Submit your tool to SaaS Roots

SaaS Roots is a SaaS directory that describes itself as focused on foundational software for startups and growing teams. You sign in with Google or email, add its badge to your site, and then fill in the listing form.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free, badge on your site required

Is SaaS Roots worth it?

A reasonable free listing if you already accept badges, with the same caveats as its sibling ashlist.com: same layout and largely the same products. Older listing pages checked give a followed link, but the newest ones and a couple of old ones had nofollow at the time of checking, with no explanation on the site. Do it in the same session as Ash List, expect a backlink and little direct traffic.

Who should submit to SaaS Roots?

Fits B2B SaaS and startup tools that want one more category page and a backlink. Not a fit for makers who refuse reciprocal badges, and of limited value if you are already on ashlist.com, since the catalogues overlap heavily. Consumer apps can be listed but sit oddly under the startup software pitch.
