Buying an App Business on Empire Flippers
Buying an app that already earns money lets you skip the build and launch phase. You start with real users, revenue and a track record from day one, and you can put your time into growth instead of product-market fit.
Every app on this page passed our vetting before it was listed. We confirm the seller’s identity and right to sell, verify earnings and ownership, and check for paid or undisclosed traffic. We reject the majority of businesses that apply.
App Types You Will Find Here
The Application category lists businesses whose main product is an app. You will typically find:
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android that earn from subscriptions, in-app purchases, paid downloads or ads
- Web apps and online tools that users access in the browser
- Niche apps built around a topic or audience: recent listings covered food and beverage, news and education, self-care and cooking
For subscription software sold to businesses, also browse SaaS businesses for sale, or see the full marketplace of online businesses for sale.
How to Buy an App on Empire Flippers
- Create a free account. Registered buyers can sort app listings by price and monthly net profit, and save searches.
- Verify your funds. Show proof of funds that covers the businesses you want to review. You become a verified buyer with 100 free unlocks in your price range.
- Unlock a listing. You see the app’s name and URL, detailed traffic and earnings reports, and you can send the seller questions.
- Speak with the seller. For listings over $100,000 you can book a call with the seller; a Business Advisor joins on deals above $300,000. For listings under $100,000, ask your questions from the listing page.
- Make an offer or buy it now. Send an offer, or click Buy It Now and pay by bank wire. If several buyers wire funds, the first wire received wins and the others are refunded.
- Take over the app. Our migrations team handles the handover through a support ticket and collects the hosting, registrar and monetization details. We have migrated over two thousand businesses.
Every step is explained in our buyer FAQ and on how Empire Flippers works.

How App Businesses Are Priced
Apps on Empire Flippers are priced at their last 12 months of net profit times a multiple. The multiple typically ranges from 1.7x to 5x or more.
- Example: an app that nets $5,000 a month ($60,000 a year) listed at a 3x multiple has a list price of $180,000.
- What raises the multiple: a longer operating history, users from more than one traffic source, and more than one revenue stream.
- Fresh numbers: sellers update their revenue reports at the start of each month, and prices are updated with the seller’s permission.
- Deal structure: deals use our standard Asset Purchase Agreement, and you can add terms in your offer. Seller financing is one of the most common structures on our marketplace, and earnouts are common on seven-figure deals: more than a quarter of the 168 businesses we sold in 2025 had one.

What to Check Before You Buy an App
Start with the listing description, then use the unlocked data to test the numbers yourself.
- Downloads versus profit. A large install count means little on its own. Compare the user base with monthly net profit and see how much revenue comes from paying users.
- How the app makes money. Subscriptions, in-app purchases, ads and paid downloads carry different risks. Look for free users the current owner has not yet monetized.
- Where users come from. Check whether installs come from app store search, paid ads or a single channel, and whether any paid traffic was disclosed.
- Time and team. The listing shows how many hours the owner works and who else is involved, such as developers or contractors.
- Growth ideas. Each listing has an opportunities section with ideas for growth. Pick the ones you can realistically deliver.
- Technical handover. Ask how the code, accounts and hosting are set up and how they will move to you during migration.
Empire Flippers does not provide due diligence reports, so run your own checks or hire a third party. Our guide to SaaS due diligence covers software checks that also apply to apps. If you are new to software businesses, start with the complete SaaS startup guide.

Apps for Sale: Frequently Asked Questions
It can be, if you buy an app that already makes money. Every app listed on Empire Flippers has a history of positive earnings, and our vetting team verifies those earnings and the seller’s ownership before the listing goes live. Profit still varies a lot between apps, so compare monthly net profit, revenue trend and the hours the owner works in each unlocked listing.
Listings on our marketplace are priced at their 12-month net profit times a multiple, which typically ranges from 1.7x to 5x or more. For example, an app that nets $5,000 a month ($60,000 a year) listed at 3x costs $180,000. Age, traffic diversity and revenue diversity push the multiple up.

Yes. Before listing, our team verifies the business’s earnings and ownership and checks for paid or undisclosed traffic. Once you unlock a listing you see detailed traffic and earnings reports, and sellers update their revenue reports at the start of each month. You should still run your own due diligence before you buy.
Create a free account and provide proof of funds to become a verified buyer. You can connect your bank through Plaid or upload a bank statement, stock portfolio document, CPA letter or HELOC. Verification takes a few minutes and gives you 100 free unlocks within your price range. See how buyer verification works.
Yes, for larger deals. For listings over $100,000 you can schedule a call with the seller, and a Business Advisor joins calls on deals above $300,000. For listings under $100,000, you send your questions to the seller from the listing page.
Yes, if the seller agrees. Seller financing is one of the most common deal structures on our marketplace, and earnouts are common on seven-figure deals: of the 168 businesses we sold in 2025, more than a quarter had earnouts. You propose the terms in your offer. Read more about seller financing for online business buyers.
Yes. You can send an offer from the listing, or email sales@empireflippers.com for a unique offer. If a seller accepts an offer below list price, it is shared with active verified buyers for 24 hours before the deal goes ahead.
Verification takes a few minutes, and after that the pace depends on you and the seller. You can buy at list price straight away with Buy It Now and a bank wire. If several buyers wire funds, the first wire received wins and the others are refunded, so good apps can sell quickly.
Our migrations team moves the business to you. We open a support ticket and collect the hosting, registrar and monetization details needed for the handover, and we have migrated over two thousand businesses this way. The deal is covered by our standard Asset Purchase Agreement, and you can add your own terms in your offer.
There is no fixed number, because downloads alone do not set earnings. An app with a large install base can earn little if few users pay, while a smaller app with loyal subscribers can earn more. Judge an app by its verified monthly net profit, how it makes money and where its users come from, using the reports in the unlocked listing.
