Updated 2026-06-14 · DR data: Domain Rating by Ahrefs

Free does not mean low quality. Plenty of the strongest directories on the web — Indie Hackers, BetaList, SaaSHub, Product Hunt — cost nothing to submit to. The free dofollow set, in particular, is the highest-ROI link building you can do: real authority, real traffic, zero spend. Start here before you pay for a single listing anywhere.

A free, permanent DR 42 dofollow link

SaaSCity is free to submit to (that is us in the list). You get a permanent dofollow link and a spot on a live 3D city map in about two minutes — no card, no catch.

Showing 103 of 103. DR = Domain Rating by Ahrefs.

Mind the freemium upsell

Many directories marked Free + Paidlet you submit for free but charge to skip the review queue or get featured. That is fine — take the free listing, and only pay for a speed-up or feature slot when the directory's authority and audience clearly justify it. The free tier almost always still gives you the link.

Free dofollow first, always

If your goal is link building, filter the table for Dofollow only and work down by DR. Those 83free dofollow directories are the cleanest wins in SEO — there is no reason to pay for a backlink until you have claimed every free one that fits your product.

Claim your first free backlink now

Two minutes, no card — a permanent dofollow listing on SaaSCity, then work down the rest of the free list.
