Where Flippa is different
Flippa spans a broad range of digital-business and asset types and supports self-service plus broker-led selling options. Buyers can use the platform's marketplace and transaction tooling without the site being limited to one narrow startup category.
Where Acquire.com is different
Acquire.com is startup-centric and currently restricts deeper buyer access by plan. Its official 2026 subscription terms list Basic as free, Premium at $390 per year for startups up to $250,000 TTM revenue, and Platinum at $780 per year for access to startups of all sizes.
Seller economics
Acquire.com currently publishes monthly seller listing fees from $25 to $100 depending on asking price, plus a 6% to 8% closing fee. Flippa uses a different tiered structure with self-service packages and success fees, plus broker-led options. Compare the all-in cost at your realistic sale value.
