What you actually get
A listing page and a building on an isometric map that people actually pan around, plus upvotes and a weekly leaderboard. The review is fast and the queue is not: the site says approvals take under 24 hours, but a free listing does not appear until the launch week you booked, which was 123 days out when this was walked.

How to submit to SaaSCity

  1. Open the form from the map, signed in
    Submit opens a dialog on /saascity rather than a page of its own, and /submit redirects there. Signed out it shows the sign-up card first: Google in one click, or email and password behind a Cloudflare captcha.
  2. Fill the listing
    Name (60), tagline (100), exactly one category from fourteen, description (50 minimum, 5000 cap). Logo, up to four screenshots, X and GitHub are optional; the logo self-fills from your site's icon if you leave it.
  3. Pick the lane, against the default
    Three cards: Free, Quick Pass at $14.99, Premium at $99.99. Quick Pass is preselected, so Free has to be clicked before the button reads Continue with Free.
  4. Book a launch week
    Fifteen free slots a week, first come first served. Every earlier week is greyed out and marked FULL at 15/15; the first with room was Dec 21-27 2026, 123 days out.
  5. Verify the badge, then submit
    Copy their snippet onto your homepage, press Check my site for the badge, and only then does Submit project stop being disabled. The button says as much underneath it.

Gotchas

The free queue runs about four months deep. Every week between the walk and Dec 20 2026 read 15 of 15 slots taken and was locked; the first bookable free week was 123 days out, with a Skip the queue with Quick Pass button sitting above the list.
Quick Pass at $14.99 is the preselected card on the plan step, so reading the three tiers and pressing the button buys the paid one.
Submit stays disabled until their checker finds the badge in your homepage's raw HTML, which means deploying it before the listing can be sent at all, and their free lane is priced on it staying there.
Every plan card promises a dofollow link, but 18 of 24 live listings sampled linked out with rel="noopener nofollow". The followed ones were a badge holder and a payer, so treat the dofollow as rented rather than granted.
