Why We Picked This

isMalicious delivers $1,986/mo revenue with exceptional 95% profit margins and a rare 1.5x annual profit multiple — well below typical SaaS multiples of 3–4x. The 19-month operating history, verified financials (100 data quality score), and security/threat intelligence positioning in a durable market segment support strong acquisition economics. Key details to confirm: customer count, churn/retention, revenue composition (API vs. tooling), and whether the MCP server and integrations represent defensible differentiation or commoditized infrastructure.

A threat intelligence API and SIEM integrations would require moderate custom development for API design, data pipeline architecture, threat feed ingestion, and STIX/TAXII compliance. Cost: $8K–$18K for MVP-scope API + integrations using managed infrastructure and AI-assisted coding. Build time: 10 weeks. However, the buyer is acquiring 19 months of verified customer traction, 95% margins, and operational knowledge of threat data sourcing and compliance — assets that justify acquisition economics over building from zero. The modest monthly profit ($1,887) requires efficient scaling or channel expansion; buying provides immediate revenue and customer relationships that would take a solo founder 6–12 months to replicate organically.

Cash estimate includes the AI tools, APIs and infrastructure needed for a solo founder to recreate the software. Build time is informational and lightly weighted. The verdict is driven mainly by customers, users, verified earnings, retention, distribution, brand, data and operating history.
