Is Top SaaS Directories worth it?
Useful only if you run a directory, launch platform or similar listing site, since every one of its roughly 100 listings is a place to submit products. A normal SaaS app does not fit its categories. For a directory owner it is cheap: the free plan gives followed links in return for a backlink, and $9 once removes that condition. Expect little referral traffic; the value is the link and being found by makers looking for places to submit.
Who should submit to Top SaaS Directories?
Suits owners of directories, launch platforms, newsletters and communities that accept product submissions. Does not suit a regular SaaS, AI tool or mobile app looking for users, because the categories are Launch Platform, AI Directory, Directory, Developer Tools, Business Profile and Bio, and the listings are all submission sites.
