Opinion of Best Deal Sites & Value for Paid Ones

Hi, I am starting to develop my searching habits including which deal sites to check and how frequently. I therefore wanted to see which deal sites people use. Obviously there is BizBuySell, but I'm also curious about: 1. What other sites people prefer and why, for example: Kumo, Axial, DealMatch, DealStream, Rejigg, etc. 2. How many sites do people feel it is worth checking before you just start seeing the same deals across all of them? 3. How frequently do you check the sites for new postings? 4. Of the paid ones, how many people find them worth the cost and why/why not?

You should check out Baton (full disclosure, I co-founded Baton!). All of our listings are exclusive — you will likely see them posted on Axial and Kumo since we have partnerships with both of them. But our platform is free for buyers, we act as a sell-side advisor & charge the seller a success fee. We have nearly 2k off-market and for sale listings.

Only one on your list I haven’t tried is Kumo. I’ve been on these sites since 2020 and can tell you they’re mostly the same except Axial has had some differentiation. Don’t think I’ve met anyone that has mentioned that dealstream is worth paying for, I tried it and thought it was a waste. I’ve been on Rejigg for a year now and have not been impressed I’m not in deal mode right now, but when I am, I check what hits my inbox each morning and find sometime throughout my day to skim through any new listings across a few select brokers I follow as well as these aggregators. One general large aggregator you didn’t mention is usbusinessesforsale .com. A lot of what is on bizbuysell is on there, but I find a lot of deals on that site that aren’t on biz quest/bizbuysell
