About
Microns.io is a premium, managed M&A marketplace designed specifically for buying and selling micro-startups and digital assets. It bridges the gap between independent developers who want to exit their passion projects and entrepreneurial buyers looking to skip the "zero-to-one" phase by acquiring vetted, cash-flowing online businesses.
From micro-SaaS and mobile apps to newsletters, e-commerce stores, and Chrome extensions, Microns provides a streamlined, fast and secure platform to trade digital real estate ranging from $500 to $1M.
Microns stands out because it treats small projects with big respect. It doesn’t treat $5,000 or $50,000 businesses as "pocket change." Instead, it provides tools, community trust, and transaction security usually reserved for multi-million dollar corporate acquisitions.

We tested it at 30 bucks a year and we tested at 15 bucks a year too... they were about a wash which is really interesting from a net revenue perspective 15 bucks a year versus 30 bucks year was was basically flat but we went with 30 because it gave us more maneuverability.
Price Elasticity Can Be Flat Across A 2X Range — Choose The Price That Gives You Optionality
AllTrails cut price from $50 to test $30 and $15 — net revenue was flat between them, meaning conversion volume offset the per-unit difference. Ron picked $30 not for revenue maximization but for optionality: room to discount, offer introductory pricing, and run promo campaigns. At $15 there was nowhere to go. If your test shows flat revenue across two prices, always take the higher one for tactical flexibility.
I noticed around 10 to 15 downloads per day from posts that got anywhere from 200 to 500 views... my product was so unique and it solved a very specific pain point that no other app solved it converted very well on my organic post even though they didn't get that many views... you don't need to get millions of views like you think you might need to do if you can get 5 to 10% conversion ratio on views.
Niche Apps Convert At 5-10 Percent On 200-View Videos So Stop Chasing Virality
Ethan's first organic videos pulled only 200-500 views but drove 10-15 installs each. When your product solves a hyper-specific pain no other app addresses, you can skip viral mechanics entirely — reach is replaced by relevance. Niche viewers convert at 5-10%, an order of magnitude above generic apps.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
