Approck vs Flippa: comparison table
| Metric | Approck | Flippa |
|---|---|---|
| Seller fit | Subscription mobile app founders and studios. | Apps and other digital businesses; auction and classified formats. |
| Seller costs | No upfront fee; published seller success fee of 7–10%. Confirm the rate and fee base in your agreement. | Listing packages start at $29; a success fee also applies. Package and final sale value affect pricing. |
| Sale support | Valuation guidance, buyer screening, negotiation support, and app transfer coordination. | Self-service and assisted options; select the package before comparing support. |
| Diligence preparation | Store financial context, subscription analytics, traffic history, and technical/transfer materials. | Seller disclosures and available data integrations; confirm the checks included in your package. |
| Payment and handover | Agree the payment provider, costs, milestones, and acceptance conditions for your deal; Approck coordinates the transfer. | FlippaPay or Escrow.com options; payment charges are separate from listing and success fees. |
Compare the full cost of a sale
Approck’s published fee would be $7,000–$10,000 on an illustrative $100,000 sale, before any separately agreed closing costs. That example is arithmetic, not a quote or a prediction of your app’s value.
For Flippa, obtain the package price, success fee, renewal terms, and payment charges for the same asset and asking price. A low entry listing price is not the total cost: add every layer together, then compare against a single success fee with no upfront cost.
Which process fits your app?
If your app needs an explanation of renewal cohorts, paid acquisition, or declining revenue, ask who will turn that evidence into a buyer-ready case. Broad exposure helps only if the interested buyers understand the business they are buying.
If you already have a clean data room and can manage inquiries, a self-service listing may suit you. If confidentiality matters, compare private-sale options and who can see identifying details before uploading material. Ask both platforms about exclusivity before running overlapping listings.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell a mobile app on Flippa?
Yes. Flippa supports app listings. Compare its chosen package with the work needed for your specific subscription business rather than treating every listing as the same service.
Is Approck always cheaper?
Not necessarily. Compare written quotes for the same sale price and scope — but note the structural difference: Flippa stacks listing, success, and payment fees, while Approck charges a single success fee with no upfront payment.
Does a marketplace listing replace due diligence?
No. Buyers still need to reconcile revenue, store proceeds, operating costs, retention, ownership, and transfer readiness.
What should I prepare before choosing?
Prepare the app link, monthly financial history, subscription analytics, acquisition costs, and a list of code, backend, and other assets included in the sale.
