SaaSGrow
Conditional free route community
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 listing requires embedding the SaaSGrow badge on your website
- Free listing is approved only after the badge is verified on your site
Requirements
- A startup/indie project with a public website that can carry the badge (free path)
- Leaderboard is activity-driven — value comes from posting build-in-public updates, not just listing
Prepare before opening the form
- Product name, URL, description, logo
- Badge HTML ready to deploy before submitting (free path)
- Founder profile details (leaderboard rows display the founder name)
- Decide Free vs Basic ($9 one-time, instant approval + dofollow, no badge) vs Pro ($9/mo, up to 10 listings, X cross-posting)
Workflow
- Open https://saasgrow.app/submit (Submit your Startup)
- Pick the Free plan ('Submit Free Listing') or a paid tier
- Add the SaaSGrow badge to your site (free path) and wait for verification
- Once approved, publish posts/updates — they rank the leaderboard and can cross-post to Threads, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook (Basic+)
Watch for
- Free tier does NOT include the dofollow backlink — the pricing page only grants 'DoFollow Backlink' on the $9 Basic tier and up
- X cross-posting is Pro-only; Basic covers Threads/Bluesky/LinkedIn/Instagram/Facebook
- FAQ inconsistency: canceling Pro is described as making new submissions cost '$5 per listing' while the Basic tier is sold at $9 — confirm at checkout
- Payments via Dodo Payments
What counts as live
A public startup profile page under saasgrow.app/startups, visible in 'Recently added' and eligible for the leaderboard once posts are published.
Not verified
- Badge verification mechanics (crawler vs manual)
- Account/sign-in requirements for the submit flow
- Whether the free listing includes any link (dofollow excluded per pricing page)
