Stacklist
Conditional free route profile
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
- Building a hub on Stacklist is free (register at stacklist.com/register); a directory profile on stacklistdirectory.com is curated — 'Claim Your Profile' goes through stacklist.app/register and the team builds the profile, so directory inclusion is at their discretion
Requirements
- Not a product directory — it is a resource-hub tool (cards/stacks/hubs) plus a curated directory of 'curators' (people and brands who share collections)
- Directory profiles highlight a curator's favorite products and recommendations across categories (tech, lifestyle, entrepreneurship...); a SaaS would appear as a branded hub/profile, not a listing in a tool catalog
- Directory profiles are explicitly framed for AI-engine discoverability ('designed so AI engines can easily surface expert backed lists')
Prepare before opening the form
- Account email for stacklist.app/register
- Brand name, logo/avatar, and a short curator bio
- Set of links/resources to organize into cards and stacks (product site, docs, launch posts, socials)
- A few 'recommendation' items if positioning as a curator sharing favorite tools
Workflow
- Register at https://stacklist.com/register (or stacklist.app/register)
- Create cards (link + notes + tags) and organize them into stacks inside a branded hub
- Publish the hub — it lives at a public stacklist.com/<slug> URL
- For directory inclusion: use 'Claim Your Profile' on stacklistdirectory.com — the team says they will build the profile for free
Watch for
- The old Stacklist startup-tools directory no longer exists — do not expect a 'submit your SaaS' form
- Directory is invite/claim-based and small (184 curators); acceptance is not self-serve
- A self-made hub page is live immediately but is just a link collection — SEO value is unproven
What counts as live
A public hub URL (stacklist.com/<slug>) resolves and shows the stacks/cards; for the directory, the profile appears among the listed curators on stacklistdirectory.com
Not verified
- Criteria the team uses to accept 'Claim Your Profile' requests
- Whether hub links are dofollow
- Whether business plans affect public-page branding
