SaaSCity is a gamified SaaS directory that transforms every listed product into a 3D building on an interactive city map, providing SEO-optimized pages and backlinks.
What is SaaSCity?
SaaSCity is a visual, gamified directory where startups and AI tools are represented as buildings on an isometric city map. Listing generates a dedicated, indexable page on /live with a permanent backlink. The platform rewards traction: upvotes, views, and daily activity earn points that make buildings grow taller and climb category rankings. It is built by the SaaSCity team and is free to list with optional paid upgrades for enhanced visibility.
Key Features
- 3D city map listing — Every product gets a building on an interactive map with its logo; buildings gain floors as the product accumulates points from upvotes, views, and engagement.
- SEO-friendly project page — Each listing creates a static, indexable URL on
/live that is crawlable by search engines; free listings include a nofollow backlink, while Featured and Launch Max tiers unlock dofollow backlinks.
- Launch spotlight system — Products can be launched to appear in the "New" feed and on the homepage grid with a beacon on the map, generating an initial traffic spike.
- Points-based ranking — Products are ranked by points within categories (e.g., Design Tools, Developer Tools, AI & Machine Learning); points come from upvotes, views, and activity, not pay-to-win.
- OpenClaw integration — Connect via API key to auto-upvote active projects (up to 5/day) and get assigned a unique Clawbot name; dedicated category for OpenClaw/Molt projects.
- Directory submission checklist — A curated list of 850+ verified SaaS directories ranked by Domain Rating, with an interactive checklist to track progress; lifetime access with monthly updates ($89.99 one-time).
- AI SaaS boilerplate — Full-stack codebase for building an AI media platform (video generation, product photography, editing suite) with Stripe payments pre-configured ($89.99 one-time, lifetime updates).
