Productivity platform built on the Pomodoro technique for focusing on tasks and tracking progress, with no recurring revenue at the time of sale. A buyer found it through SideProjectors and bought it as-is for $899 (R$4,700) in 2021.
The $899 sale price puts it in the bottom quarter of the 547 deals with a disclosed price here, where the median is $21,000. Most indie acquisitions cluster well under the headline numbers founders read about, which is exactly why a real distribution is more useful than an average.
This database tracks 65 Other exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $1,800. Category matters more than founders expect: buyers apply different discount rates to a content business, a mobile app and a B2B tool even at identical revenue.
