BizBuySell Alternatives

ROI & payback layer for verified listings

BizBuySell has the widest inventory of businesses for sale, but almost all of it is main-street — laundromats, restaurants, service shops. Startup Index is the SaaS-and-app filter on top: TrustMRR-verified revenue with ROI and payback on every card, so you spend evaluation time on deals that actually pencil out.

TrustMRR-verified
Every listing here is backed by live Stripe, Paddle, or RevenueCat data via TrustMRR. No screenshots.
ROI shown upfront
Every card shows calculated annual ROI %, so you compare on returns before you ever click into a listing.
Payback in months
Know exactly how many months it takes for the deal to pay itself back. Nobody else shows this.

Startup Index vs BizBuySell

Startup Index is not a competing marketplace. It is a curation and decision layer that sits on top of TrustMRR-verified listings and adds the metrics acquirers actually decide on. Competitor data is based on publicly documented pricing and features at time of writing.

Why acquirers use Startup Index alongside BizBuySell

SaaS-native metrics
BizBuySell is built for main-street businesses. Startup Index is built for online, recurring-revenue deals — the metrics on the card reflect that.
Verified revenue
TrustMRR pulls MRR live from the payment processor. No wading through unverified listings to find one worth evaluating.
Decision math on the card
ROI and payback are visible before you click. That's not something BizBuySell surfaces even on premium listings.

BizBuySell alternatives: FAQ

Is there a BizBuySell alternative just for SaaS?

Yes. Startup Index focuses only on SaaS and mobile apps, with TrustMRR-verified MRR and computed ROI and payback on every listing card. BizBuySell's SaaS section exists but sits inside a much broader main-street inventory that isn't optimized for online-business diligence.

Does Startup Index charge listing fees?

No. Browsing and comparing is free. Startup Index doesn't broker the sale — you transact wherever the listing originates.

Are BizBuySell listings verified?

BizBuySell relies primarily on seller-reported and broker-supplied numbers. Startup Index only surfaces listings whose MRR is verified live via TrustMRR (Stripe, Paddle, or RevenueCat).

Can I find sub-$100k SaaS on a BizBuySell alternative?

Yes. Filter Startup Index by asking price to see sub-$100k SaaS and app acquisitions with verified MRR, ROI, and payback on every card.

Why do SaaS buyers prefer Startup Index over BizBuySell?

Because the two decision numbers — annual ROI percent and payback in months — are on the listing card, and revenue is verified before the listing goes live. Neither is the default on BizBuySell.

Is Startup Index better for online business acquisitions?

For SaaS and mobile apps specifically, yes. For content sites, Amazon FBA, or offline businesses, BizBuySell has the wider inventory.

How is verification different from BizBuySell?

BizBuySell verification is optional and largely manual. TrustMRR verification is live and automatic — the MRR shown is whatever the payment processor reports today, not a screenshot from months ago.

Do brokers list on Startup Index like they do on BizBuySell?

Startup Index doesn't broker deals or take a cut. Brokers and direct sellers list, buyers evaluate on ROI and payback, and the transaction happens on whichever venue the listing originates.
