# Submit your tool to Stack Directory

> Stack Directory is a software directory for SaaS, apps and the tools teams combine into a working stack. Products get a page at /product/<slug>, and submitting starts with a login and a badge for your own site.

## Is Stack Directory worth it?

Worth a few minutes only if you already submit to the other sites on the same template (stackdirectory.com, softwarebolt.com, mystarttools.com), since one badge setup repeats across them. Most listings checked in November 2026 had a nofollow Visit link even when the product carried the badge, so do not count on SEO value. Treat it as a small extra mention, not a traffic source, and place the badge on a low-visibility page you control.

## Who should submit to Stack Directory?

Suits SaaS makers already doing bulk directory submissions who accept a badge on their site. It does not suit makers who refuse badge or reciprocal-link schemes, or anyone looking for real launch-day traffic, since there are no votes, comments or launch feed.

## What you need before you submit

- An account (Google or email)
- A badge for the site placed on your own website
- A screenshot and a square icon
- A short description

## How to submit

1. Create an account or log in with Google
2. Add the site badge to your website
3. Let the site check the badge
4. Fill in the product form with description, icon and screenshot
5. Wait for the listing to appear

## Pros

- Free to list if you carry the badge
- Same setup as its sister directories
- Category pages with many software categories
- Listing page per product

## Cons

- Most free listings checked had a nofollow link
- Badge requirement means a reciprocal link from your site
- Plans and prices are hidden behind login
- No visible launch traffic or community

## Tips

- Check whether the badge link on your site can be nofollow before adding it
- Reuse one description across the sister directories but adapt the first line
- Upload a clean square icon, it shows on every card
- Recheck your listing page later to see which rel value it got
