What do side-projects typically sell for?

My own is 8 months old. It averages $3K/month in revenue with costs of $100/month. Mine is a plugin not SAAS. I've had 100 sales so far, currently around 5-10 sales/month. I offer 30-day no-questions-asked refunds, but no-one has requested one yet. I've never had a visa chargeback, either.

My own probably requires at least 3 software updates/year to maintain the revenue level. E.g., a small feature added or a couple bugfixes. Customers always buy annual licenses, and annual maintenance extensions to the license are half price.

Depending on the age of the site, its uniqueness and competition barrier to entry, typically between 1.5 - 3.5x

I've just gone through the process via dealflowbrokerage.com - good experience so far.

To clarify, 1.5x - 3x ARR?
