Exit Analysis
The $3,000 sale price puts it in the bottom quarter of the 623 deals with a disclosed price here, where the median is $21,000. Most indie acquisitions cluster well under the headline numbers founders read about, which is exactly why a real distribution is more useful than an average.
This database tracks 81 Mobile App exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $5,400. Category matters more than founders expect: buyers apply different discount rates to a content business, a mobile app and a B2B tool even at identical revenue.
