Conditional free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free plan requires embedding the SaaSCity badge on your site (verified during submission)
- Free listings face a ~203-day review queue and publish on scheduled Monday drops
Requirements
- SaaS/startup product suitable for a public listing
- Human review applies to every listing; paid plans get priority review within 24h
- A live site where the badge can be placed (free path only)
Prepare before opening the form
- Product name, URL, tagline/description and logo
- Badge HTML ready to embed on the site footer/homepage for the free path
- A preferred spot in mind for the isometric city map placement (included on all plans once approved)
Workflow
- Open https://saascity.io/saascity?submit=1 (Submit my project / Add Project)
- Choose Free, Quick Pass ($19.99), Premium ($39.99) or Max ($99) — all one-time
- On Free: add the site badge and wait for verification during submission
- Join the queue (free) or get priority review within 24h (paid)
- After approval, pick the building's map placement
Watch for
- ~203-day stated wait on the free queue — the paid Quick Pass exists specifically to skip it
- Premium adds an editor-written launch blog post (3 dofollow links); Max adds a 2x2 map building, 5-link post, and 30-day billboard/ticker/homepage ads
- Badge verification happens during submission on the free path
- Site offers an MCP server for agents at /mcp and an llms.txt
What counts as live
The product's building is visible on the SaaSCity interactive map and its listing page on saascity.io resolves with a followed link.
Not verified
- Exact submit-form fields (submission surface is a JS-rendered map app)
- Whether an account is required before the submit flow
- Actual vs stated queue time for free listings
