Where to Sell a Micro-SaaS in 2026: The Main Marketplaces Compared

Most micro-SaaS founders pick a marketplace the way they pick a domain registrar. They go with the name they have heard of. Then the fee shows up at closing.

The marketplaces are not interchangeable. One is free. One charges a $10,000 minimum. Some want a monthly fee while you wait. Some will not list you at all until you have a year of profit.

Here are the main places to sell a micro-SaaS in 2026, what each charges sellers on its own published terms, and which deal size each one fits. Fees were checked on each official site on October 21, 2026.

1. StartExus: free to list, free to sell

StartExus is a marketplace for online businesses from $5K to $1M, including SaaS, apps and content sites.

• No platform fees. No listing fee, no success fee, no monthly fee and no buyer fee, per the StartExus FAQ.
• Human review. A person reviews every listing before it goes live, with checks for seller identity, domain ownership, revenue and traffic.
• Escrow is optional. Escrow.com is recommended for closing and charges its own fee, which buyer and seller agree how to split.
• Best fit. Small SaaS, side projects and apps where a percentage fee would eat a real slice of the exit.

2. Microns: no listing fee, commission on sale

Microns focuses on small startups and side projects, and its pricing is easy to read.

• Pay on exit only. No listing fee. The seller pays 10% on sales from $1,000, 8% from $10,000 and 6% from $100,000.
• Reviewed listings. Microns reviews and edits submissions before they are published.
• Deals stay on the platform. Its terms require buyers to use the built-in offer feature.
• Best fit. Small, clean SaaS where you want a curated buyer list and are fine paying 8 to 10% of a small sale.

3. Little Exits (formerly Tiny Acquisitions): the smallest deals

Tiny Acquisitions rebranded as Little Exits. It still targets very small projects, including pre-revenue ones.

• Small entry fee. A one-time submission fee of $5 for listings at or below $1K, or $15 above $1K.
• 9.5% success fee. Charged on completed transactions, per its pricing FAQ.
• No platform due diligence. Its FAQ says it leaves due diligence to buyers.
• Best fit. Pre-revenue tools and very small projects that bigger marketplaces would turn away.

4. Flippa: open marketplace, listing package plus success fee

Flippa calls itself the number one marketplace for online businesses. It covers SaaS, apps, ecommerce and content sites.

• Upfront package. Self-serve packages start at $29 for assets under $10K. From $10K to under $100K they run $49 to $699 per six-month term, depending on band and reach.
• 10% success fee. Flippa's pricing page shows 10% for sales under $500K, stepping down to 5% only at $50M and above.
• Brokered above $100K. Larger sales go through Flippa brokers with a single upfront payment for a six-month term.
• Best fit. Sellers who want maximum reach, auctions or a broad buyer pool and can absorb 10%.

Pro tip: A bigger buyer pool can close at a higher price, so the cheapest platform is not automatically the best. Subtract each fee at your floor price and decide with the gap in front of you.

5. Acquire.com: curated, monthly fee plus closing fee

Acquire.com is built around startups and SaaS, with qualified buyers and help from its team on offers.

• Monthly listing fee. $25 a month for asking prices up to $250K, $50 from $250K to $1M and $100 above $1M.
• Closing fee. 8%, 7% or 6% for the same bands, due only if you sell. The final rate follows the final purchase price.
• Tools included. Its help center lists buyer access, offer support, legal document builders and escrow.
• Best fit. Clean, growing SaaS that will sell in a few months and benefits from a curated process.

6. FE International and Empire Flippers: vetted, profit-first

Both run vetted, broker-style processes. They fit the top of the micro-SaaS range, not the bottom.

• FE International marketplace. A single closing fee of 5% for asking prices under $250K, 4% from $250K to $1M and 3% above $1M.
• FE International advisory. A full sell-side process for businesses valued at roughly $1M and up. Fees are not published on the pricing page, so ask.
• Empire Flippers requirements. At least $2,000 a month in average net profit over 12 months, 12 months of revenue history and three months of analytics.
• Empire Flippers commission. No listing fee. A $10,000 commission up to $66,666, 15% up to $700K, then lower blended rates above that.
• Best fit. Profitable SaaS with a year of clean books and a price well into five or six figures.

Worked example: Embed Notion Pages is listed on StartExus at $30,000 on $1,400 MRR, seller-reported, with 110 subscribers. That is about 1.8x annual revenue. On published terms, a $30,000 sale costs $0 in platform fees on StartExus, $1,500 on the FE International marketplace, $2,400 on Microns, $2,400 plus $25 a month on Acquire.com, $2,865 on Little Exits and $3,049 to $3,599 on Flippa. Empire Flippers' minimum commission is $10,000. Escrow is extra everywhere.

Your 15-minute marketplace checklist

1. Write your asking price and the lowest net you would accept.
2. Check whether you qualify: profit, revenue history, analytics.
3. Work out every fee at your price: listing, monthly, success, escrow share.
4. Decide how long you can stay listed. Monthly fees add up.
5. Match the buyer pool to your deal: curated, open or founder-to-founder.
6. List free first, then add a paid channel only if the math still works.
7. Read each platform's current terms before you sign. Fees change.

The bottom line

There is no single best marketplace for a micro-SaaS. There is the right one for your price, your profit and your patience.

Under $100K, fees take the biggest share, so start where listing costs nothing and keep paid platforms for when the buyer pool justifies the cut. Above that, a curated process can pay for itself. Run the numbers either way.
