SaaSHunt Platform Help
Helps the user submit to, optimize listings on, and get the most from SaaSHunt.ai — an AI-powered SaaS discovery directory where businesses find, compare, and choose software tools.
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge.
Ask the user:
-
What do you need help with?
- A) Submitting a product to SaaSHunt
- B) Understanding the backlink value (DR49 dofollow)
- C) Optimizing my listing for visibility
- D) Comparing SaaSHunt with other directories
- E) Something else — describe it
-
What's your product?
- A) SaaS / software tool
- B) AI tool / ML product
- C) CRM / ERP / business operations
- D) Marketing / analytics platform
- E) Something else
-
What's your primary goal?
- A) SEO backlinks (dofollow)
- B) Visibility to businesses evaluating software
- C) Demo requests from potential customers
- D) All of the above
If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the request maps to a different skill, route:
- Multi-directory launch strategy →
/sales-launch-directory
- Product Hunt launch →
/sales-producthunt
- Email marketing to subscribers →
/sales-email-marketing
- Landing page optimization →
/sales-checkout
- Audience growth strategy →
/sales-audience-growth
- Other specific directory platforms → hand off to that platform's skill
Otherwise, answer directly from the SaaSHunt reference below.
Step 3 — SaaSHunt platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — platform overview (DR49, dofollow free backlink, 8 B2B categories, no public API), the template-based submission process (download an Excel template, fill offline, upload — unlike most form-based directories) and required form fields, listed-product features, best-effort vendor pricing (Free / ~$49/mo Pro / ~$120/mo Premium), the directory comparison table (vs StartupBase / Startup Stash / PitchWall), and the good-fit / not-ideal guidance.
Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
For users submitting (free tier)
- Visit saashunt.ai/list-your-software/
- Download the Excel template — this is unique to SaaSHunt, most directories use online forms
- Fill out the template thoroughly — include detailed feature descriptions, pricing tiers, integration list, and use cases. The more complete, the better your listing
- Prepare assets — company logo (high-res), 2-3 product screenshots showing the UI in action, pricing PDF if available
- Choose the right category — pick the single best-fit category from the 8 options. If your product spans multiple (e.g., a CRM with marketing automation), pick the primary one
- Submit via the web form — fill in contact details, upload template and assets
- Add UTM tracking:
?utm_source=saashunt&utm_medium=directory&utm_campaign=launch
For users considering Pro/Premium
Pro ($49/mo) and Premium ($120/mo) get enhanced visibility through AI-powered promotion and priority placement. The ROI depends on your customer acquisition cost:
Worth considering if:
- Your ACV is high enough that even 1-2 demo requests/month justifies the cost
- You want to test SaaSHunt's AI-powered matching for your category
- You're in a less competitive category where featured placement stands out
Probably not worth it if:
- Your primary goal is backlinks — the DR49 backlink is the same whether free or paid
- SaaSHunt's traffic (~107/mo) is too low to justify ongoing monthly spend
- You're budget-constrained — spend on higher-DR or higher-traffic platforms instead
For multi-directory launchers
SaaSHunt fits into Phase 3 — Free editorial queues in a multi-directory strategy. Submit on Day 1 alongside other free-queue platforms and let it go live whenever the review completes. The DR49 dofollow backlink is mid-range — better than StartupBase (DR39) and JustGotFound (DR23), but below the median of directories like MicroLaunch (DR59) or Startup Stash (DR65).
The template-based submission takes slightly longer than typical form-based directories (10-15 minutes vs 5 minutes), but it's a one-time effort for a permanent backlink.
Gotchas
Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about features and pricing that may be outdated.
-
Template-based submission is unusual. Most directories use online forms. SaaSHunt requires downloading an Excel template, filling it out, and uploading it. This adds friction but may result in higher-quality listings.
-
Very low traffic. ~107 monthly visits per LaunchDirectories data. This is primarily a backlink play, not a traffic or lead generation source. Set expectations accordingly.
