SaaSHub Alternatives (2026)

SaaSHub is two things at once: a free software directory that hands out a dofollow link from a ~DR 75 domain, and an "alternatives to X" engine that ranks for high-intent searches. So "SaaSHub alternatives" means two different things. Pick your reason — the right answer changes completely.

Straight talk first: SaaSHub is genuinely good and free, with a real dofollow link. Nothing here is about replacing it — it is about what to add alongside it. We build a competing directory (SaaSCity), and we only recommend it below where it is honestly the right fit.

If you want to get your SaaS listed

For backlinks, domain authority, and long-term discovery. These all offer free listings (most with a dofollow link), so the move is to list on several — not pick one.

1.SaaSCity

Free; paid tiers from a one-off fee

Different angle from SaaSHub: your product is a building on a live city map with its own indexable page, a launch feed, and community votes — discovery that compounds, not a static row. Be honest with yourself: SaaSHub gives a free dofollow link, so list on both.

Best for: A live, gamified listing that keeps getting discoveredBacklink: Free = nofollow · paid = dofollow

2.AlternativeTo

Free

The original alternatives engine. A listing here rides the same high-intent "alternatives" searches SaaSHub is built on.

Where SaaSCity fits

If you want more than a static row — a launch moment, community votes, and a permanent building on a live city map that keeps pulling discovery — list on SaaSCity. Free to start (nofollow), with a dofollow link from a DR 45 domain on paid tiers. Keep your SaaSHub listing too; they do different jobs.
