Conditional free route directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

What the free route requires

  • Posting ads is 100% free, but ads are local classifieds tied to a city — a SaaS product can only be posted as a service/business ad in a chosen city, not as a product listing
  • Listings auto-deactivate after ~3 months and must be renewed from the account

Requirements

  • Account registration (email) — plus optional phone verification for a trust badge
  • Pick a city and correct category (Services/Buy & Sell are the closest fit for software)
  • Ad title, description, photos; reasonable pricing info where applicable

Prepare before opening the form

  • Decide target city/region and category
  • Short ad copy + images
  • Account email; phone number if seeking the verified badge

Workflow

  1. Register/login at locanto.com (browser — site 403s automated fetches)
  2. Click 'Post free ad' → /posts/create
  3. Select city and category, enter title/description/photos, publish
  4. Ad goes live within minutes; log in and renew before the ~3-month deactivation

Watch for

  • This is a local classifieds board — generic SaaS announcements can read as spam; frame as a real service offering in a specific city
  • Ads expire after ~3 months (email warnings at 1 week and day-of)
  • Personals/community categories carry scam risk — keep the ad professional
  • Site 403s automated fetches — browser required

What counts as live

The ad is publicly visible on the Locanto city category page and reachable via search

Not verified

  • Whether outbound links/URLs are allowed in ad text and their follow treatment
  • Moderation turnaround for flagged categories
  • Whether repeated city postings of the same service get blocked as duplicates
