SaaSDB has four plans. Free lists your product in exchange for our badge, after a short queue. Basic, at $19, goes live today with the Checked by SaaSDB badge. Pro, at $49, adds an author page and a comparison page. Premium, at $125, adds a hands-on review and media outreach. Every plan gets the same fact check.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no shortage of places to list a SaaS. Most of them will take your money, publish whatever you type into the form and give you a badge that says you were listed. A few weeks later the listing is buried under a thousand others, the price on it is out of date and nobody who reads it can tell whether anything on the page is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We built SaaSDB the other way round, and our plans follow from that. This article explains what each plan includes, what you are actually paying for and why we think it is worth more than a listing somewhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why founders choose SaaSDB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A listing is only worth having if people read it and trust it. That is the whole idea behind SaaSDB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every listing shows the same facts, in the same place: the pricing model, the starting price, how billing works and what the free plan or trial includes. We confirm those facts on the product’s own website before we show them, and every listing tells buyers the date of the last check. When a price changes, the listing changes and the old price goes into its history. When a product stops working, we take it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is what makes a SaaSDB listing different from a line in a list of links. Buyers can compare your product with its alternatives without opening ten pricing pages, and they can trust what they read. How the whole directory works is explained in How SaaSDB Works<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free: a listing in exchange for our badge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The free plan is a real listing, not a teaser. Your product gets its own page on SaaSDB, its pricing facts are checked on your website like everyone else’s, and it appears in its category, its use filters and any collections it fits. Once we verify our badge on your site, your listing links to your site with a link that search engines follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trade is simple. You show our badge, and you wait. Free listings join a short queue after the badge is verified and go live within seven days. For a founder with time and no budget, it is a good deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic: live today, with a badge that means something<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Basic costs $19, once. It is for founders who want to go live now and don’t want our badge on their site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast publication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Basic listing goes live as soon as your payment is confirmed. There is no queue and no badge to verify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your main facts checked<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We confirm your pricing model, starting price, billing model and free plan on your own website, and your listing shows them with the date of the check. If something can’t be confirmed, we leave it out rather than guess, so buyers know every fact on your listing was visible on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Checked by SaaSDB badge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Basic listings earn the Checked by SaaSDB badge once their facts match. Unlike a badge that says “listed”, it tells anyone who sees it on your site that an independent directory confirmed your pricing, and on which date. It links to an explanation of what was checked, so visitors don’t have to take it on trust. You can read more in Meet Our Badges: Checked and Reviewed by SaaSDB<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your own page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your product gets its own listing page on SaaSDB, with a followed link to your site and no badge required on yours. The page carries structured data for your product with a stable identifier and your checked prices, and we give you a short sameAs snippet to add our listing to the structured data on your own site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro: Basic, plus a stronger identity in search and AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pro costs $49, once. It includes everything in Basic and adds two things that help search engines, AI assistants and buyers connect your product with the people behind it and with its alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An author page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The founder gets a page on SaaSDB with Person structured data, linked to the product they make. Founders can cite it in the sameAs list of their own site or profile, so the product, its maker and its checked facts point to each other. AI tools rely on consistent descriptions from independent sources to understand who is behind a product, and this page is one of them. We explain how this works, and what each plan adds, in How SaaSDB Helps Search Engines and AI Understand Your Product<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A comparison page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pro listings get their own comparison page, where buyers see your product next to its closest alternatives, compared on the same checked facts. The page opens with a short introduction to your product that links to your site in context. It is the only contextual link we give, and it sits on the page buyers open when they are deciding between tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium: Basic, plus a review buyers can read<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Premium costs $125, once. It includes everything in Pro and adds the two things that move a buyer from interested to convinced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hands-on review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We sign up for your product like a customer, use it for the job it promises to do and publish a full report on SaaSDB: what worked, what didn’t and who the product suits. The review carries Review structured data, so search engines and AI tools can read it as a dated, independent opinion. Your listing then shows the Reviewed by SaaSDB badge, with the date of the test and a link to the review, and you can show the same badge on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the part founders ask about most, so it is worth being clear. You pay for the test, not for the verdict. We publish what we find, and the badge always links to the full review. That is exactly why a SaaSDB review is worth having. A review that could be bought would be worth nothing to the people reading it, and so worth nothing to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A comparison page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Premium listings get their own comparison page, where buyers see your product next to its closest alternatives, compared on the same checked facts. The page opens with a short introduction to your product that links to your site in context. It is the only contextual link we give, and it sits on the page buyers open when they are deciding between tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media outreach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once your review is published, we share it with media outlets, so it can reach readers beyond SaaSDB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What no plan can buy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some things are not for sale on any plan, and they are the reason the paid plans are worth buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No plan changes the facts on your listing. Every listing goes through exactly the same check, and a price we can’t see on your website doesn’t appear on your listing, whatever you paid. No plan buys a positive review. And no plan comes with a promise about Domain Rating. We explain why in Why SaaSDB Doesn’t Sell Domain Rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you pay for is speed, the badges that prove the work we did, structured data that helps search and AI tools understand your product, a review buyers can read and a page that puts your product next to its alternatives. Those are worth something precisely because the rest can’t be bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which plan is right for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have more time than budget, choose Free, show our badge and let the queue do its work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to be live today, or you would rather not show our badge, choose Basic. For $19 you get a listing buyers can trust and a dated badge that says so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want search engines and AI tools to connect your product with its founder and its alternatives, choose Pro. For $49 you get an author page and a comparison page on top of Basic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want buyers to see what your product is like before they sign up, choose Premium. A hands-on review, an author page, a comparison page and media outreach for $125 is less than some directories charge for a featured spot that only lasts a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can choose a plan when you submit your product<\/a>, and see everything side by side on our pricing page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Are the paid plans subscriptions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No. Basic, Pro and Premium are one-time payments. Your listing stays on SaaSDB for as long as your product works, and we keep checking its facts over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I upgrade to a higher plan later?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Contact us and we will move your listing to the new plan. If you move to Premium, your review is added to our weekly tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens if my review is negative?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We publish it as it is, because that is what makes our reviews worth reading. Every report says who the product suits, and many products that aren’t right for one kind of buyer are exactly right for another. If you fix something we criticised, tell us and we will look at it again when we update the review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does the free plan have a queue?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because checking every listing takes time, and paid listings are checked first. The queue is short, and a free listing goes through exactly the same check once its turn comes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
