What Are the Best Flippa Alternatives?
Written by Christopher Krassnig - Founder - Kairos Exchange and ZenoX Media. Last reviewed 17 July 2026.
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 66,666.66 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. Their trust page says the vetting team reviews stated financials on every asset priced above 50,000 dollars, and makes no equivalent promise below that line. Wide selection, and proof you arrange yourself 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.
