UPSYDE YARD / MARKETPLACE / SELL YOUR SAAS APP
FOR BUILDERS READY TO HAND IT OVER

Sell your SaaS app, and keep every cent of what you agree.

List a working product — a web SaaS tool, a mobile app, a desktop app — flag that you’re open to a sale, and talk to buyers yourself. We verify the product is real, publish what you’re asking for in your words, and keep the conversation on the record. We take no commission when it sells. Listing is free while the yard is stocking, and that is the only money that changes hands with us.

Three reasons builders sell here

NONE OF THEM ARE FAILURE
DONE BUILDING
You finished, and moved on

The product works and has users, but your attention is somewhere else. Letting it rot is the worse outcome. A sale puts it in the hands of someone who'll answer the support email.

WRONG OPERATOR
It needs a job you don't want

Shipping it was the part you're good at. Running billing, churn, and a roadmap for years is not. Someone who wants exactly that job will value it more than you do.

NOT SURE YET
You'd sell for the right number

Open to a sale is a flag, not a commitment. You can look for a growth partner and still hear a serious offer — the badge says so without turning your listing into an auction.

How selling works here

FOUR STEPS, NO BROKER
1
List the product

One working product per listing, free while the yard is stocking. You write the pitch, the traction bands, and what you'd accept. Nothing is published until you submit it.

2
Earn the seal

A human installs it, uses the core flow, and confirms it works as described — usually two to three business days. That's what Verified Shipped means: the product is real. It is not an audit of your numbers.

3
Flag that you're open to a sale

Add the FOR SALE badge and say what transfers — code, IP, accounts, and how you'd hand it over. No price. Buyers who care will ask, and you'll answer the ones worth answering.

4
Talk directly, then formalise

Enquiries arrive as messages, each with a Sale Terms Card pinned to the thread. Agree what's included and the shape of the transition on the record, then take it to escrow and counsel to actually move money and assets.

What you keep, and what's yours to do

NO SURPRISES AT THE END

Most sites that rank for this search are brokerages: they price your product, run the escrow, and take a percentage of the sale. That is a real service and this is not it. You should know the difference before you list, not halfway through a conversation with a buyer.

WHAT YOU KEEP
  • Every cent of the sale price. We charge once to list and take nothing when a deal closes — no commission, no success fee, no percentage.
  • Your asking price, private. It is discussed directly with a buyer and never published or stored by us.
  • Control of who you talk to. Enquiries arrive as messages; you answer the serious ones and ignore the rest.
  • The right to change your mind. Open to a sale is a flag you can remove, and no offer binds you until counsel makes it binding.
WHAT YOU HANDLE YOURSELF
  • Pricing it. We publish no valuations and suggest no multiples — you decide what it's worth and defend that number yourself.
  • The money. We never hold funds. Use a third-party escrow service so neither side is trusting the other with a transfer.
  • The handover. Code, IP, domains, app-store accounts, and customer data move between you and the buyer, not through us.
  • The paperwork. The terms card records what you agreed; an asset purchase agreement is what makes it enforceable. The lawyer directory is there for that.
A SALE MOVES REAL ASSETS. PRICE IS NEGOTIATED DIRECTLY BETWEEN BUILDER AND BUYER — UPSYDE YARD DOES NOT HOLD FUNDS OR TRANSFER ASSETS. USE A THIRD-PARTY ESCROW SERVICE AND FORMALIZE THE SALE WITH COUNSEL — SEE THE LAWYER DIRECTORY.

Straight answers

NO ASTERISKS

I want to sell my SaaS app — is this the right place?

If your product is live and works, yes — with one condition worth reading twice: we introduce you to buyers and record what you agree, and that is where we stop. If what you actually want is a valuation, an escrow account, and someone to run the transfer for a percentage, use a broker. You will be better served.

What does it cost to sell?

The listing fee, and nothing else — free while the yard is stocking. There is no commission on the sale price, no success fee, and no percentage. The optional $24/mo Partner plan is for growth partners pitching to work on a product; a seller never needs it.

Do I have to publish an asking price?

No, and you can't. We never publish or store a price. A number posted before either side understands the other just anchors the conversation — buyers who are serious will ask, and that's the point at which the figure means something.

What kinds of products can be sold?

A web SaaS product, an Android or iOS app, a desktop tool, a browser extension. One working product per listing. The bar is that it's live and it works, not that it's profitable.

Does it need revenue?

No. Verification covers one thing: the product exists and works as described. Revenue, downloads, and monthly actives are self-reported bands, labelled as self-reported on your listing. Plenty of buyers are shopping for a working product with an audience problem.

Can I list it for sale and still look for a growth partner?

Yes. Open to a sale is a flag any listing can carry, so you can look for someone to grow it and still hear an offer to buy it. Both conversations run in the same thread, on the same record.

Who actually sees my listing?

Anyone — browsing the yard is free and needs no account, and buyers can filter it to FOR SALE listings only. Messaging you about a purchase is free too; a buyer just has to sign in, so every enquiry has a name on it.

How long does verification take?

Usually two to three business days. A human installs the product and uses the core flow — if something's broken we tell you what, and you can fix it and resubmit rather than being quietly rejected.

ONE FEE, NO CUT
List it once, and keep whatever you agree.

Listing is free while the yard is stocking to put a verified product in front of buyers who came here looking for one. We take nothing when it sells, and the price stays between you and the person paying it.
