AcquireBase
A free marketplace where founders list side-projects and small SaaS apps for sale, and buyers browse without either side paying a commission.
🔗 Visit AcquireBase
Description
It's like a classifieds site, but for buying and selling small internet businesses instead of used furniture. A solo founder whose side-project has stalled can list it, and someone looking for a starter business can buy it, without a broker taking a cut.
AcquireBase charges 0% commission on successful sales, with transactions secured through Escrow.com. Listings span micro-SaaS apps, Chrome extensions, Shopify stores and other side-projects. An optional $199/year Premium tier gives buyers 7-day early access to new listings. The platform is run by Fore Studio, which also operates StartupBase, and describes its community as thousands of entrepreneurs.
💬 Our review
The short version: the 0% commission is the real draw — Acquire.com and Flippa both take a cut (typically 5-15%) on successful sales, so for a small side-project sale, AcquireBase can save real money, though smaller marketplaces generally mean fewer buyers and sellers, and less liquidity, than the bigger incumbents.
Against Acquire.com and Flippa — larger, more established, but both charging success fees — AcquireBase's commission-free model resembles the original free-to-list pitch that MicroAcquire (now folded into Acquire.com) once made. The $199/year Premium early-access tier is optional, not required to transact, which keeps the core commission-free promise intact even for buyers who skip it.
