Business valuation is a web-software category. Most 'apps' are mobile sites. EvalyMe is the exception we know of: a native iOS and Android app with saved assessments, synced playbooks, and progress tracking. Flippa has real apps but they're marketplace apps first. Everything else — BizBuySell, BizEquity, Equitest, Eqvista — lives in the browser.
- Native valuation app
- EvalyMe — iOS and Android, saved reports, playbooks and tasks that sync.
- Marketplace app (selling, not planning)
- Flippa — real apps, built around listings and deals.
- Mobile web, free
- BizBuySell's calculator — fine in a phone browser, no history.
- The DIY answer
- A spreadsheet in your office app of choice — full control, no model.

Why this category barely exists on phones
Valuation software grew out of two desk-bound traditions: appraisal firms producing documents, and marketplaces hosting listings. Both assumed you sit down with financials and a browser. That's why the app store results for "business valuation" are thin, and why the strongest mobile experiences in the orbit belong to marketplaces, not planners.
We built EvalyMe app-first for a simple behavioral reason: founders check MRR on their phones. When the churn number moves, the re-valuation should happen in the same minute, not at some future desk session that never comes.
1.EvalyMe ours
- Best for
- Re-running valuations where you notice the change
- Price
- Free to download · Pro $14.99/mo
- Apps
- App Store and Google Play, account syncs with web
- Distinctive bit
- Saved assessments, playbooks, and task progress in your pocket
Native on both platforms: run an assessment, keep the report, share it via a link, work through the 30/60/90-day playbook, and tick tasks — with everything syncing to the web app. The calculator itself also runs in any mobile browser without an account.
The catch: the mobile experience doesn't change what the model is — a directional estimate from eight inputs. If you need certified numbers, no app fixes that.
2.Flippa's mobile apps
- Best for
- Selling an online business from your phone
- Price
- Apps free; listings $29–$499; success ~5–10%
- Distinctive bit
- Real marketplace in your pocket — listings, bids, messages
Flippa ships genuine mobile apps, and if the job is selling — watching a listing, answering buyers — they're the most complete phone experience in this space, including their instant valuation.
The catch: it's a marketplace app. For planning, factor diagnosis, and improvement tracking, it has no opinion.
3.BizBuySell's calculator (mobile web)
- Best for
- A free main-street estimate from your phone
- Price
- Free
- Distinctive bit
- Real SDE multiples, loads fine on mobile
No app, but the calculator works in a phone browser, and for traditional businesses it's the best free number available anywhere, on any screen.
The catch: no account, no history — every visit starts from zero, which kills the before/after comparison that makes re-valuation useful.
4.Everything else is a browser
- Equitest
- Web platform — questionnaire and reports designed for desks
- BizEquity
- Advisor portals, desktop-oriented
- Eqvista
- Web platform and cap-table dashboards
- Spreadsheets
- Work anywhere; you own every assumption
These aren't bad products — several beat us on formality and depth at their jobs. But if your requirement is an actual app with saved state, they're all compromises: pinch-zoomed dashboards and password managers.
My pick, by situation
- You want the number and the plan on your phone: EvalyMe — it's the only native option we know of, and we looked hard.
- You're selling on a marketplace: Flippa's apps.
- You need one number once: BizBuySell's calculator in the browser; bookmark the result.
- You live in spreadsheets: keep living there — just re-run quarterly.
What I'd do today
- Open the free calculator on your phone right now — it works in the browser, no install needed.
- If re-running numbers is a habit you want, install the app and save the assessment.
- Set a monthly reminder to re-run after your metrics close.
- Watch the trend line, not the level — the direction over quarters is the signal.
Questions
Why does mobile matter for valuation? +
Because the useful habit is re-running the estimate after material changes — a pricing shift, a churn spike, a new customer — and those moments happen wherever you are. A tool you can only use at a desk gets used once; a tool in your pocket becomes a loop.
Can't I just use a web calculator on my phone? +
Yes, and most of them work fine in a mobile browser. The differences that matter on mobile are saved history (comparing runs over time), offline access to your reports, and task tracking that syncs — which is where native apps earn their keep.
Does Flippa have an app? +
Yes — Flippa ships mobile apps, but they're centered on the marketplace: browsing listings, watching bids, managing a sale. That's a different job from valuation planning.
What about spreadsheets? +
The honest runner-up. A spreadsheet does the math anywhere with a mobile office app, and you control every assumption. What it doesn't give you: a factor model to argue with, a score to track, or a playbook when the number disappoints you.
