Zero to Hundred vs Flippa
They sell different things. Flippa is a marketplace for buying and selling online businesses and websites: the site plus its traffic, revenue, and accounts changes hands once and the seller leaves. Zero to Hundred sells non-exclusive licenses to working software, so nothing changes hands and the same build can be sold again. Flippa charges $29 to $699 to list for a fixed term, payable whether or not it sells, plus a 10% success fee. Zero to Hundred is free to list and takes 8% plus $0.50 when you bring the Buyer yourself, or 25% when the Buyer finds your listing here.

What does each one actually sell?
Flippa sells online businesses. A buyer purchases the site or the app together with the traffic, the revenue, and the accounts holding them. One transaction, one new owner, and the seller is out.
Zero to Hundred is a license marketplace. A Buyer pays once for a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use, modify, and deploy the software, including in their own commercial products. There is no revenue attached and no customer list. The Builder keeps the copyright and can license the same software to the next Buyer.
That is the whole comparison. Everything below is detail.
What does it cost a seller?
The structural difference is that Flippa charges you before anything sells. Their listing packages are flat fees for a fixed term, so the money is spent whether the sale happens or not.
| Asking price | Flippa | Zero to Hundred |
|---|---|---|
| Under $10k | $29 to $199 to list for a fixed term, plus a 10% success fee | $0 to list, 8% + $0.50 on a sale you bring, 25% on one we bring |
| $10k to $49.9k | $49 to $599 per 6 months to list, plus a 10% success fee | $0 to list, 8% + $0.50 on a sale you bring, 25% on one we bring |
| $50k and above | $129 to $699 per 6 months to list, plus a 10% success fee | $0 to list, 8% + $0.50 on a sale you bring, 25% on one we bring |
The exact packages, as published. Under $10k: Entry at $29 for a 60-day term, Boosted at $49 for 3 months, Premium at $199 for 6 months. $10k to $49.9k: Standard at $49, Premium at $399, Ultimate at $599, each per 6 months. $50k and above: Standard at $129, Premium at $399, Ultimate at $699, each per 6 months. Flippa defines the success fee as payable when you sell, calculated as a percentage of the sale price, and shows it at 10% across the bands on that page. Their own comparison pages describe success fees stepping from 10% down to 3% depending on the sale price, so confirm your own rate with them before listing something large.
Take a $5,000 price. On Flippa that is $29 for the Entry package plus $500 at closing, so $529 if it sells inside the 60-day term and another $29 or more if it does not. Here it is $400.50 if you brought the Buyer through your own link, and nothing before that. If we brought the Buyer, it is $1,250, which is the more expensive outcome of the two and worth knowing before you list. The trade is that we did the finding.
The larger difference is repeatability. A business sells once. A non-exclusive license at $5,000 sold three times over two years is $15,000, with $1,201.50 in commission if you brought every Buyer and $3,750 if we brought all three. That comparison is not apples to apples, and it should not be read as one: a site with real traffic and revenue can sell on Flippa for far more than three licenses, because the buyer is purchasing income rather than code. Which number is bigger depends entirely on whether your software has customers.
What does it cost a buyer?
Flippa sells a Premium buyer subscription at $49 a month or $490 a year. Payment on a deal runs through Escrow.com or their own FlippaPay, each of which charges its own processing rate.
Zero to Hundred charges Buyers nothing beyond the listed price. Every listing carries a working demo or a walkthrough video and a seller disclosure form, all public. There is nothing behind a paywall, because there are no financials to put there. You are evaluating software. The business it might have belonged to is not part of the sale.
