Flippa vs Quiet Light

Both Flippa and Quiet Light 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.

Flippa

marketplace

6,351

live listings right now

The open marketplace: anyone can list, from $500 side projects to eight-figure companies, and tens of new listings arrive daily. Figures are seller-declared, so the spread between asking and reality can be wide, but the volume means real bargains surface weekly for buyers willing to do their own diligence. Auctions and classified formats both run. Bring scepticism and move fast.

Quiet Light

broker

58

live listings right now

A brokerage run by entrepreneurs who have sold their own businesses. Quiet Light handles mid six-figure to eight-figure deals across SaaS, eCommerce and content, with detailed interview-based listing packages that read like real diligence documents. Fewer listings than the big marketplaces, but a high signal ratio and advisors who pick up the phone. Best for serious buyers with a mandate.

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. Flippa and Quiet Light may sit on different sides of that line — the descriptions above say which.
• •Inventory: Flippa 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.
