What is a free dofollow directory?

A directory that lists your product at no cost and links to your site without rel="nofollow", "ugc" or "sponsored" on the link. A followed link passes ranking signal to your domain and counts toward your Ahrefs Domain Rating. Every directory on this page was free and dofollow when it was last checked.

How is this list different from other free directory lists?

Most free lists mix in nofollow sites such as Product Hunt, and most dofollow lists mix in paid ones. This page only shows the overlap: free to submit to and dofollow. The paid and nofollow directories are on the full SaaS directory list.

How many free dofollow directories should I submit to?

Twenty to forty relevant ones, not all 424. Ten strong, relevant dofollow links do more than a hundred from thin directories, and DR is logarithmic, so every point takes more work than the last.

Are directories below DR 30 worth it?

Rarely on their own. A link from a weak domain adds little, and the time is better spent on the higher bands. The exception is a small directory built for your exact niche, where the visitors count for more than the link.

Do nofollow directories still matter?

Yes, for visitors. Product Hunt, Hacker News and AlternativeTo are nofollow and still worth doing for the traffic. They just don't move your Domain Rating, which is why they are not on this page.

Can I use the same description on every directory?

Keep the product name, URL and category identical everywhere, and rewrite the first line for each audience. Moderators reject copy that reads like it was pasted into fifty forms, and identical text across dozens of pages gives search engines nothing new to index.

How long before the links show up?

Search engines have to recrawl the listing first. A new referring domain often shows up in Ahrefs within a few weeks; any effect on rankings takes longer and depends on the rest of your site.

Is a SaaSCity listing free and dofollow?

Yes, with conditions, and it is our site. A listing gets a dofollow link and a permanent profile page. The free route needs our badge on your site and a slot in the weekly launch queue; Quick Pass ($19.99) skips both.

Read this first

Every row was free and dofollow when it was last checked. Sites change their terms. Before you count a link, open your own listing and check the rel attribute.
26 of them want a badge back. They list you for free only if you link to them from your site. That is a reciprocal link: fine for the few you value, a bad trade at twenty.
Pick by fit first, then by DR. Many of the general directories are local business listings built for companies with a street address. A software product gets more from the launch, discovery and review sites.
Rather not fill in the forms? Our directory submission service submits your product to 50 to 150 directories, from $49, high-DR sites first, and emails you a report of every live URL.

How to check that a directory link is dofollow

A directory can describe its links as SEO-friendly and still mark every one of them nofollow. Checking takes a minute.

Open a listing that has been live for a while Pick a product that has been on the directory for a few months, not one added this week, and on the same tier you plan to use.
Inspect the link Right-click the link to that product's website and choose Inspect. Find the <a> tag that points to the product.
Read the rel attribute No rel attribute, or one without nofollow, ugc or sponsored, means a followed link. rel="nofollow", "ugc" or "sponsored" means the link passes no ranking signal, whatever the pricing page says.
Check more than one listing Look at two or three listings on the same tier. Some directories give a followed link only to paid or featured entries and mark the free ones nofollow.
Look at the rendered page Some sites add nofollow with JavaScript after the page loads, or send the link through a redirect. Inspect the page in the browser, not the raw source, and check that the href goes straight to the product's domain.

To check the DR of any directory yourself, use the free Domain Rating checker. DR on this page is DR = Domain Rating by Ahrefs, last refreshed October 4, 2026.

Red flags before you submit

Free in the headline, nofollow on the listing
Some directories advertise free submission and mark free listings nofollow unless you pay. Inspect a live free listing before you fill in the form.
Nothing added in months
Open the "new" or "recently added" page. If the newest listing is months old, nobody is running the site, and your submission may never be reviewed.
Instant approval
A real directory reviews what gets submitted. If you are live seconds after hitting submit, nobody is checking anything, including the spam next to you.
Listings missing from Google
Search site:thedirectory.com plus the name of a product it lists. If individual listings don't show up, a link from one won't help you.
Hundreds of directories for a few dollars
Bulk submission packages push your URL onto sites nobody visits, many of them link farms. The result can look like a link scheme to a search engine.

Questions about free dofollow directories

What is a free dofollow directory?: A directory that lists your product at no cost and links to your site without rel="nofollow", "ugc" or "sponsored" on the link. A followed link passes ranking signal to your domain and counts toward your Ahrefs Domain Rating. Every directory on this page was free and dofollow when it was last checked.
How is this list different from other free directory lists?: Most free lists mix in nofollow sites such as Product Hunt, and most dofollow lists mix in paid ones. This page only shows the overlap: free to submit to and dofollow. The paid and nofollow directories are on the full SaaS directory list.
How many free dofollow directories should I submit to?: Twenty to forty relevant ones, not all 424. Ten strong, relevant dofollow links do more than a hundred from thin directories, and DR is logarithmic, so every point takes more work than the last.
Are directories below DR 30 worth it?: Rarely on their own. A link from a weak domain adds little, and the time is better spent on the higher bands. The exception is a small directory built for your exact niche, where the visitors count for more than the link.
Do nofollow directories still matter?: Yes, for visitors. Product Hunt, Hacker News and AlternativeTo are nofollow and still worth doing for the traffic. They just don't move your Domain Rating, which is why they are not on this page.
Can I use the same description on every directory?: Keep the product name, URL and category identical everywhere, and rewrite the first line for each audience. Moderators reject copy that reads like it was pasted into fifty forms, and identical text across dozens of pages gives search engines nothing new to index.
How long before the links show up?: Search engines have to recrawl the listing first. A new referring domain often shows up in Ahrefs within a few weeks; any effect on rankings takes longer and depends on the rest of your site.
Is a SaaSCity listing free and dofollow?: Yes, with conditions, and it is our site. A listing gets a dofollow link and a permanent profile page. The free route needs our badge on your site and a slot in the weekly launch queue; Quick Pass ($19.99) skips both.
