Monthly visits are for the whole site, not for your listing. "Not checked" in the link column means we haven't confirmed the link on a live listing yet. Capterra isn't in the table: since G2 bought it in 2026, you manage a Capterra listing through G2's vendor login. See G2 vs Capterra for software vendors.
Sites that work like SaaSHub
SaaSHub's model is the alternatives page: someone searches for a tool they want to leave, and sees yours next to it. These 12 directories work the same way. The top three get most of the traffic. Below them, they're small but cheap to list on, and the visitor is already comparing tools.
| Directory | DR | Monthly visits | Cost to list | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| European Alternatives | 73 | 371K | Free | Not checked |
| Open Alternative | 60 | 250K | Paid, from $97 | Dofollow |
| Open Source Alternative | 50 | 203K | Free, paid extras | Not checked |

What SaaSHub alternatives cost
Of the 42 software review and alternatives sites besides SaaSHub, 33 list you for free, 3 want a badge on your site for the free listing, and 6 are paid only. The big ones are all free. Open Alternative ($97 one-time) is the only directory with more than 100,000 visits a month that charges to list.
Free doesn't mean every listing does something. Review sites like G2, TrustRadius and PeerSpot only start to help when you have reviews, and most of them sell paid vendor plans for lead data and extra placement. You don't need those to be listed.
Free SaaSHub alternatives with dofollow links
These 12 are free, need no badge, get at least 10,000 visits a month, and have given listed products a followed link: SourceForge, AlternativeTo, Alternative.me, TrustRadius, CrozDesk, SaaSworthy, Serchen, Spot SaaS, SelectHub, Appvizer, FindStack and Tiny Startups. G2, Software Suggest and PeerSpot links are nofollow. Check your own listing once it's live; our backlink quality checklist shows how.
Which ones to list on
If people switch to you from a known tool: AlternativeTo and Alternative.me first, then the smaller alternatives directories above.
If you're open source: SourceForge, Open Source Alternative, Osalt and Open Alternative. Open Alternative is paid; the others are free.
If you sell to businesses: G2, TrustRadius, PeerSpot, SelectHub, Software Suggest and Appvizer. The profile is free but does little until you have reviews, so ask your first happy customers. See how to get your first software reviews and B2B software review sites.
If you're European or privacy-focused: European Alternatives lists software made in Europe, with about 371,000 visits a month.
For general discovery: CrozDesk, SaaSworthy, Serchen, Spot SaaS and FindStack. Free and quick to set up.

Listing on all of them with your own AI agent
Software directories ask for the same details in different shapes: a short tagline here, a 500-word description there, different category names everywhere. AgentLaunch is a directory-submission kit you open in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Your agent picks the directories that fit from a catalog of 300+, writes copy sized for each form from one product brief, and fills the forms in a real browser. It hands you CAPTCHAs, payments and two-factor codes, and records every listing URL and link type. The Self-Host License costs $149 once.
