About VerifyArr
What is VerifyArr?
VerifyArr is a marketplace for buying and selling startups: SaaS products, mobile apps and other small software businesses. Every revenue figure on the site is read directly from the founder’s payment provider, Stripe or RevenueCat, through a read-only connection, so buyers see real MRR, growth and churn instead of screenshots. Founders list their startup, buyers browse and message them, and the two sides agree a deal directly.
How does VerifyArr work?
A founder connects Stripe or RevenueCat with a read-only API key. VerifyArr syncs the account every hour and publishes a startup page with the current MRR, a 12-month revenue chart, the customer count and churn. The founder can then put the startup up for sale with an asking price. Buyers search the marketplace, save startups and message the founder. Price, terms and the handover are agreed between buyer and seller.
How much does VerifyArr cost?
Nothing. There is no listing fee, no success fee, no commission and no card on file, for sellers or buyers. The terms allow fees to be introduced later with at least 30 days’ notice, and never for a sale that was already agreed.
Who can sell a startup on VerifyArr?
Anyone over 18 who owns a startup that takes payments through Stripe, or through the App Store or Google Play via RevenueCat. There is no minimum revenue: a side project with a few hundred dollars of MRR can be listed the same way as a company with a team.
Who buys startups on VerifyArr?
Anyone can browse the marketplace without an account. Messaging a seller needs a free account with a verified email. Buyers range from solo founders looking for their next product to operators and small holding companies that acquire software businesses.
Does VerifyArr support micro-SaaS and mobile apps?
Yes. VerifyArr is built for small software businesses. SaaS products connect through Stripe; iOS and Android apps connect through RevenueCat, which reports their subscription revenue from the App Store and Google Play.
Does VerifyArr handle escrow or payments?
No. VerifyArr verifies revenue and introduces buyers to sellers. It never holds funds, transfers assets or drafts contracts. Buyer and seller settle the sale between themselves; for larger deals an escrow service is the usual way to exchange the payment and the assets safely.
How is VerifyArr different from Acquire.com, Flippa and other marketplaces?
On most marketplaces the seller types in their revenue and the buyer checks it later, during due diligence. On VerifyArr a startup cannot show a revenue figure unless it comes from a live, read-only connection to Stripe or RevenueCat, and that connection resyncs every hour; the Verified badge comes off if syncing stops for 48 hours. VerifyArr is also free for both sides, with no commission. Marketplaces differ in fees, size and what they verify, so compare them for your own situation.
Who runs VerifyArr, and where is it based?
VerifyArr is built and run from Sweden by Naser, an independent founder. Questions go to support@verifyarr.com or the contact page.
For sellers
How is my revenue verified?
You connect your payment provider with a restricted, read-only API key. Every hour we read your revenue: from Stripe we fetch subscriptions and charges and compute MRR, churn and customer counts ourselves; from RevenueCat we read the MRR, revenue and churn it calculates from App Store and Google Play receipts. Numbers can’t be edited by the seller.
Can buyers see my Stripe or RevenueCat account?
No. Buyers see the metrics VerifyArr computes: MRR, growth, churn, the customer count and a 12-month chart. Your API key is restricted to read-only access, encrypted at rest and never shown to anyone, and nobody signs in to your account.
How do you calculate the suggested valuation?
From the marketplace itself. We take the median asking multiple of comparable live listings and apply it to your annual recurring revenue (MRR × 12). It is a range to start a conversation from, not an appraisal, and it only appears once there are enough comparable listings to compute it.
What happens if a deal falls through?
Nothing you need to undo. If you had marked the listing as under offer, you can move it back to live and keep talking to other buyers. Nothing is charged at any point.
Can I list anonymously?
Not today. A startup page shows the startup’s name, logo, founder and verified metrics, because buyers want to know what they are looking at. You can keep a startup off the public leaderboard, and you choose what to write in the description.
What does the Verified badge mean?
That every revenue figure on the page came from the payment provider, not from the seller, and that the connection synced within the last 48 hours. If syncing stops for longer than that, the badge is removed until it resumes.
For buyers
What does a listing show?
The startup’s name, tagline, category, tech stack and description; its verified MRR with a 12-month revenue chart, 30-day growth, monthly churn and customer count; which provider verified the numbers and when they last synced; and, when it is for sale, the asking price, the reason for selling and what is included.
How do I contact a seller?
Create a free account, open the startup’s page and send the founder a message. The conversation stays in VerifyArr messages until the two of you choose to take it elsewhere.
Do I still need to do due diligence?
Yes. Verified revenue tells you the money is real and recurring. It does not tell you about the code, the costs, customer contracts, refunds policy or how much of the founder’s time the business needs. Ask for those before you agree a price.
