Best SaaS Directories
The directories every SaaS founder should submit to first — high authority, buyer intent, and dofollow links.
SaaS buyers compare tools on review sites and alternatives pages long before they find your homepage. A listing on the right ones gets you a backlink and a place in those comparisons.
Enter your site to see the SaaS directories that fit it and the price to have them done. Or browse the full list below, sorted by Domain Rating, and submit yourself.

The best SaaS directories put your product in front of people who are actively comparing software, not just browsing. Review marketplaces like G2 and Capterra rank for thousands of "best X software" searches, while community-driven sites like SaaSHub and AlternativeTo catch buyers looking for alternatives to the tool they already use.
Every site in this list accepts SaaS product submissions and gives you a listing page with a backlink. Work through it top to bottom: the list is sorted by Domain Rating, so the highest-authority links come first. Most listings are free; a few offer paid placements that speed up review or add visibility.

What the data says about SaaS directories
On 13 October 2026 our database covered all 155 SaaS-tagged directories, not a curated top ten, so it shows things a single listicle can't:
- 114 of 155 (74%) were dofollow at our last check. 26 were nofollow and 15 unknown.
- 138 of 155 are free to list on. Only 17 charge.
- 100 are both free and dofollow. That's the real size of the "free SaaS backlinks" pool.
- The median DR is 40. Only 35 sit at DR 70 or above, and 54 at DR 50 or above.
The list thins out fast. Past the top 35 or so, you're mostly looking at DR 30s and 40s. That's fine for a DR 0 site and close to pointless for a DR 40 one. Check your own number first with our free Domain Rating checker.
One rule before you submit anywhere: Google's spam policies name "low-quality directory or bookmark site links" as link spam. That doesn't mean skipping directories, only the junk ones, and it's why the long tail of our database isn't on this page.
How to submit without wasting a weekend
- Build the asset kit once: logo in two sizes, three to five screenshots, a one-line tagline, a 40-word and a 150-word description, pricing, and categories.
- Write a different description for each tier. In the r/indiehackers thread, u/startupsubmit's own finding was that "tailored 40-word descriptions get approved way more than one pasted blurb."
- Work from the top down: review sites first, then alternatives engines, then launch platforms on a date you pick.
- Track every submission as live, pending or rejected, with the listing URL next to it.
- Wait a few weeks before judging results. Approvals trickle in over that whole stretch.
At 15 minutes each, 100 directories is about 25 hours of work. That's where most DIY attempts stop, and it's the honest case for paying someone. If you'd rather do it by hand, our step-by-step guide to submitting a SaaS to directories covers the manual route in detail.
Best SaaS Directories: questions founders ask
What are the best places to submit a SaaS?
Start with review marketplaces like G2 and Capterra, then alternatives sites like AlternativeTo and SaaSHub, then launch platforms like Product Hunt and BetaList. The list on this page is sorted by Domain Rating, so the top of it is the best place to begin.
Where should I submit my SaaS first?
Wherever your buyers compare tools. For most B2B products that means G2, Capterra and AlternativeTo first, then a launch platform on a date you pick.
What are SaaS directories?
SaaS directories are websites that list software products by category, usually with a profile page that links to your site. Review marketplaces like G2 and Capterra count, as do alternatives sites like AlternativeTo and SaaSHub and launch platforms like Product Hunt and BetaList.
Are SaaS directories still worth it in 2026?
Yes, if you pick the right ones. Founders consistently report getting backlinks and a DR lift from a small curated set, though only a handful of directories send real referral traffic. Skip the low-quality ones, because Google's spam policies name them as link spam.
How many SaaS directories should I submit to?
Start with the top 10 above, then work down the table in DR order. Our database has only 35 SaaS directories at DR 70 or higher, so most entries on any list of a few hundred will be lower-authority sites.
Are SaaS directory links dofollow?
Most are. Of the 155 SaaS-tagged directories in our database, 114 were dofollow when we last checked. Some big names were nofollow, Product Hunt's product page among them. A nofollow listing can still send you traffic and buyers.
How much does it cost to list on SaaS directories?
Most are free: 138 of the 155 in our database. The paid ones usually let you skip a review queue or buy featured placement. The top 30 on this page cost nothing but time. If the list is fine and the 25 hours is what stops you, BacklinkBot submits your product by hand to 100+ directories for $99 one-time (200+ for $167, 300+ for $357) and sends a submission report covering every listing. These are foundational links, not editorial ones. See the done-for-you directory submission service.
