Which should you use?
Use AcquiCheck if you are buying a SaaS and the seller will connect Stripe, analytics and the code repository. Use FirstPass for any business type (content, ecommerce, newsletters, apps as well as SaaS) before the seller is involved, from the listing alone.
Whatever you use, nothing that reads only the listing verifies it. Before money moves, check revenue at the source (read-only Stripe, analytics, platform dashboards).
