I'm now curious how much money the original developer was paid to hand it over. I imagine he/she knew what the buyer's plan was.


According to the homepage of a company that buys apps, and as a first approximation, that would be "anywhere between 8x - 36x monthly revenue for apps. In most cases this is well above the standard market value of 6-12x".

Whether they are lowballing candidates with that offer, I can't say.
