A SaaS directory shaped like a live city, where every tool gets a building and a backlink.
SaaSCity is a gamified SaaS and AI tools directory where every submission becomes a building on a live isometric city map, with weekly launch rounds, community voting, and a dofollow backlink for makers.
SaaSCity is a directory for SaaS and AI products that replaces the usual scrolling list with an isometric city map. Every submitted product becomes a building with its own logo, and that building links to a dedicated, indexable listing page under the site's /live path. Instead of a single daily leaderboard, products launch in week long rounds that open every Monday, giving the community time to vote, comment and push a product up the rankings before the next batch of buildings goes up. The mechanics are built around two audiences. Founders get a fixed launch date, a crowd of other builders to be seen by, and a dofollow backlink that stays live once a human reviewer approves the listing, badge-based free submissions included. People hunting for new tools get a map they can browse by category, alongside New and Best rankings that update as upvotes, views and daily activity accumulate, so a building's height becomes a rough proxy for how much real use a product is getting. In practice, listing starts by pasting a URL, which pre-fills the name, tagline, category and logo so the submission form is mostly a review step rather than data entry. From there a founder chooses a free badge-based slot in the capped weekly queue, or a paid plan that skips the badge and speeds up review. A person checks every submission before it goes live, and once approved the backlink, listing page and building all stay in place indefinitely, not just for the launch week. This fits a narrower niche than general app stores or review sites: indie hackers, SaaS founders and marketers who want a one-time, topically relevant backlink and a week of visibility among people who build similar products, rather than a recurring listing fee or a crowded, nofollow directory entry.
Listing is free when the SaaSCity badge is placed on the submitter's homepage, capped at 15 free slots per week. Quick Pass is $19.99 one-time and skips the badge and queue with review inside 24 hours. Premium is $39.99 one-time and adds a team-written launch post with 3 dofollow links.
