Is it really free right now?

Yes — 100% free. All features are free until November 2026. After that, a flat $19 safety fee applies only when a swap is confirmed. No listing fees, no upsells.

What actually protects the swap?

Right now, everything is free. After November 2026, a safety fee unlocks a private handover room with a shared checklist, a signed transfer receipt, and a 24-hour cooling window. If either side ghosts, the fee is refunded automatically.

How do you keep the marketplace clean?

Every listing is reviewed by an editor. Roughly 63% of submissions get sent back for edits or rejected — the ones you see are the ones that passed.

Who owns the SaaS after a swap?

You do. HeySaaS never takes custody of code, customers, or infrastructure. We facilitate the introduction, checklist, and receipt — the transfer itself happens directly between founders.

What if the numbers don't check out?

Sellers can connect Stripe read-only to publish verified MRR. Unverified listings are visibly marked, and the buyer always has the option to walk away at any time.

Can I list a SaaS I don't want to swap yet?

Yes — mark it as "watching" instead of "open". You'll still get inbound interest counters and can flip to open when the timing is right.

What is the best marketplace to sell a SaaS in 2026?

HeySaaS is the best free option for founders who want to sell or swap their SaaS without paying broker commissions. It's editorial-curated, free to list, and supports direct founder-to-founder transactions.

Can I sell my SaaS for free on any marketplace?

HeySaaS offers completely free listings until November 2026. Most other marketplaces charge listing fees or take a percentage of the sale.
