Micro-SaaS for Sale

What counts as a micro-SaaS?

A micro-SaaS is a small software product that customers pay for on a recurring basis, usually built and run by one person or a very small team. It solves one narrow problem, such as invoice reminders or a Chrome-based screenshot tool, and rarely needs more than a few hours of upkeep per week.

Dollar cut-offs vary by author. One widely read buyer's guide puts the range at roughly a few hundred dollars up to about $20,000 in monthly recurring revenue (MRR), meaning the subscription revenue you can expect each month. On this page, micro-SaaS means any listing in the SaaS category asking $100,000 or less.

How much does a micro-SaaS cost?

Most are cheap. Of the 241 listings in the grid on this page, 172 ask $10,000 or less, 55 ask between $10,000 and $50,000, and 14 ask between $50,000 and $100,000. Many of the cheapest are pre-revenue or very early projects, so a low price does not always mean a paying customer base.

Price tracks monthly revenue, but not in a straight line. The table groups the 96 listings that report revenue into three bands.

What multiple do micro-SaaS businesses trade at?

We calculate the asking multiple as asking price divided by 12 times reported monthly revenue. Across the 96 listings with both numbers, the median is 3.4x, and the middle half sits between 1.8x and 10.4x. That spread is wide because a $300-a-month product with a $2,000 price tag looks very expensive on paper while costing almost nothing in absolute terms.

Treat these as asking prices, not closed deals. Asking prices are an opening position, and buyers negotiate. Buyer guides commonly cite 2x to 4x annual revenue for healthy small SaaS, which puts the 3.4x median inside that range, although the cheapest listings skew far higher.

How do I check a micro-SaaS before I buy?

Every figure on a listing is a claim until you see it in the payment processor. Stripe, Paddle and Lemon Squeezy all let a seller show a buyer live dashboards or export raw charges, and a seller who refuses is telling you something. Work through these checks before you sign anything:

1. Confirm what the revenue number means. Some listings report trailing 30-day charges rather than true MRR, and charge volume includes one-off payments and refunds that recurring revenue does not.
2. Ask for a Stripe (or Paddle or Lemon Squeezy) export of payouts for the last 12 months and match it to the bank deposits.
3. Check revenue concentration. If two customers pay for half of the total, the real risk is much higher than the headline suggests.
4. Measure churn: how many subscribers cancelled in each of the last six months, and why.
5. Verify you will own everything, including the domain, repository, app store accounts and any contractor-written code.
6. Estimate the weekly work and founder dependence. Count support tickets, failed payments and server issues so you know what you are taking over, and what breaks if the founder leaves.

How does buying a micro-SaaS work?

Browse the grid, open a listing, and send the founder an offer from the listing page. Once you both agree on a price, the payment runs through Escrow.com, an independent escrow provider that holds the money until you have received the assets. Acqora's fee is a flat 5% of the sale price, split 2.5% to the buyer and 2.5% to the seller, and listing and browsing are free.

Methodology

Figures come from a read-only query of the live listings database on October 8, 2026. The set is every startup in the SaaS category marked for sale with an asking price between $1 and $100,000, which gives 241 listings, 82 of them anonymous. Multiples use only the 96 listings with revenue above zero. Revenue is whatever the listing reports and may be trailing 30-day charges rather than MRR.

No listing in this set has been verified against a billing provider, so the numbers describe what sellers are asking, not what buyers have paid. Medians are used throughout because a handful of outliers would distort averages.
