01What it is and who is there

SaaSHub is a software directory built around alternatives and comparisons. Each product has a page, and many visitors arrive from search looking for alternatives to a known tool. The audience is people researching software, often for work. It suits SaaS and developer tools with clear competitors.

02Cost and what you actually pay for

A free listing is available, and paid options may raise visibility. Check the current pricing page before you pay. Start with the free listing and see what it sends.

03Is it right for you?

It fits B2B SaaS and developer tools that compete with known products. It fits poorly for consumer apps and for new categories with no alternatives. Results come from search over months, not from a launch day.

04Before you start

  • A clear category and a list of the tools you replace.
  • A logo, description, pricing and screenshots.
  • Read SaaSHub's current submission guidelines.

05Step-by-step: how to distribute here

  1. Search for your product and claim it if it already exists.
  2. Fill in the description, category, pricing and features accurately.
  3. Link your product to the right alternatives, only where it truly fits.
  4. Ask real users to review if they like it, with nothing offered in return.
  5. Check the listing every few months and update it.

06What to post or submit

Description:

[Product] is a [category] tool for [who]. It helps you [job] with [key feature]. A simpler alternative to [incumbent] for [specific use case]. Pricing: [free plan or starting price, as on your site].

07Common mistakes and do-nots

  • Do not list false alternatives to appear on popular pages.
  • Do not post fake reviews.
  • Do not pay for placement before the free listing has had a few months.

08How to measure it

  • Track referrals from saashub.com in analytics.
  • Track sign-ups from those visits.
  • A realistic test: three months. A steady trickle means keep it updated.

09Time budget

  • Before: 1 hour to list.
  • After: 15 to 30 minutes every few months.
