A small SaaS and AI product directory (300+ products when checked) organised into 34 categories such as AI, DevTools, CRM, analytics and payments. Each product gets a page with a screenshot, tags and a Visit Website link, and paid listings also appear in the homepage featured section and on category pages. The free listing gives one followed link in exchange for a followed badge link on your site; $19 once removes the badge and gives three links.

How to submit to TheSaaSDir
Open the TheSaaSDir submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse TheSaaSDir (People looking for SaaS and AI products by category; the site's own pitch is aimed mostly at makers who want a listing and a link), not for search engines.
Decide on the link back
They ask for a link or badge on your site. Decide whether you’re happy to add it before you submit.
Check your listing
Listings go live without review. Open yours, check the details and check the link points to the right page.
Tips for TheSaaSDir
- Put the badge on your site before you submit: if it is already there the listing goes live straight away, otherwise the site checks for it and reviews within 7 days.
- The badge must be a followed link. Badges are rechecked; if yours is removed you get an email, and the listing is unpublished unless the badge is back within 7 days.
- No account is needed, only an email for listing updates. You can pick up to 3 categories, and pasting your URL auto-fills the form.
- The paid form lets you add sister directories (AI tools, developer tools, micro-SaaS, indie products) at $10 each on top of the $19, or take all eight sites for $79, from one submission.
From TheSaaSDir’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for SaaS directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- A link to your public pricing page and your trial or free-plan terms
- A list of integrations (the names only, one per line)
- Who the product is for: team size, role or industry
- A support or contact email that someone actually reads
Is TheSaaSDir worth it?
A followed link, with a low bar
The listing link we inspected was followed, but listings go live without human review. Directories that accept everyone tend to carry less weight, so treat it as a small plus, not a priority.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 71 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
- Listings are published without human review.
- There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
- They ask for a link back to their site. One reciprocal link is common, but Google’s spam policies list excessive link exchanges as a problem, so don’t do this for every directory.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
