What are the best Flippa alternatives?

The main Flippa alternatives are Empire Flippers for curated six-figure businesses, Acquire.com for SaaS and startup-style deals, Motion Invest for smaller content sites, and traditional brokers like Website Closers for seven-figure companies. Kairos Exchange is the newest option, built for Shopify stores specifically: every listing's revenue is verified from real order data before buyers ever see it.

How the alternatives differ

Empire Flippers charges no listing fee and takes a flat 10,000 dollar commission on sales up to about 66,700 dollars, then tiered percentages above that. Acquire.com charges a small monthly listing fee plus a 6 to 8 percent closing fee. Motion Invest lists for free and takes a success fee that slides from 20 percent on small deals down to 5 percent past half a million. Website Closers publishes no rates and works success-based on seven-figure deals.

Where Flippa fits

Flippa has the biggest catalog and the lowest barrier: listing packages start at 29 dollars plus a 10 percent success fee. The trade-off is vetting. Listings under 50,000 dollars rely mostly on seller-connected data, and human review only kicks in above that line. Wide selection, thin proof at the low end.

Where Kairos fits

Kairos is opening its verified inventory now, with a waitlist for first access. The model is different by design: revenue is reconciled against read-only Shopify order data before a listing goes live, so the vetting happens up front instead of being your problem. And if you are buying on another marketplace anyway, the Kairos due diligence service will check that store's raw data for you.
