How to Submit to SaaS.fyi: A 2026 Walkthrough

SaaS.fyi is a lightweight SaaS directory in the .fyi tier: quick submissions, categories, minimal editorial. Cheap citation with modest reach.

The short answer

SaaS.fyi is worth a submission once the product has a working site and a pricing page. Earlier usually means a rejection, a resubmission, and a slot that arrives after the audience moved on.

What SaaS.fyi is

A SaaS tools directory with category pages and short product cards linking out. Sign-up and submission both live at saasfyi.com.

Before you touch the form

Have two things ready before the form opens: the category slug you checked, and a description that fits one card line. These cards truncate rather than wrap, and a sentence cut in half survives on the page for years.

Submitting, in order

1. Run a site: query
2. Check your category URL
3. Submit if indexed
4. Write to their card length
5. Verify the attribute

One thing that catches people out

On catalogues built on newer TLDs, indexation is uneven: some category pages are indexed and some are not. A listing on an unindexed page is a form you filled in, so run a site: query on the category before writing anything.

What it is good for

Buyers comparing software browse these catalogues with a problem in mind, so a listing written in outcome language can produce trial signups months later.

Checking indexation before you submit

Search site: plus the domain and your category name. If nothing returns, look at a neighbouring category. When the whole domain is thin, the listing is a citation at best, and the ten minutes are better spent on a directory whose pages actually appear.

Checking what you actually got

• Open your listing, not the homepage, and confirm it loads
• Inspect the outbound anchor for rel="nofollow", "ugc" or "sponsored"
• Check the anchor points at your canonical URL, not a redirect
• Search the listing URL in Google after six weeks
• Log the result with the date you checked

Where SaasHunt fits

For the launch side, SaasHunt is the one with a fixed clock: go-live at 08:00 UTC, daily and weekly Top 5 deciding who reaches the newsletter, dofollow on every approved listing. Free is $0 with a badge and a queue that can run 270 days; $9.9 skips the line, $12.9 buys the earliest slot plus a permanent featured placement, $49 adds a written review, $50 adds ten DR 30–65 dofollow links.

Submit your product

Two things before the form

The category slug you verified, and a description that fits one card line. Everything else can be prepared while the form is open; those two cannot.

Both require looking at the site rather than at your own notes, which is why they come first.

Truncation rather than wrapping

These cards cut text instead of wrapping it, so a sentence clipped in the middle stays on the page for years and reads as carelessness.

Write the description as a fragment that is complete at the cut. If you cannot tell where the cut is, match the neighbours.

Indexation is uneven on newer TLDs

Sites on newer domains often have partial indexation: some category pages are crawled, others are not, and there is no pattern you can predict from the outside.

Run a site query before writing anything. A listing on an unindexed page is a form you filled in.

The category slug check

Open the category URL directly rather than trusting the dropdown label. If it 404s or redirects to the homepage, the category is not real yet.

Five seconds of checking prevents a listing that appears nowhere.

What a lightweight directory returns

A permanent page, occasionally indexed, with a followed link if you are lucky. Traffic is negligible.

The return is a referring domain in a set that needs dozens, and the price is ten minutes.

Verifying a week later

Confirm the page resolves, the link is followed, and the description rendered whole. Then record the row with the attribute.

If the description was truncated to nothing, submit a shortened version or accept the defect.

Setting expectations for the tier

This tier produces coverage, not authority. Judged as coverage it is efficient; judged as link building it is disappointing.

The difference is entirely in the expectation you bring to it.

Short domains, short patience

Catalogues on newer domains are often run by one person and updated in bursts. The listing may appear weeks later without notice.

Set the check at six weeks rather than five days, and do not interpret silence as rejection.

FAQ

Is submission free?

Usually, sometimes with a paid tier. Check the page, then verify the link rather than trusting it.
