7 Best Marketplaces to Sell Vibe-Coded Apps in 2026
Short answer
Short answer: There isn't one app marketplace for every vibe-coded app, the right one depends almost entirely on whether you're selling a $500 weekend project or a SaaS doing real revenue. Pre-revenue and hobby builds move on marketplaces built specifically for that (ExitBid, SideProjectors, IndieMaker); anything with real traction fits better on Flippa, Acquire.com, or a vetted broker like Empire Flippers. Across 190 tracked private SaaS deals, themedian sale multiple came out to 3.7x EBITDA, ranging from 1.6x to 9.3x depending on growth rate and revenue quality — worth knowing before you price anything. We've seen users build the kinds of small SaaS products and weekend projects that end up on these marketplaces, though we haven't tracked enough completed sales yet to say that one consistently works better than the others.
Selling a vibe-coded app isn't the same transaction as selling a traditionally built SaaS business, mostly because buyers now ask a question they weren't used to: how much of this was actually reviewed by a human? That question shapes where you should list it as much as your revenue does. Here are seven real places to sell, roughly ordered from smallest to largest deal size.
1. ExitBid — built specifically for AI-built apps
ExitBid runs a $199 flat listing fee with 0% commission on the sale itself, using a 5-day auction format designed to find real market price fast rather than sit on a fixed asking price for months. What makes it worth listing first here:ExitBid's own guidance tells sellers to disclose AI origin directly in the listing — something like "built with significant AI assistance; all code has been reviewed, tested, and refined" — rather than hiding it, on the logic that honest disclosure plus demonstrable code quality outsells vague listings in a market where most sellers say nothing.
2. SideProjectors — for pre-revenue and hobby builds
If your vibe-coded app has no revenue yet, or was built purely as a fun weekend project,SideProjectors is the right size of marketplace: free to list, fixed-price or open-to-offers, and full of exactly the kind of small, scrappy builds a first vibe-coded app usually is. Pre-revenue projects here typically trade in the low hundreds to low thousands of dollars - treat it as a way to hand off a project to someone who'll actually use it, not a payout.
3. IndieMaker — the indie-community option
IndieMaker charges a listing fee and runs on the same fixed-price/offers model as SideProjectors, but leans more community-driven buyers browsing it tend to be other indie builders looking for a head start rather than investors. Worth listing alongside ExitBid or SideProjectors rather than instead of them, since the buyer pools don't fully overlap.

SaaS valuation multiples by ARR growth rate
Flippa is the biggest general-purpose marketplace for websites, apps, and SaaS, charging a 5-10% success fee with escrow built in. Its size cuts both ways more buyer traffic, but more competition for attention but it's also the source of some of the most specific multiple data available:Flippa's own 2026 analysis puts low-growth SaaS (under 20% ARR growth) at 3x-5x ARR, moderate growth (20-40%) at 5x-7x, and high growth (over 40%) at 7x-10x, with North American listings commanding the highest multiples (8x-15x ARR) and Asia-Pacific the lowest (4x-8x).
5. Acquire.com — for a straightforward SaaS-to-SaaS match
Acquire.com is built around matching SaaS sellers directly with vetted buyers rather than running a public auction board, which tends to suit a vibe-coded app that's already a real, if small, business with paying customers. Pricing scales down as your asking price grows: an 8% closing fee for deals under $250,000, 7% for deals between $250,000 and $1 million, and 6% above $1 million, plus $100/month to keep the listing live. It's the natural next step up once ExitBid or SideProjectors feels too small for what you've actually built.
6. Empire Flippers — for a vetted, brokered exit
Empire Flippers is the option for a business with enough revenue history to justify a real vetting process — they charge no listing fee, but take a blended commission on a successful sale: a flat $10,000 up to $66,667 in sale price, 15% from there up to $700,000, dropping to 8% on the amount between $700,000 and $5 million, and 2.5% above that. That fee structure alone tells you the buyer pool here skips past hobby projects entirely.
7. Selling directly — to a serial acquirer or your own audience
The seventh place isn't a marketplace at all: some of the best exits for a vibe-coded app with any real user base happen through direct outreach, a post about your metrics on X or Indie Hackers, or a cold email to a known small-business acquirer like Tiny, which buys profitable internet businesses directly rather than through listings. It's slower to set up than posting to a marketplace, but it skips the commission entirely and tends to attract buyers who already understand what they're getting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best app marketplace to sell a vibe-coded app?
It depends on size: ExitBid, SideProjectors, IndieMaker, Greta.sh marketplace suit small or pre-revenue builds, while Flippa, Acquire.com, and Empire Flippers suit apps with real revenue and users. There isn't one best marketplace across every stage.
Want to try one of these? Start on Greta.sh — no setup, no boilerplate — just a prompt.How do you sell SaaS you built primarily with AI?
The same way you'd sell any small SaaS business — clean documentation, verified revenue, and a working demo — plus one extra step buyers now expect: disclosing that it was built with an ai builder app and stating plainly what human review happened before listing it.
Do I need to disclose that my app was built with AI?
Marketplaces built for this specifically, like ExitBid, recommend disclosing it directly in the listing rather than hiding it. Honest disclosure paired with visible code quality tends to outperform a vague listing, since most buyers now assume some AI involvement anyway.
What's a fair valuation multiple for a vibe-coded app?
Across 190 tracked private SaaS deals, the median came out to 3.7x EBITDA, with a realistic planning range of 2x to 7x depending on growth rate, net revenue retention, and how dependent the business is on the founder personally. Pre-revenue projects sell for a flat few hundred to low thousands of dollars rather than a multiple at all.
Should I build a mobile app from scratch before selling?
It can help, since a mobile version broadens who can use — and buy — the product, but it isn't a requirement for most of the marketplaces above. If you want to add one before listing,our guide to building a mobile app from a single prompt covers the fastest path.
Before you list it anywhere
Whichever marketplace fits, the prep work is the same: rotate and revoke every API key and credential still pointing at your accounts, run a dependency check for known vulnerabilities, and make sure a buyer can actually tell what they're buying — including who owns the code. That last part trips up more vibe-coded sales than people expect;our breakdown of who owns the code when you build with an AI app builder is worth reading before you write a single line of your listing. And greta.sh's ownvendor lock-in and data ownership checklist - written for buyers evaluating any AI-built app, not just ones built on greta.sh — doubles as a solid pre-sale audit for your own listing.
This is also the strongest honest case for building ongreta.sh in the first place if a future sale is even a possibility: full code ownership and no vendor lock-in mean there's no separate cleanup sprint before you list, because the app was never trapped inside a proprietary format a buyer's developer can't inspect. A buyer's first real question is always some version of "can I actually own this," and starting on a platform built around answering "yes" saves the exact prep work most of this section just walked through.
