Acquire vs Empire Flippers

Both Acquire and Empire Flippers sell online businesses, and a buyer comparing them is usually choosing between two kinds of process, not two catalogues. Here is each on its own terms — what it is, how it sells, and how much it has live right now. Acquisiteur tracks both, so in practice you do not have to choose: you watch them in one feed.

Acquire

marketplace

1,149

live listings right now

The default marketplace for startup acquisitions. Acquire (formerly MicroAcquire) specializes in SaaS and app businesses sold founder-to-founder, with standardized metrics, a slick data room and a buyer pool that moves quickly. Listings skew toward products with real MRR but modest scale. Good deals go under offer in days, so saved searches and fast alerts matter more here than anywhere.

Empire Flippers

marketplace

185

live listings right now

The largest curated marketplace for online businesses. Empire Flippers vets every listing, verifies the financials and manages the migration, which is why its deals carry published profit figures you can largely trust and price at the top of the market. Inventory runs from six-figure content sites to eight-figure eCommerce brands. The natural first stop for funded buyers who value verification over bargains.

How to choose

• •Marketplace vs broker is the real fork: a marketplace is self-serve and moves fast, a broker runs a hands-on process with an NDA and calls. Acquire and Empire Flippers may sit on different sides of that line — the descriptions above say which.
• •Inventory: Acquire has more live listings today, which means more to choose from, but the right deal is the one that fits your thesis, not the biggest pile.
• •Verification differs by platform — how earnings are proven is the single thing worth checking on either, since a declared number and a source-connected one are not the same evidence.