How do the two models differ, line by line?
| Flippa | Zero to Hundred | |
|---|---|---|
| What changes hands | An online business or website, with whatever traffic, revenue, and accounts come with it. | A license to working software. No revenue, no customers, no copyright. |
| How many times you can sell it | Once. The business has a new owner. | As often as it sells. The license is non-exclusive and the listing stays live. |
| Cost to list | $29 to $699 for a fixed term, paid whether or not it sells. | $0. |
| Commission at sale | A 10% success fee at the price points on their pricing page. | 8% + $0.50 on a sale you bring, 25% on one we bring. |
| Who holds the money | Escrow.com or FlippaPay, both integrated into the sale. | Stripe. No escrow at any price. The payout is held 72 hours. |
| How the software reaches the buyer | A migration the two sides run, with accounts and assets to move. | The source downloads the moment the payment clears. |
| What the seller does afterwards | Hands over and walks away. | Keeps the copyright, keeps the listing, keeps selling. |
What is Flippa better at?
Several things, and they are not close.
- Scale. Flippa has run this market for years and has the buyer volume and the listing volume to show for it. A new marketplace cannot claim either, and pretending otherwise would be the first thing you caught us on.
- Escrow on a large deal. Escrow.com is integrated into their flow. On a five- or six-figure purchase with a migration attached, having a third party hold the money until both sides agree the handover happened is the correct structure. We do not offer it.
- Selling a whole business. If your software has traffic and paying customers, most of its value sits in that revenue, and a license sale captures none of it. Sell the business.
- Reaching people who buy businesses. Their audience arrives looking for cash flow and is willing to run a diligence process to get it. That is a different buyer from the one who arrives here looking for a codebase to deploy.
Where is Zero to Hundred the wrong choice?
Five cases, stated plainly, because you will find them out anyway.
- You want to buy income. Nothing here comes with revenue, traffic, or customers. Wrong marketplace.
- You want to be the only one who has it. The license is non-exclusive by design. The same software is available to other Buyers, including your competitors.
- You want the platform to vouch for the code. Sellers sign in through GitHub and a Builder can verify ownership of the source repository. That is repository verification. It is not a security review, and it is not a code audit.
- You want money held until you are satisfied. We deliberately do not escrow software deals at this size. The source is delivered the moment you pay, you have 24hours to report a factual problem, and the Builder's payout is held for 72 hours so a report filed in time is reviewed before the money moves. On a large acquisition that is thinner protection than escrow, and Flippa is the better venue.
- You need deep inventory today. This marketplace is new and the catalogue is small. That is a real reason to wait.
Which one should you use?
Selling, and your software has traffic or paying customers you are ready to hand over: Flippa. That value only exists in a business sale.
Selling, and your software works but has no revenue, or has revenue you want to keep: here. A non-exclusive license lets you sell the build without giving up the thing you built, and it costs nothing to find out whether anyone wants it.
Buying, and you want a site that already earns: Flippa.
Buying, and you want working software to deploy or build on, usually for a client, without writing it: here. That is the case this marketplace exists for.
Common questions
Is Zero to Hundred cheaper than Flippa? On a sale you source yourself, yes. There is no listing fee, and 8% plus $0.50 is below a 10% success fee on top of a package price. If the Buyer finds you through this marketplace, the rate is 25%, which is higher than Flippa's success fee. The listing fee is the part worth thinking about hardest: on Flippa you pay it even if nothing sells.
What happens if my Flippa listing does not sell? The package fee covers a fixed term. When the term ends the listing ends, and the money is spent. Listing here costs nothing, so an unsold listing costs nothing.
Can you list on both? Yes. Nothing here requires exclusivity. Selling a license here does not stop you selling the business on Flippa later, though you should tell that buyer what licenses are already out.
Do you own what you buy here? No. It is a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use, modify, and deploy. You cannot resell, re-list, sub-license, or redistribute it as a product. The Builder keeps the copyright.
Is money protected during a purchase? Not by escrow, which this marketplace does not use. The source is delivered immediately on every purchase. You have 24hours to report a factual problem, and the Builder's payout is held for 72 hours, so a report filed in time is reviewed before the money moves. If that is thinner protection than you want on a given purchase, Flippa runs escrow through Escrow.com.
