What is Microns.io?
Updated
Microns.io is an online marketplace for buying and selling micro startups — small, profitable online businesses such as Micro-SaaS tools, mobile apps, and e-commerce stores. It's aimed at buyers who want to acquire an existing revenue-generating business rather than build from scratch, and at sellers who want a low-friction exit. The platform promotes zero commission and no hidden fees, and it lists businesses across a wide price range, from a few thousand dollars up to several hundred thousand.
Who it's for
- Buyers looking for small, already-operating online businesses with verified metrics and validated ideas.
- Sellers of micro startups who want to list to a community of entrepreneurs.
- Budget-conscious acquirers — the site organizes listings by price band (under $5k, $10k, $30k, $50k, $100k, $300k, $500k), so you can filter to what you can afford.
What kinds of businesses are listed
The marketplace covers several categories. Examples from current listings show the range:
| Category | Example listing | Annual revenue | Asking price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Micro-SaaS | AI Virtual Data Room | $31,900 | $250,000 |
| Micro-SaaS | Chat API & SDKs platform | $78,400 | $200,000 |
| Micro-SaaS | Etsy market research tool | $9,364 | $8,500 |
| Mobile app | Sunnah Fasting (iOS/Android) | $11,300 | $41,000 |
| Mobile app | Prayer Time Quran iOS app | $242 | $2,000 |
| E-commerce | XenForo themes & add-ons store | $1,752 | $19,000 |
Note the wide spread between revenue and asking price — some listings ask well above annual revenue, others below. That's a signal to evaluate each deal on its own terms rather than assume a standard multiple.
What the platform emphasizes
- Verified metrics — the site states listings carry verified performance data.
- Validated ideas — the pitch is that you're acquiring a business with a proven concept, not a hypothesis.
- Zero commission, no hidden fees — stated as a core differentiator in the site's own description.
- Community — buyers and sellers join a community of entrepreneurs; there's a "Wall of Love" and "Success Stories" section on the site.
Practical things to check before using it
- Pricing and access tiers exist. The site has a Pricing page and a "For buyers" premium page, so some features may sit behind a paid plan. The source material doesn't specify what's free versus paid beyond a "Join for free" option — verify current terms on the site.
- Listing quality varies. With annual revenues ranging from $5 to $78,400 in the sample above, do your own diligence on traffic, revenue source, and transferability.
- Category fit matters. Micro-SaaS and mobile apps dominate the visible listings; if you want content sites or physical-product e-commerce, the selection may be thinner.
If you're evaluating whether to buy or sell a small online business, Microns.io is worth browsing for its price-filtered listings and stated no-commission model — but treat each listing's numbers as a starting point for your own verification.
