What CreateSell is
CreateSell tracks SaaS and mobile app startups that pay for ads to get customers. It shows what each one earns and spends, how fast it is growing, and every ad it runs, so a founder can find an idea with proven demand before building.
The core idea is that a startup which keeps paying for ads is making that money back. CreateSell turns that public signal into a searchable list of ideas that already sell.

Frequently asked questions
What is CreateSell?
CreateSell is a database of 9,600+ SaaS and mobile app startups that run paid ads. For each one it shows estimated MRR, ad spend, reach and trend, plus every ad it runs, so founders can find ideas that already make money.

Why are ads a useful signal?
A startup that keeps paying for ads month after month is usually making that money back. Sustained ad spend is one of the clearest public signs that a product sells.
How is CreateSell different from Meta's Ad Library?
Meta's Ad Library shows one advertiser at a time, with no revenue or trend. CreateSell finds the startups, estimates their MRR and ad spend, and lets you compare thousands of them and their ads at once.
Where does the data come from?
Public advertising data. CreateSell finds startups running paid ads, collects their ads and reach, and estimates spend and revenue from that. Every startup is refreshed monthly.
How accurate are the MRR estimates?
They are estimates, not reported revenue. The same conservative assumptions are applied to every startup, so the numbers are meant for comparing startups fairly rather than as exact figures.
Who is CreateSell for?
Founders looking for their next idea, indie makers who want proof before they build, studios picking what to launch, and marketers studying ads that scale.
