Is SaaSFame worth it?
The free plan is weak: it needs an Ahrefs DR of 10 or more, a permanent badge, and a wait of up to 180 days, and the pricing page says it may be rejected. Product pages on the free plan show one followed link (the title) while the Visit button and image are nofollow. Basic at $19.90 once is listed immediately, with no badge and three followed links per the site. Pay only if a directory link at that price fits your budget.
Who should submit to SaaSFame?
Suits SaaS, AI and developer tool makers building backlinks on a budget. The site is a directory with a blog, not a launch community, so do not expect user feedback. Not a fit for new domains under DR 10 on the free plan, or for makers who will not keep a badge.
