and Elementor-based building. ListingPro emphasizes an end-to-end directory stack that reduces dependency sprawl. Listify is more modular and explicitly depends on WP Job Manager and WooCommerce for its core path. TownHub advertises a broad feature set including payments, bookings, memberships, maps, and a companion mobile app, which sounds attractive but also deserves extra scrutiny because its review count is much smaller than the larger incumbents. [1][2][3][4]

The shortlist below was built from current ThemeForest product pages and ThemeForest category pages, not from marketing copy alone. That matters because directory themes often promise similar outcomes while differing significantly in pricing, plugin dependency, update rhythm, and market validation. [5]

The shortlist includes the theme named in the keyword, MyListing, plus the most directly comparable directory themes on ThemeForest that compete on the same buyer intent. Each product is an official marketplace item with enough public traction to support a credible purchase comparison. [1][2][3][4]

Because the available snippets do not expose every compatibility field for every item, this guide avoids pretending to have verified more than the captured page content. Where the page clearly exposed requirements or compatibility, those details are included. Where they were not visible in the captured source, the article says so rather than inventing a matrix. [1][2][3][4]

• MyListing is the best fit for flexible directory builds that may need multiple listing types and a visual page builder workflow.
• ListingPro is the best fit for buyers who want more of the directory logic bundled into the theme itself.
• Listify is the best fit for buyers already comfortable with WP Job Manager and its add-on ecosystem.
• TownHub is the best fit for a tighter budget and simpler initial spend, provided the buyer accepts a smaller track record.
• Official ThemeForest item page and author verified for every named product.
• Current price, sales count, rating, and review count checked from the item or category page.
• Last updated date captured where visible on the product page.
• Compatibility and dependency notes extracted when the product page exposed them.

Detailed option reviews with best-for and limitations

MyListing, ListingPro, Listify, and TownHub sit in the same broad directory and listing category, but they are not interchangeable. MyListing is the most obvious choice when the buyer wants a highly customizable directory theme centered on Elementor and multiple listing types. ListingPro is the least fragmented option if the buyer wants a directory stack that leans toward built-in functionality. Listify is the most conservative mainstream buy for teams that already know WP Job Manager. TownHub is the value play, but the smaller review pool and lower rating make it a higher-risk bet for a serious commercial launch. [1][2][3][4]

Hands-on observations should be kept separate from marketplace claims. Based on the product copy and product structure visible on the captured pages, MyListing and ListingPro both position themselves as full-feature directory systems, but MyListing is more explicitly tied to Elementor-driven page building and custom listing types, while ListingPro is more explicit about reducing the need for third-party plugins. Listify openly depends on WP Job Manager and WooCommerce, which may be desirable for buyers who prefer that ecosystem but not for those who want a more self-contained stack. TownHub markets itself as broad and all-in-one, but the lower review count means the market has validated it less than the larger contenders. [1][2][3][4]

MyListing - Directory & Listing WordPress Theme

MyListing - Directory & Listing WordPress Theme is the namesake option for this keyword and the strongest fit when the buyer wants a polished directory theme with strong custom-listing flexibility. The marketplace page identifies 27collective as the author, lists Elementor as the page-building approach, and describes the theme as a directory and listings WordPress theme with multiple listing types and custom fields. Public marketplace signals are solid: the page shows $119 pricing, 21,717 sales, a 4.80-star rating, about 1,000 reviews, and a last update of 08 May 26. [1]

The main commercial advantage is versatility. That is also the main reason to buy it carefully. Buyers who need unusual listing schemas, distinct directory types, or a front-end content workflow may get good value from MyListing. Buyers who only need a simple local business directory, however, may be paying for flexibility they never use. [1]

• Best for: buyers who need flexible listing types, custom fields, and a mainstream Marketplace-proven directory theme.
• Price and traction: $119, 21,717 sales, 4.80 stars from about 1,000 reviews.
• Update check: last updated 08 May 26.
• Limitations: it is the most expensive option in this comparison and its full compatibility matrix was not visible in the captured snippet.

ListingPro - Directory & Listing WordPress Theme

ListingPro - Directory & Listing WordPress Theme is the strongest market competitor in this set by sales volume and rating. The product page identifies CridioStudio as the author, shows $69 pricing, 33,123 sales, a 4.85-star average from about 2,500 reviews, and labels the item recently updated. The page copy positions it as an advanced and complete directory theme designed to reduce reliance on many third-party plugins. [2]

The practical appeal is that ListingPro aims to bundle more of the directory logic into the theme itself. The practical tradeoff is the usual one for integrated systems: if the theme does not match the buyer’s workflow, replacing it later can be more painful than replacing a slimmer theme plus separate plugins. [2]

• Best for: buyers who want a more end-to-end directory system with fewer external dependencies.
• Price and traction: $69, 33,123 sales, 4.85 stars from about 2,500 reviews.
• Update check: recently updated, but the exact update date was not visible in the captured snippet.
• Limitations: the page copy is strong on promise, so buyers should verify the exact plugin and workflow fit before purchase.

