SaaSCity vs SubmitSaaS

Both services submit your SaaS to directories for about a dollar a directory. They differ on speed, how open they are about the list, what the report tells you and how refunds work. Every SubmitSaaS figure below was read on its own site in October 2026.

Done-for-you submission to 50 to 150 directories, report in 7 to 14 days

SubmitSaaS logo

SubmitSaaS

60+ to 140+ directory submissions, delivered in 48 hours

The short answer

The price per directory is about the same. SubmitSaaS is faster and more open about its list. SaaSCity tells you which submissions went live. SubmitSaaS charges $60, $100 or $140 for 60+, 100+ or 140+ submissions, as of October 2026. It promises a 48-hour turnaround, publishes its whole directory list, and refunds in full within 30 days with no questions asked. It does not tell you which submissions were approved. SaaSCity charges $49, $99 or $179 for 50, 100 or 150 directories, adds 10 to 30 extra sites, and takes 7 to 14 days. Our report lists every outcome and every live URL. Neither service controls the result: each directory decides what it lists.

Disclosure: SaaSCity sells a competing service, so read this with that in mind. No money moves between SaaSCity and SubmitSaaS. SubmitSaaS did not see this page before it went live.

  1. aSubmitSaaS prices from submitsaas.com on October 5, 2026: Basic $60 ("60+ directory submissions guaranteed"), Standard $100 (100+), Premium $140 (140+), all one-time, all marked "Paid directories are not included". The page also says "PayPal or Crypto are also accepted." SaaSCity prices are on /directory-submission-service. Price per directory is the smallest order divided by its size, rounded; SubmitSaaS counts are minimums, so its real price per directory can be a little lower.
  2. bSubmitSaaS homepage and FAQ on October 5, 2026: "48-hour turnaround time" on every package, "smart automation combined with human review", and "The complete list of directories and platforms is available on our homepage", shown as a searchable table with DR, type, pricing and link type. Our delivery time is counted from payment, per package, in our Refund Policy section 2.5. Our page shows a sample of directories, and the report lists all of them.
  3. cSubmitSaaS FAQ on October 5, 2026: "Your submissions are tracked in a Google Sheet, including detailed reports and verification screenshots" and "No, we do not provide a list of approved submissions", because each directory reviews on its own timeline. It creates a dedicated email for the sign-ups and hands over the login; it uses your own email if you ask. Our report lists each submission with its outcome on the day we send it.
  4. dSubmitSaaS pricing and FAQ on October 5, 2026: "Increase your Domain Rating up to DR 10" (Basic), "up to DR 15" (Standard), "up to DR 20" (Premium). The FAQ says "These figures are potential targets based on previous results" and that it guarantees the number of submissions, the turnaround and the report. Domain Rating is a score from Ahrefs, a third party. SaaSCity makes no promise about it.
  5. eSubmitSaaS Terms, last updated October 1, 2026: "If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with our service, we offer a full refund with no questions asked. Simply contact us within 30 days of your purchase." SaaSCity’s refund terms are in our Refund Policy, section 2.5.

Full overview

SaaSCity logo

SaaSCity

SaaSCity is a SaaS launch directory drawn as a city map, where each product is a building with its own page on a DR 65 domain. The directory submission service runs from your SaaSCity listing, so you list there first, for free. You pick a package and pay once: 50 directories for $49, 100 for $99, or 150 for $179, each with 10 to 30 extra sites with medium and high authority. We fill in every form, high-DR sites first, and email a report of every submission, its outcome and every live URL within 7 to 14 days. An optional badge component can add up to 50 directories. We make no promise about listings, links, rankings or DR, because each directory decides what it lists.

