Hey Dev.to community!
I just launched Whobal - a marketplace for buying and selling online businesses (side projects, saas apps, chrome extensions, etc.). It is a free platform for the founders to sell their businesses without paying any commission.
💡Seller?
- List unlimited projects for sale
- Receive offers from buyers (only verified)
- Sell securely via Escrow.com (Escrow Pay is integrated)
- No paywall for unlocking offers
- Absolutely 0% commission on successful sale unlike Flippa or similar sites which charge 10% to 15% commission
You can sign up as a seller and add your projects here: https://whobal.com/signup
💰Buyer?
- Join our buyers network for free
- Get new businesses via email when they are listed for sale
- 24 Hours early access to incredible businesses (curated by our team)
- Contact seller to ask a question or simple make an offer
- Buy securely via Escrow.com
- No commission / broker fees
👉 What's next?
- Listing verification
- Google Analytics integration for traffic stats
- Stripe integration for revenue stats
✍️ Feedback?
I'd appreciate any feedback from the community, specifically on the landing page copy, and what you like or dislike about the platform.
Thank you so much 💖

Very unique idea! Congrats on the launch. Are you planning on implementing a pricing model of any sort or do you plan to just always offer the service for free?
Thank you! I have yet to decide the pricing model. I would like to keep the basic listing free and offer premium upgrades for extra exposure.
Take a cut from each sale like PayPal :)
Congrats on making it live! looks very interesting. I'll be looking into it and see if I join as a buyer. Excited to see what I can find.
Thank you. Let me know if you need any help.
Any ideas on how to attract more listings?
That is what I am trying to figure it out. May be I should post it on Product Hunt to attract more founders to list their side projects.