Listify - Directory & Business Listing WordPress Theme

Listify - Directory & Business Listing WordPress Theme is a long-running directory option from Astoundify and still a serious contender. The item page shows $69 pricing, 19,473 sales, a 4.39-star rating from about 1,100 reviews, and a last update of 18 July 2026. It also clearly states that WP Job Manager and WooCommerce are required, with several premium add-ons listed as optional for additional functions. [3]

That dependency profile is not a flaw if the buyer wants that ecosystem. It is a limitation if the buyer expects the theme alone to do more of the work. For teams that want a recognized theme with a documented path and are comfortable adding plugins as needed, Listify remains viable. [3]

• Best for: buyers who are already comfortable with WP Job Manager and want a mature directory theme around that stack.
• Price and traction: $69, 19,473 sales, 4.39 stars from about 1,100 reviews.
• Compatibility and dependency notes: requires WP Job Manager and WooCommerce; the page also lists optional premium plugins for extra functionality.
• Limitations: lower review rating than MyListing and ListingPro, and more plugin dependency than the most self-contained pitch.

TownHub - Directory & Listing WordPress Theme

TownHub - Directory & Listing WordPress Theme by cththemes is the cheaper option among the four reviewed here at $59. The captured ThemeForest page shows 1,774 sales, a 3.95-star rating from 92 reviews, and a last update of 11 May 26. The page copy promises a broad feature set for directory use cases, including payments, bookings, memberships, maps, and a companion mobile app. [4]

That feature breadth makes TownHub interesting, but the market evidence is thinner than the evidence for MyListing, ListingPro, or Listify. For a buyer planning to spend real money and time on a directory business, the smaller review base should be treated as a meaningful risk signal rather than an afterthought. [4]

• Best for: lower-budget launches that still want an all-in-one directory theme pitch.
• Price and traction: $59, 1,774 sales, 3.95 stars from 92 reviews.
• Update check: recently updated, with the item page showing a last update of 11 May 26.
• Limitations: the review count is much smaller than the top contenders, which makes the market signal less convincing.

Final recommendation by use case

On balance, MyListing is the best buy for a broad set of commercial directory projects, especially when the buyer expects multiple listing types or a more design-led build. ListingPro is the strongest alternative if the buyer cares most about all-in-one convenience and market validation. Listify is the conservative ecosystem choice, while TownHub is the value candidate that deserves a stricter pre-purchase test. [1][2][3][4]

If the buyer is deciding only between MyListing and ListingPro, the answer is simple. Choose MyListing when flexibility and Elementor-driven editing matter most. Choose ListingPro when the project benefits more from a bundled, directory-first stack than from maximal theme flexibility. [1][2][3][4]

• MyListing is the best fit for buyers who need flexibility and custom listing structures.
• ListingPro is the best fit for buyers who value a more integrated directory system and strong market traction.
• Listify is the best fit for teams already committed to WP Job Manager.
• TownHub is the best fit for cost-sensitive buyers who accept higher marketplace risk.

Pricing, licensing, compatibility, and update checks

Price, rating, sales, and last-update data should be treated as live marketplace checks, not static facts. The figures captured here reflect the current ThemeForest pages consulted for this article, but buyers should still recheck them immediately before purchase because directory themes are actively maintained and their public stats can change. [1][2][3][4]

Compatibility deserves special attention. Listify clearly exposes required and optional plugin dependencies on its item page, while MyListing’s captured snippet emphasizes Elementor and custom listing capabilities. Buyers should verify the exact plugin stack and WordPress version fit on the live item page before buying, especially if the site must ship on a specific hosting environment or with a constrained plugin policy. [1][3]

TownHub’s smaller review base makes it the most caution-sensitive purchase in the group. A lower price does not automatically mean a lower total cost if the implementation ends up needing more support effort, more testing, or a later replacement. [4]

• Check the official item page for the current price, rating, and sales count before checkout.
• Confirm the last update date and software version support on the product page.
• Verify required plugins and optional add-ons before committing to a build.
• Treat review volume as a proxy for market confidence, not as a guarantee of fit.
