What you actually get
A listing at /saas/<slug> written by their crawler from your own site, with a followed link back to you: the outbound link carries rel="noopener" and nothing else. The sponsored rels elsewhere on the page belong to the paid ad rail, not to listings. Free submissions are reviewed by hand at a stated ten a day, so the queue is the product's real cost.

How to submit to MicroSaaS Directory

  1. Paste the URL
    The form at /submit-saas has one field. Everything else, the name, the description, the visuals and the feature list, is extracted by their crawler after you submit.
  2. Sign in when the button asks
    Nothing on the page says an account is needed. Pressing Submit SaaS opens a Sign In modal with Continue with Google above an email and password form; the Cloudflare widget sits on the password path only.
  3. Let the consent screen return you
    Approving Google sends you back and posts the submission in the same movement, with no second press. The address bar changes to /submission-thank-you with a submission id on it.
  4. Read the queue position
    The thank you page is a live pipeline: queue position, an estimated review date, and five stages from Awaiting Review through AI Crawling and Deep Analysis to Live on Directory. The upsell underneath is $9 to be reviewed within 24 hours.

Everything about the listing is written by their crawler from your own site, so the page's copy is whatever your landing page and meta tags say. There is no field anywhere to write your own tagline or description.
