How selling your app works
We put buyers and sellers in touch. The deal itself stays between you and the buyer.
1
Claim your app
Sign in to the AppBrain developer dashboard and claim your developer account, so we know the app is yours.
2
Create a listing
Set an asking price or leave it open to offers. Add your monthly revenue and costs, what's included and why you're selling.
3
Talk to buyers
Buyers message you through AppBrain. You get their message and who they are by email.
4
Close the deal
You agree the price and the handover directly with the buyer. We don't take a cut.
Why sell your app on AppBrain?
Buyers on other marketplaces have to trust the seller's screenshots. Here they don't.
Numbers buyers can trust
Every listing shows downloads and ratings from AppBrain's own Google Play tracking. You can't edit them, and that's why buyers believe them.
Free, no commission
Listing is free and we don't take a percentage of the sale. You keep the whole price.
Shown on your app's page
Your app's AppBrain page links to the listing, so people already looking at the app see it's for sale. You can turn this off.
Buyers contact you directly
Messages come from signed-in AppBrain users with a verified email. Your own contact details are never published.
How much is your app worth?
Buyers of small apps mostly pay for profit. The usual price is a multiple of what the app earns per month after costs:
Asking price ≈ 10 to 30 × monthly profit
You get the high end for revenue that has been stable for a year or more, an app that runs without much work, and traffic that comes from search rather than paid ads. You get the low end when one ad network or one country carries everything.
An app without revenue sells on its users. There the downloads in the last 30 days matter most, because they show whether the app still grows on its own.
Which apps can be listed?
A floor on real usage keeps the marketplace worth browsing for buyers.
- At least 5,000 lifetime downloads for a free app, or 1,000 for a paid one
- At least 50 downloads in the last 30 days
- Live on Google Play
- Claimed by you in the AppBrain developer dashboard

How much is my Android app worth?
Apps with steady profit usually sell for about 10 to 30 times their monthly profit. Where you land depends on how stable the revenue is, how much work the app needs, and how dependent it is on one traffic source. When you create a listing, we show you that range for your own numbers.
Can I sell an app that doesn't make money yet?
Yes. Mark it as not monetized. Buyers then look at the downloads, the ratings and the growth, which we measure for every listing.
Does AppBrain handle the payment?
No. You and the buyer settle the deal yourselves. For larger deals, use an escrow service so neither side has to pay or hand over first.
How do I transfer the app to the buyer?
Google Play Console has an app transfer feature. It moves the app with its users, ratings and reviews to the buyer's developer account. Hand over the source code, signing key and any backend accounts as agreed.
Do you verify my revenue?
No. Revenue and costs are labelled as stated by the seller. Serious buyers will ask for Play Console or AdMob screenshots, so have them ready.
How long does a listing stay up?
90 days. You can mark it under offer, sold or withdrawn at any time from the dashboard.
