A live ranking of the ten SaaS businesses on Startup Index that score best right now on a composite of ROI (50%), payback speed (30%), and seller-certified margin (20%). Every entry has TrustMRR-verified MRR and a margin the seller certified — no assumed values.
The ranking runs live over the current listing index. The order can change between visits: new listings get scored the moment they publish, and the composite score rewards deals where cashflow velocity (fast ROI + short payback) is backed by cashflow quality (real, seller-certified margin). If a listing uses our 80% default margin, it doesn't appear here — this page is deliberately the strictest surface on the site.

A composite score: 50% ROI (capped at 100%), 30% payback speed (60-month cap, inverted so faster = higher), 20% margin (capped at 80%). Only listings with a seller-certified margin qualify — assumed-margin listings are excluded so nothing lands here without real cost data behind it.
Every page load. The ranking runs live over the current listing index, so a new listing added yesterday is ranked today. The 'Updated {Month}' stamp reflects the current calendar month; the underlying scores update in real time.
Because ROI alone doesn't tell you if the cashflow is sustainable. A 90% ROI SaaS with 40% margin is a different animal than a 60% ROI SaaS with 70% margin — the second one is more resilient to a bad quarter. The composite score rewards both cashflow velocity (ROI + payback) and cashflow quality (margin).
0.65+ means the listing sits in the top decile: ROI over 40%, payback under 30 months, and seller-certified margin over 50%. 0.50–0.65 is the strong-value zone. Below 0.40, either the price is out of line with the cashflow or one of the three inputs is weak.
By definition on this page — yes. The composite score requires seller-certified margin (assumed-margin listings are excluded) and every listing here shows positive monthly net profit. That's a stricter bar than 'has revenue' — the seller has to have provided real cost data.
Treat it as a first-pass filter, not a buy list. The top 3–5 are worth reading in full and inquiring on. The middle of the list is worth a quick scan for niche fit — a rank-9 SaaS in your domain often beats a rank-2 in a domain you don't understand. Numbers don't compensate for founder-market mismatch.
The composite score requires seller-certified margin data, which not every listing includes. In months where the pool of margin-certified listings is small, the ranking may return 5–8 entries instead of 10. You can browse the full inventory at /buy-saas without that constraint.
MRR is pulled live from Stripe, Paddle, or RevenueCat via TrustMRR. Asking price and margin are seller-reported. ROI, payback, and monthly net profit are computed from those two inputs — the formulas are documented on the ROI and payback calculator pages.
No. This ranking is a screening tool — it filters out listings with weak or unverifiable economics, but it can't tell you whether the code is maintainable, the customers are sticky, or the traffic is real. Do the diligence checklist on every listing you inquire on, regardless of rank.
Those pages rank on a single dimension and include listings with assumed margin. This page requires seller-certified margin and weights three dimensions together. If you want the extreme end of one axis, use those pages; if you want overall best-value right now, use this one.