-
Limited categories. Only 8 categories (HR, CRM, Accounting, ERP, Marketing, PM, Risk Management, Retail/POS). If your product doesn't fit cleanly into one, it may not be a good fit.
-
Pro pricing may vary. The ₹3,999/mo and ₹9,999/mo figures are from research — verify current pricing and what's included before committing.
-
Review timeline unclear. No published SLA for how long editorial review takes. Could be days or weeks.
-
Newer platform. SaaSHunt.ai is relatively new with limited reviews and community discussion. The platform and its features may evolve.
-
Self-improving: If you discover something not covered here, append it to references/learnings.md with today's date.

Examples
Example 1: Submit a B2B SaaS tool for backlinks
User says: "I want to submit my HR software to SaaSHunt for SEO backlinks"
Skill does:
- Confirms HR is one of SaaSHunt's 8 categories — good fit
- Walks through the template download and submission process
- Explains DR49 dofollow — mid-range among directories, free
- Recommends filling out the Excel template thoroughly for best listing quality
- Suggests adding UTM tracking and submitting as part of a broader directory sweep
Result: Product submitted with realistic expectations about DR49 value and traffic
Example 2: Evaluate if SaaSHunt is worth submitting to
User says: "Is SaaSHunt worth the effort? The traffic seems really low"
Skill does:
- Confirms ~107 monthly visits is very low — sets realistic traffic expectations
- Explains the value is the DR49 dofollow backlink, not referral traffic
- Notes the template submission takes 10-15 minutes — low effort for a permanent backlink
- Compares with other directories: better DR than StartupBase (39) and JustGotFound (23), lower than most others
- Recommends it as part of a Phase 3 free editorial queue sweep alongside higher-value submissions
Result: Informed decision with clear tradeoff analysis (low effort, mid-range DR, negligible traffic)
Example 3: Compare SaaSHunt with other SaaS directories
User says: "How does SaaSHunt compare to other directories for listing my CRM tool?"
Skill does:
- Shows comparison table with DR, backlink type, traffic, and focus for SaaSHunt vs peers
- Notes SaaSHunt's B2B SaaS focus is relevant for CRM (it's one of their 8 core categories)
- Recommends higher-priority directories for CRM: G2, Capterra (reviews), Product Hunt (launch), Fazier (DR81 backlink)
- Positions SaaSHunt as a secondary submission for cumulative backlink value
Result: Clear priority ranking with SaaSHunt in context among competitors
Troubleshooting
Submission template is confusing or incomplete
Symptom: Downloaded the Excel template but unclear what fields to fill in or what format to use
Cause: Template-based submissions are unusual among directories. The template may lack clear instructions.
Solution: Fill in every field you can. For descriptions, write 2-3 sentences covering what the product does, who it's for, and key differentiators. For features, list them as bullet points. For pricing, include all tiers. When in doubt, over-provide — the editorial team can trim.
Listing not appearing after submission
Symptom: Submitted days/weeks ago, listing isn't visible on saashunt.ai
Cause: Editorial review timeline isn't published. Newer platforms may have variable review cycles.
Solution: Check your email for any confirmation or follow-up from SaaSHunt. If no response after 2+ weeks, try reaching out via their social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram @saashunt.ai). Meanwhile, submit to instant-listing platforms (ProductBurst, SoloPush, DevHunt) to get live immediately while waiting.
Product doesn't fit any of the 8 categories
Symptom: Your SaaS tool doesn't cleanly fit HR, CRM, Accounting, ERP, Marketing, PM, Risk Management, or Retail/POS
Cause: SaaSHunt has a limited category structure compared to broader directories.
Solution: If your product partially fits a category (e.g., a developer tool with project management features → Project Management), submit under the closest match. If none fit at all, skip SaaSHunt and focus on more general directories like Startup Stash (200+ categories), Product Hunt, or Altern (if AI-focused).
