Buy Sell Startups is an online marketplace for Micro-SaaS products, internet businesses, and digital assets. Its core goal is to connect sellers with potential buyers. The platform emphasizes that it is not a broker, financial advisor, or transaction intermediary; acquisition negotiations and execution are handled directly by buyers and sellers, and it states that it does not charge a success fee on completed deals.
The platform covers listing, discovery, filtering, messaging, and LOI submission. Free users can browse a limited set of active listings, filter by category and price, and view summaries. After upgrading, buyers can unlock full listings, seller details, website information, and message founders directly. Its “5 contacts” means users can initiate direct conversations with up to 5 sellers per month. Sellers may then share a Stripe dashboard, Loom demo, or meeting invitation, after which the process can move into LOI, due diligence, and closing. Paid members can also receive weekly deal alerts based on niche, revenue range, and category preferences, and save listings to a watchlist.
On the buyer side, there are Free, Yearly, and Lifetime plans. Free costs $0 and hides the project name, founder, URL, and full description. Yearly is $199/year. Lifetime is a one-time payment of $499 and includes future feature updates, priority support, and early access to new listings. On the seller side, a one-time listing fee is charged based on asking price: listings below $5,000 are free, while the highest tier, $50,000 and above, costs $299. There is also a $49 Growth Pack and Due Diligence Package. Payments are processed via Stripe.
The advantages are its low barrier to entry, clear pricing structure, no success commission, and a direct-founder-contact model that is lighter than a traditional brokerage process. LOI generation, deal alerts, and listing tracking also fit well with small acquisition scenarios. The limitations are that the free version provides relatively little information, and the annual plan includes only 5 initial contacts per month. The platform also does not disclose enterprise-grade capabilities such as API access, team permissions, compliance certifications, or self-hosting. In addition, the pricing page says the Yearly plan has a 7-day refund policy if no contacts or LOIs have been initiated, while the terms state that fees are strictly non-refundable. This creates an inconsistency around refunds, so buyers should confirm before purchasing.
It is suitable for indie developers, small agencies, entrepreneurs, and investment-oriented buyers looking to acquire Micro-SaaS products. It is also a low-cost way for digital asset sellers to publish projects. The source text does not provide information on access from China, so availability is unknown. Since payments rely on Stripe, users in mainland China may need a usable international payment method. Alternatives worth watching include Acquire.com, Flippa, Microns, Tiny Acquisitions, as well as domestic startup communities and SaaS M&A channels.
