300+ Free SaaS Directories List (2026): Submit for Backlinks & Traffic

Updated October 2026: a sortable list of 300+ SaaS directories with Domain Rating, monthly traffic, price and dofollow status. Find the free submission sites worth your time.

Updated October 2026. This is the full list: 300+ SaaS directories in one sortable table, each with its link, Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR), estimated monthly visits, price and whether the link is dofollow.

If you've just launched a SaaS product, the first question is: "How do I get people to find me?" In the early days the answer usually isn't paid ads. It's getting listed on the right free SaaS directories.

Submitting to quality directories is one of the highest-ROI things you can do in your first 90 days. It costs time, not money, and 50 to 100 links from real product directories keep sending visitors and authority for years.

How to use the table:

  • Sort by DR to start with the strongest sites, or by visits to find directories that send real traffic.
  • Filter by type: launch platforms, AI directories, SaaS directories, review sites, developer directories and app stores.
  • Tick "Free listing" and "Dofollow" to see only free submission sites that pass link authority.

The directory data (DR, traffic, price and link type) comes from AI Directories, which re-checks every directory regularly. Big platforms it doesn't track, like G2 and Capterra, use the figures from our earlier research. Prefer a hands-off approach? Our SaaS directory submission service submits your product to 100+ of these for you.

All 321 SaaS directories

Sort by Domain Rating or traffic, filter by type, and keep only free or dofollow listings. DR is Ahrefs Domain Rating and visits are monthly estimates, updated 2026-10-30 from AI Directories. “Free / from $X” means a free listing exists and paid options start at $X.

Why Directories Still Work in 2026

Backlink diversity beats backlink count. Google rewards a natural backlink profile. Directories give you dozens of referring domains quickly, which is otherwise very slow to build.

Intent-driven discovery. People browsing Product Hunt, AlternativeTo or G2 are actively looking for tools. That's a different visitor from someone who stumbled on a blog post.

Compounding SEO. A listing on a DR 60+ directory today still passes link equity years from now. You do the work once.

AI search. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers lean on directory and comparison pages when they recommend tools. Being listed in more places makes you more likely to be named.

Where to Start: Best Picks by Type

Launch platforms

  • Product Hunt: the biggest launch day. Can bring 500 to 5,000+ visitors, but links are nofollow.
  • BetaList: pre-launch discovery, good for building a waitlist.
  • Uneed, Fazier, PeerPush, TinyLaunch and Microlaunch: weekly launch boards with dofollow links and steady indie traffic.
  • Hacker News (Show HN) and Indie Hackers: developer and bootstrapper audiences. Write a post, not just a link.

SaaS directories and review sites

  • G2, Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice: high buyer intent for B2B. Worth it once you have a few customers to leave reviews.
  • AlternativeTo and SaaSHub: comparison traffic. Add yourself as an alternative to the tools you compete with.
  • ListMySaaS: free listing with its own profile page that ranks in Google, or live the same day with Premium.
  • SourceForge, Slant and StackShare: long-standing authority, strong for developer tools.

AI directories

  • There's An AI For That, Futurepedia and Toolify: the largest AI tool directories. Mostly paid, with real traffic.
  • AI Directories: lists 100+ directories with DR and traffic, and can submit your AI tool to many of them for you.
  • The table has 150+ smaller AI directories. Filter by "AI directory" and sort by visits to find the ones with real audiences.

Startup databases and app stores

  • Crunchbase, Wellfound and F6S: credibility with investors and early hires.
  • Chrome Web Store, Zapier, Slack App Directory and Microsoft AppSource: only if you have an extension or integration, but each is a high-authority listing.

How to Use This List Without Burning Out

Don't try to submit to all 300 in one sitting. Follow this:

Week 1: Submit to the top 20 (Product Hunt, G2, Capterra, AlternativeTo, ListMySaaS, Crunchbase, SaaSHub, AppSumo, BetaList, Indie Hackers, There's an AI For That, Futurepedia, Peerlist, F6S, SideProjectors, Uneed, Microlaunch, SourceForge, GetApp, Trustpilot). Building an AI product? Swap a few for AI directories from the table, or use AI Directories to submit to many of them at once.

Week 2–4: 10 submissions per day from the rest of the list.

Month 2: Focus on niche directories specific to your SaaS vertical.

What to Prepare Before You Start

  • Product name and tagline (keep tagline under 10 words)
  • Short description (50 words)
  • Long description (200–400 words, SEO-optimised)
  • Logo (512x512 PNG, transparent background)
  • Screenshots (1280x800)
  • Product URL, founder's email, launch date
  • Pricing model (Free, Freemium, Paid)
  • Category tags

Final Thought

Directories are the closest thing SaaS founders have to a free marketing flywheel. Submit consistently to saas directory submission sites, monitor your backlink profile using Ahrefs or Ubersuggest, and track which saas directory websites actually send sign-ups—not just traffic.

Start with ListMySaaS as your micro saas directory and saas tools directory anchor, then expand to b2b saas directory and ai saas directory profiles. A saas directory submission service is optional once the free playbook is running.

FAQ

Are directory backlinks still worth it in 2026? Yes, as part of a mix. A few dozen links from real directories with traffic help a new domain get crawled, ranked and mentioned by AI search. Skip directories with no traffic and a DR under 10.

How many directories should I submit to? Start with the top 20, then add 50 to 100 that match your niche. Quality and relevance matter more than the total.

Which directories give dofollow links? Most smaller directories in the table do. The biggest platforms (Product Hunt, G2, Capterra, Hacker News) are nofollow but send far more visitors. Tick "Dofollow" in the table to filter.

What's the difference between DR and DA? DR (Ahrefs Domain Rating) and DA (Moz Domain Authority) both score a site's backlink strength from 0 to 100. The table uses DR; a few big platforms marked "DA" use Moz figures.