SubmitSaaS logo

SubmitSaaS

SubmitSaaS is a done-for-you directory submission service for SaaS products. You pay, fill in one onboarding form, and it submits your product to the directories on its public list, using automation with a human check, within 48 hours. As of October 2026 it costs $60 for 60+ submissions, $100 for 100+ and $140 for 140+, one-time. It creates a dedicated email for the sign-ups and hands you the login at the end, and the report is a Google Sheet with screenshots. It does not track which submissions were approved. Each package names a DR it is "designed to help" you reach, which the FAQ calls a potential target. Its terms offer a full refund within 30 days, no questions asked. The site also has free tools and directory lists.

Which one should you pick?

Pick SaaSCity if

  • You want to know which submissions went live, with the URLs.
  • You want extra sites on top of the package, and the option to add more with the badge component.
  • You want your product listed on SaaSCity as part of the same work.
  • A report within one to two weeks is fast enough for you.

Pick SubmitSaaS if

  • You need everything submitted within 48 hours.
  • You want to read the full directory list before you pay.
  • You want the broader refund: 30 days, no questions asked.
  • You want to pay with PayPal or crypto.
  • You do not want to list your product on SaaSCity first.
  • You want to keep the directory accounts under one email you control.

Skip both if your product is not live yet, has no clear description, or has no Terms and Privacy pages. Many directories reject those. A fast submission does not mean fast approval: some directories take weeks or months.

What we would do

For a typical bootstrapped SaaS, written by one of the two sides.

  1. 1

    Do the top ten by hand first.

    The biggest launch sites reward a personal launch more than a form. Use our best SaaS directories list and do those yourself.

  2. 2

    Pick on what you need to know afterwards.

    If speed and a public list matter most, SubmitSaaS fits. If you want to know which submissions went live, SaaSCity fits.

  3. 3

    Check back after a month.

    Approvals arrive over weeks. Search for your product on the directories that were pending and fix any listing with an old description.

Directory listings help people find you and add some links. They do not replace content, a working product or customers telling others about you.

Directory Submission Service

We fill in the forms for you

50 to 150 directories from $49, one-time. The report of every submission and live URL arrives within 7 to 14 days.

  • 10 to 30 extra sites with medium and high authority

FAQ

Got questions? We've got answers.

Is SaaSCity or SubmitSaaS cheaper?
About the same. As of October 2026 SubmitSaaS charges $60, $100 or $140 for 60+, 100+ or 140+ submissions, about $1.00 each. SaaSCity charges $49, $99 or $179 for 50, 100 or 150 directories, from about $0.98 each, plus 10 to 30 extra sites.
Which one is faster?
SubmitSaaS. It promises every submission within 48 hours. SaaSCity emails the report within 7 to 14 days of payment, depending on the package. Both are submission times. Directories then approve on their own schedule, sometimes weeks or months later.
Will I know which directories approved my product?
With SaaSCity, yes, as far as we can see on the day we send the report: it lists every submission, its outcome and every live URL. SubmitSaaS says plainly that it does not provide a list of approved submissions. Its Google Sheet shows each submission with a screenshot.
Does either one guarantee a Domain Rating increase?
No. SubmitSaaS names a DR for each package, up to 10, 15 or 20, and its FAQ calls these "potential targets based on previous results". What it guarantees is the number of submissions, the turnaround and the report. SaaSCity makes no promise about DR, rankings, listings or links. Domain Rating is a score from Ahrefs, a third party.
Which refund policy is better?
SubmitSaaS’s. Its terms give a full refund within 30 days of purchase, no questions asked. SaaSCity refunds in full before work starts, if we cannot deliver, or if the report is late. After work starts, a change of mind is not refunded, except where EU and UK consumer law says so.
Who owns the directory accounts?
SubmitSaaS creates a dedicated email for the sign-ups and gives you the login with the report, or uses your own email if you ask. For directories that only allow Google sign-in, it uses its own Google account. SaaSCity’s service page does not cover account handover, so ask us before you order if that matters to you.
Is this comparison biased?
It is written by SaaSCity, which sells a competing service. Every SubmitSaaS figure comes from its own site on October 5, 2026, and the rows SubmitSaaS wins are marked as wins for SubmitSaaS.
