What TrustMRR does

Verify the business

Founders connect their payment provider so revenue comes straight from the source. Connected analytics, search, and GitHub accounts add context about traffic, demand, and development activity.

How verification works

Buy with a head start

Explore SaaS, AI products, mobile apps, and other software businesses with financial evidence already on the page. Compare revenue, growth, asking prices, and multiples, then speak directly with the founder.

What makes TrustMRR different

Financial proof, straight from the source

In the AI era, a polished website and a convincing revenue screenshot take minutes to create. TrustMRR connects to actual payment providers, so buyers start with recorded financial activity and founders can prove what they have built.

Your startup. Your asking price.

We do not impose a valuation, demand a lower multiple, or require a minimum monthly revenue to list. You choose the price; buyers decide whether it makes sense for them.

A market that runs on rules

Marketplace ranking is calculated automatically from signals such as price, revenue, growth, and recency. There is no broker hand-picking favorites; optional paid listing plans and sponsorships provide additional visibility under the platform’s rules.

Built to get a deal done

Public financial evidence cuts out the back-and-forth just to establish whether a business is real. Direct conversations, built-in acquisition documents, and integrated escrow keep the next step close at hand.

Keep more of the deal

A flat 3% platform closing fee is split equally: 1.5% for the buyer and 1.5% for the seller. Marketplace listings start at $29 once, with no recurring listing bill; Escrow.com fees are additional and also split equally.

How TrustMRR works

Connect and list

The seller connects a supported payment provider, completes the startup profile, and chooses an asking price. Analytics and other integrations can add more evidence to the listing.

Talk directly and agree

Buyers review the data, contact the founder through TrustMRR, and make an offer. Both parties handle questions, diligence, and negotiations in the dashboard, with email notifications to keep things moving.

Sign, fund, and transfer

Use the built-in NDA, letter of intent, and asset purchase agreement as the deal requires. The buyer funds Escrow.com, the seller transfers the agreed assets, and escrow releases payment when its conditions are met.

You work directly with the other party, at a pace you agree together. Support is available from the dashboard. Explore the acquisition documents and the closing process.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of businesses can I buy or sell?

TrustMRR is built for software businesses: SaaS, AI products, mobile apps, developer tools, and other digital products. It serves founders selling what they have built and buyers looking for an operating product with verifiable financial activity.

What does verified mean on TrustMRR?

Revenue comes from a connected payment provider, including services such as Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Paddle, and RevenueCat. Traffic and other metrics come from additional integrations when connected; descriptions, asking prices, and seller-reported information are distinct from provider-verified data.

Do buyers still need to do due diligence?

Yes. TrustMRR puts financial verification and connected business signals up front, giving buyers a substantial head start. Buyers still review the code, expenses, ownership, customer concentration, transferability, and deal terms before acquiring a startup.

Do I need a minimum revenue or an approved valuation?

No minimum monthly revenue or prescribed acquisition multiple is required. Connect a supported payment provider, complete the required listing details, and set your own asking price.

Am I buying the company or the product’s assets?

TrustMRR’s acquisition flow uses an asset purchase agreement (APA) for the agreed software assets, such as code, domains, and transferable accounts. It is not a share purchase of the seller’s legal entity; either party can still sign the agreement through their own company.

How much does TrustMRR cost?

Browsing and adding a startup to the verified revenue database are free; a marketplace listing starts at a one-time $29. At closing, the 3% TrustMRR fee and additional Escrow.com fees are split equally between buyer and seller.
