Its homepage says up to 6 figures per workspace and payment in as little as 7 days after a purchase. Its founder has posted larger deal sizes and revenue figures on X in October 2026, which we could not verify.

Is it a good fit?
Good fit
- Businesses with years of messages, documents, records and tickets in common tools such as Slack, Gmail, Google Drive, Salesforce and QuickBooks.
- Companies that want a listing that several AI labs can see and buy.
- People with business relationships who want to refer companies through its partner program.
Worth checking
- Ask how Grepped is paid: a fee on your sale, or a margin between what the lab pays and what you receive. Its partner page refers to a spread.
- Revenue and deal-size figures come from the founder's posts and are not verified. Ask for the written offer and license terms for your company.
- Time from listing to a sale is not published. Ask for a typical timeline.
- Ask whether a license is exclusive and how long it runs; the founder has described 2-year and 3-year exclusive licenses.
- Ask what read-only access to your workspace covers and how it is revoked.
