SaaSDB gives two badges, Checked and Reviewed, and neither one says “listed”. Checked means we confirmed a product’s pricing on its own website and show the date we did it. Reviewed means we used the product ourselves and published what we found. Both badges keep their date, so anyone can see how recent they are.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t just list<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most directories hand out a badge the moment a product goes live. It usually says “Featured on” or “Listed on”, and it proves one thing: somebody filled in a form. It says nothing about whether the price on the listing is right, whether the free plan still exists, or whether anyone has ever opened the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We think a badge should tell a buyer something they can use. So we only give a badge for work we have actually done on the product, and each badge carries the date of that work. A listing on its own earns no badge at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We check. That’s why our badges will not say “listed”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Checked by SaaSDB badge means we compared the product’s pricing facts with its own website and they matched. Those facts are the pricing model, the starting price, how billing works and what the free plan or trial includes. When a founder submits a product, they tell us these details and confirm they match their site. We then look for them on the product’s website before we show them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we find the starting price where the founder said it would be, the listing shows the facts with a “Checked” date. If we can’t find it, the listing goes live without pricing facts until we confirm them. We never publish a price we could not see on the product’s own site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices change, so the date matters as much as the check. When we confirm the facts again, the date moves forward, and any change in price goes into the listing’s price history. A buyer can see what the product cost before and when it changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We review. That’s why the Reviewed badge links to the review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are starting hands-on tests of two SaaS products a week. We use each one for real and publish a report of what worked, what didn’t and who the product suits. The Reviewed by SaaSDB badge marks a product that has been through one of those tests. Founders who want their product tested can order a review with our Premium plan: they pay for the test, not for the verdict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A review badge that you can’t click through to is just a logo. Ours shows the date of the test and always links to the published review, so anyone who sees it on a product’s website can read exactly what we said. If we test the product again later, the badge points to the newest report on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the badges appear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both badges appear on the product’s listing on SaaSDB, next to its pricing facts. Founders can also show them on their own website with a short piece of code from our badge page<\/a>. The badge image updates itself: it always shows the date of our latest check or review, and it stops working if the listing is no longer checked or reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The badges come with paid listings bought from November 11, 2026. Basic, Pro and Premium include the Checked badge, and Premium adds the Reviewed badge, because Premium includes a hands-on review of your product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What each plan includes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every listing gets its pricing facts checked, whatever the plan, because buyers should be able to trust every listing on SaaSDB. What changes with the plan is what you get on top. Free listings go live after a short queue in exchange for our badge on your site. Basic, at $19 one-time, goes live straight away and earns the Checked by SaaSDB badge. Pro, at $49 one-time, adds an author page and a comparison page. Premium, at $125 one-time, adds a hands-on review with the Reviewed by SaaSDB badge and media outreach. Each plan is explained in SaaSDB Plans: Free, Basic, Pro and Premium, and Why Founders Choose Us<\/a>, and side by side on our pricing page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can I buy a Checked badge?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can buy the plan that includes it, but not the check itself. The Checked badge comes with Basic, Pro and Premium, and it only appears when the pricing facts on your listing match your own website. Paying does not change what we confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens to my badge if I change my prices?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The badge keeps the date of our last check. When we confirm your new prices, the date moves forward and the change goes into your listing’s price history. If you want us to check sooner, contact us after you update your pricing page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does a Reviewed badge mean the review was positive?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No. It means we tested the product and published an honest report. That is why the badge always links to the review: readers can judge for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why don’t older listings have badges?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The badges start with paid listings bought from November 11, 2026. Older listings, and free ones, still show the date we last checked their facts on the listing page.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
