Should I use SubmitSaaS?

Increase your SaaS visibility by submitting to 140+ directories. Save time, gain high-quality backlinks, and grow your reach with minimal effort. - submitsaas.com

· 1 month ago

Buy if you're an indie SaaS founder who'd rather pay $60-105 than spend ~30 hours on manual submissions, and you accept unverified results. Skip if you need guaranteed approvals, real traffic, or a vendor with serious security posture.

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

FAQ admits no approved-submissions list — you pay even for directories that reject you

medium

Pricing is inconsistent across the web: $30, $45, $60, up to $140 per product

medium

Per-product pricing shifts economics badly vs $29-lifetime rivals if you launch repeatedly

low

Near-identical clones (SubmitMatic) share the same price ladder — little differentiation

What users say

Mixed: users like the hands-off speed and some report DR gains, while skeptics warn bulk directory links rarely convert to users.

“Be careful with “done-for-you” directory services most are just bulk submissions.”
Reddit, r/aiToolForBusiness
“@submitsaas gave me a solid DR boost within two weeks of purchasing”
Testimonial featured on SubmitSaaS site
“Then I did what every launch playbook tells you to do. BetaList ($299), TAAFT ($49), SaaSHub ($75), SubmitSaaS ($60).”
Reddit, r/buildinpublic

$60 one-shot submission to 100+ directories. Fast and cheap, but no proof of approvals and weak signup ROI.
