What SaaSCity is and who it's for
SaaSCity is a SaaS and AI tools directory built as an interactive city map rather than a list. Every listed product gets a dedicated, Google-indexable product page with a dofollow backlink. Products launch in week-long rounds that the community votes on, and paid plans place your product as a building on the map. The site states 1,335 products are on the map today, on a domain with an Ahrefs Domain Rating of 68.
Founders, indie hackers, and early adopters browsing and voting on new SaaS and AI tools.

How to submit to SaaSCity, step by step
Add the SaaSCity badge to your site and submit for a free listing with a dofollow backlink. Free listings are capped at 15 per week and have a ~350-day review queue.
Create an account
Sign in to SaaSCity to access the submission form.
Paste your product URL
Start the submission by pasting your product URL. SaaSCity reads your page and pre-fills the name, tagline, description, category, and logo, but every field stays editable.
Choose your plan
Select Free (requires badge), Quick Pass ($19.99 one-time), Premium ($39.99 one-time), or Max ($79.99 one-time). Paid plans skip the queue and include map placement.
Book your launch week
Rounds open every Monday at 00:00 UTC and run a full week. The calendar shows which weeks still have room; free slots are capped per week, paid listings are not.
Get reviewed by a human
A person checks every submission before it goes live. Once approved, your dofollow link is live immediately, and a paid plan puts your building on the map.

Why SaaSCity submissions get rejected or stall
- Broken or misleading sites
- Adult content
- Gambling
- Free listings require the SaaSCity badge to be live on your site before the dofollow link is activated
- Free listings are capped at 15 per week; if the queue is full, you may need to wait for a later week
Tips for a listing that gets approved
- If you control your footer, the free plan with badge is the best value: same dofollow link as paid plans, just slower.
- Paid plans skip the ~350-day free queue and go live within 24 hours, so use Quick Pass if timing matters.
- Premium and Max include a launch blog post written by SaaSCity's editor, which adds extra dofollow links and AI visibility.
- Map placement is only available on paid plans; you can upgrade a free listing later from My Projects.
Our take on SaaSCity
SaaSCity is a good fit for founders who want a dofollow backlink from a DR 68 domain and are willing to either add a badge or pay a one-time fee. The free path is slow but genuinely free, while paid plans offer faster review and extra visibility. Expect modest referral traffic; the main value is the link and indexed page.
