How much does it cost to scrape BizBuySell listings?

You pay only for the listings you get. A listing from search results is a business listing; a listing saved with Include full listing details turned on, or from a single listing link, is a listing with full details.

Apify plan	Business listings per 1,000	Listings with full details per 1,000
Free	$1.00	$2.50
Starter (Bronze)	$0.90	$2.25
Scale (Silver)	$0.80	$2.00
Business (Gold) and higher	$0.70	$1.75

Platform usage is included in these prices, so there is nothing else to pay.

Example: 1,000 businesses for sale in Texas cost $1.00 on the Free plan and $0.70 on Business. The same 1,000 listings with full details cost $2.50 on the Free plan.

Every Apify account gets $5 of free usage each month, enough for about 5,000 business listings at Free-plan prices. See the Pricing tab for details.

Money fields come twice: as a number (askingPrice) for sorting and filtering, and as shown on BizBuySell (askingPriceText). When a seller does not disclose a figure, the number is empty and the text says "Not Disclosed".

Which fields come with which setting?

Field	Search results	With full details
Title, location, asking price, cash flow, EBITDA, summary, listing type	✅	✅
Broker name, firm and profile link	when the result shows them	✅
Gross revenue, inventory, FF&E, real estate		✅
Year established, employees, reason for selling, financing, franchise		✅
Industry and full description		✅

Listings sold by their owners have no broker. Start-ups and real estate listings show fewer financial fields than established businesses.

❓FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape BizBuySell?

$1.00 per 1,000 business listings on the Free plan and less on paid plans, with platform usage included; listings with full details have their own price. See the cost section above for every plan and price. Max listings per search keeps the cost of a run under control, and you can also set a maximum cost per run.

How many listings can I get?

As many as a search has. BizBuySell shows at most 10,000 results per search, but bigger searches (like all businesses in the US) still give you every listing. A listing that turns up more than once in a run (in two searches, or twice in one) is saved once.

Does it include phone numbers, emails or photos?

No. The scraper saves the public listing text and figures and the listing broker's name, firm and profile link. It leaves out phone numbers, email addresses (also when a seller types them into a description) and photos. To reach a seller, open the listing link.

Can I use the filters I set on BizBuySell?

Yes. Set your filters on BizBuySell, copy the page's address and paste it into BizBuySell links. Filters in the input form apply on top of it.

Can I filter by year established or franchise?

Those are not search filters on BizBuySell. Turn on Include full listing details and filter the results by yearEstablished and isFranchise.

Do I need a BizBuySell account?

No. You don't need a BizBuySell account, cookies or an API key: the scraper collects the public listings anyone can see without signing in. Listing statistics and other member-only sections are not included.

What happens with a sold or removed listing?

The run goes on with the other inputs, and the run report lists the listings that are no longer on BizBuySell. A link that is not a BizBuySell search or listing is named in an error message before the run starts.

Can I scrape the BizBuySell broker directory too?

Yes, with our BizBuySell Business Brokers Scraper: brokers by state, city or specialty with their firm, areas served, specialties and listing counts.

Can I connect BizBuySell Scraper to other tools or AI agents?

Yes. Start runs and download results with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients, send results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or Slack with Apify integrations and webhooks, or let AI assistants and agents run it through the Apify MCP server at mcp.apify.com. For instant answers inside your app, its real-time API returns listings directly for /search?location=... and /listing?url=..., without starting a run.

Is it legal to scrape BizBuySell?

This scraper only collects public business-for-sale listings that anyone can see on BizBuySell. It leaves out phone numbers, email addresses and photos. Broker names and profile links can still be personal data, which may be protected by laws such as GDPR, so only scrape for a legitimate reason, do not use the data to contact people in ways they have not agreed to, and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. You can read more in Is web scraping legal?

BizBuySell Scraper is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by BizBuySell or CoStar.
