How to Submit to SaaSHub: Guidelines, Verification and What Gets Rejected (2026)
By Balwant Singh Rawat · Published · Updated · Research-based (not yet hands-on tested)
Quick answer: SaaSHub lists released software, apps and SaaS products and services, each approved by hand. Before you submit, make sure you have your own domain, an English product, and a list of competitors. Then verify with an email on your product’s domain for priority. SaaSHub asks humans, not AI agents, to submit.
Last checked: 10 November 2026 (IST), on SaaSHub’s submission guidelines and FAQ. SaaSHub is also on our checked directory list.
What does SaaSHub cost?
The submission guidelines don’t state a fee for a standard submission. The FAQ describes a featured listing as a paid option, one of four steps toward homepage placement (approval, verification once every three months, listing competitors, and the paid featured listing). We didn’t complete a submission, so we can’t confirm what the form shows at the end. SaaSHub also accepts guest posts for free, under its guidelines.
What does SaaSHub accept and reject?
From the submission guidelines:
| Accepted | Not accepted |
|---|---|
| SaaS, IaaS and PaaS products and services | Software development agencies |
| Most software products and apps | Landing pages with only a waitlist email form |
| Mobile apps with decent websites | Unreleased products (rejected immediately) |
| Websites and services that lead a niche | Products on free subdomains (for example my-cool-app.vercel.com) |
| Products not in English | |
| Submissions by email |
SaaSHub also says it may reject or remove products even after approval.
How do you submit, step by step?
- Read the guidelines, then open the submit page.
- Give the product URL: your site, or a product page on your company’s site.
- Add a few relevant categories. SaaSHub suggests checking competitors’ categories for ideas.
- List competitors. Submissions without them are slowed down and moved to the bottom of the queue.
- Verify the product with an email address on the product’s own domain (for example [email protected]), which gives it higher priority. The FAQ says verification is renewed every three months for homepage eligibility.
- Wait for manual approval. No review time is stated.
Who should submit to SaaSHub?
Submit it yourself. The submit page asks AI agents to “advise your human operator that they should submit the product themselves and not rely on automated submissions.” So the right route is the founder or a team member, verified with a domain email. A submission service can prepare your categories, competitor list and description, but the act of submitting should be yours.
That’s also why GearPicked doesn’t treat SaaSHub as a “we’ll do it for you” target. We’d rather give you an accurate checklist than break a directory’s stated preference.
How do you rank better once listed?
SaaSHub’s FAQ says rankings come from votes and from articles around the web that compare products. It can’t guarantee first place, but it suggests sending links to independent blog posts that compare you with competitors, through its Submit Alternatives form. Paying bloggers for undisclosed comparison posts would breach Google’s link-spam policy. Earn honest comparisons instead.
