Software Directory Listing and SaaS Directory Submission
Put your product in front of buyers who are already comparing tools in your category, with a review profile, a ratings page and an alternatives page of its own.
Short answer: a software directory listing gives your SaaS a public profile that collects user reviews, shows a star rating, sits inside a category buyers browse, and links out to your site. On SaaS Reviews a free submission enters the moderation queue, a $49 priority submission is reviewed first and publishes with your own description and a dofollow link, and paid placements put you at the top of your category.

What a listing actually gives you
Every approved product gets three indexable pages, not one line in a spreadsheet.
A product page that ranks for your brand
Buyers who hear your name search "<your product> reviews" before they book a demo. That search should land on a page with real ratings, not on a competitor comparison you had no say in.
An alternatives page of your own
Every listing gets a companion page at /products/your-slug/alternatives. That is the page that catches the "alternatives to" searches your rivals are already ranking for.
Category placement
Your product sits inside the category buyers browse, next to the tools they are weighing you against, with filters for pricing model, company size and deployment.
A dofollow link
Paid listings and boosted placements link to your site with a followed link. That is rarer than vendors expect: several large review platforms mark vendor links nofollow.
Review collection that keeps working
Customers can post ratings and written reviews on your profile at any time. The page keeps getting fresher without you touching it.
A profile you can claim and edit
Claim the listing and you control the description, the website link and the vendor details shown to buyers.
How the submission works
Four steps, and the slowest part is you writing the description.
Create your account
Submissions are tied to an account so you can edit the listing later and answer reviews.
Describe the product
Name, website URL, category and a description in your own words. Paid submissions publish the description you wrote, not a rewrite.
Pick free or priority
Free submissions enter the standard moderation queue. The $49 priority submission is reviewed first.
Go live and collect reviews
Your product page, alternatives page and category placement go live together. Point customers at the profile and reviews start landing.

How this compares with the large review platforms
An honest read, including where the big platforms beat us.
| Platform | How vendors pay | Price visibility | Where it wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| SaaS Reviews | Flat fee per listing or per placement week | Published on this page | Early stage and niche products that larger platforms have not catalogued yet |
| G2 | Annual vendor plans, quoted by sales | Not published as a list price | Enterprise buyer reach and brand recognition in RFPs |
| Capterra | Pay per click auction on category placement | Floor price published at $2 per click in the PPC terms | Volume of category traffic in mature software categories |
| Product Hunt | Free to launch, paid promotion optional | Free tier is public | A single launch day spike and early adopter attention |
Worth knowing before you plan a budget: G2 agreed to acquire Capterra, Software Advice and GetApp from Gartner on January 29, 2026, and closed the deal on February 5, 2026. Four of the largest review platforms now sit under one owner, which is a good reason to keep at least one listing outside that group.
Questions vendors ask before they submit
How do I submit my SaaS to a software directory?
Create an account, open the submission form, and enter your product name, website URL, category and a short description. A free submission enters the moderation queue. A $49 priority submission is reviewed first and publishes with the description you wrote and a dofollow link to your site. Most listings are live within a few days of approval.
Is a software directory listing worth it for a new SaaS?
It is worth it when the directory ranks for your category and your profile carries real reviews. The value is not the link on its own. It is owning a page that ranks for "your product reviews" and "your product alternatives", because those are the searches buyers run after they first hear your name.
Do directory listings give you a dofollow backlink?
Here, paid listings and boosted placements carry a dofollow link to your website. That is not standard across the industry: several of the largest review platforms mark outbound vendor links nofollow, so confirm the link attribute before you count a listing as link building.
How much does it cost to list software on a review site?
On this directory it is $49 one time for a priority listing, $299 for a one week boost and $999 for a month of advanced placement. Capterra instead runs a pay per click auction with a $2 per click floor in its published terms, and G2 quotes annual vendor plans rather than publishing a list price.
Can I list a product that is still in beta?
Yes. Beta and pre release products are accepted as long as the website is live and a buyer can actually sign up for the product. Describe the current state honestly in the description, because reviews from confused users do more damage than a late listing.
What happens if someone leaves a bad review?
It stays up if it is genuine. You can claim the profile and respond, and a mix of ratings reads as more credible to buyers than a wall of five star scores. Buyers who only see perfect ratings usually assume the reviews were bought.
