7 Startup, SaaS & AI Directories Where We Listed InterviewAce — Part 2
Launching a SaaS product is one challenge.
Getting people to discover it is another.
When we launched InterviewAce, we quickly realized that building the product and publishing the website were only the first steps. An early-stage SaaS also needs to build an online presence across relevant product discovery platforms, startup communities, software directories, and launch websites.
One of the strategies we used was submitting InterviewAce to a range of directories and product launch platforms.
This is the second part of our directory series. In the first part, we covered five platforms where InterviewAce was listed. We've since added more listings, so this article covers another seven platforms worth checking out.
These are not hypothetical examples.
InterviewAce is actually listed on every platform mentioned below, and we're including the direct InterviewAce listing URL for each one.
The goal isn't to submit your SaaS to hundreds of random websites.
The goal is to identify relevant platforms where your product can have a real, permanent presence and where potential users can discover it.
Why Directory Listings Can Be Useful for a New SaaS
A directory listing can provide more than just a backlink.
A useful product listing can give you:
- Another page where people can discover your product
- Referral traffic
- Brand exposure
- A permanent or long-lived product page
- Another source of product information
- A potential backlink
- Social proof
- Access to a new startup or developer audience
The value depends heavily on the quality of the directory.
A real, maintained product directory is very different from a website that exists only to sell links.
That's why we prefer relevant platforms where actual products are being launched, reviewed, ranked, or discovered.
1. KittyLaunch
KittyLaunch is a launch and discovery platform aimed at indie makers, SaaS founders, startups, and small product teams.
It combines product listings with launch campaigns, community voting, reviews, deals, and other product-discovery features.
KittyLaunch is particularly interesting because a product isn't limited to a single listing page. The platform also provides additional discovery surfaces, including deal pages.
Our InterviewAce product page
Our InterviewAce deals page
InterviewAce Deals on KittyLaunch
We're including both links because they serve different purposes.
The main product page represents the InterviewAce listing itself, while the dedicated deals page gives the product another public URL and another way for people to discover the offer.
That's an important distinction when you're building a broader online presence: don't automatically treat every secondary page as redundant. Sometimes a product's main listing and its deal, review, or launch page serve completely different discovery purposes.
KittyLaunch itself describes the platform as a place where makers can launch products, create product listings, share deals, collect feedback, and build an audience.
For a small SaaS, that's a useful combination because the directory is doing more than simply displaying a company name and URL.
2. Twelve.Tools
Twelve.Tools is a directory focused on online tools and software, with categories covering areas such as AI, productivity, developer tools, marketing, SEO, and many other types of software.
InterviewAce has its own dedicated listing under the Artificial Intelligence category.
Our InterviewAce listing
The listing describes InterviewAce as a real-time AI copilot for interviews and provides a direct route to the InterviewAce website.
One useful thing about Twelve.Tools is its emphasis on hand-picked tools and daily discovery rather than treating the website purely as a giant company database.
The platform also explicitly advertises a dofollow backlink as part of its submission proposition.
For SaaS founders, that's an interesting combination:
product discovery + a relevant software directory + a potential backlink.
3. Wired Business
Wired Business is another software and technology directory where products receive their own dedicated listing page.
InterviewAce is listed under Artificial Intelligence.
Our InterviewAce listing
InterviewAce on Wired Business
The listing presents InterviewAce as an AI interview copilot and links directly to the product website.
Wired Business is particularly interesting because it follows the same general model as several of the other technology directories we've used:
A product gets its own page, the page contains information about the product, and visitors can follow through to the actual website.
The platform also currently advertises a dofollow backlink for submitted websites.
Again, the important part isn't simply the word "dofollow."
The more important question is whether the directory creates a useful, relevant page about your product.
4. SaaS Fame
SaaSFame is a directory specifically focused on SaaS products.
That topical relevance is one of the reasons we decided to list InterviewAce there.
The site describes itself as a platform for discovering and showcasing SaaS products across categories such as AI, DevTools, marketing, productivity, finance, security, and many others.
Our InterviewAce listing
The InterviewAce page includes the product description, feature overview, categories, tags, and a direct link to the InterviewAce website.
This is exactly the type of directory we like for SaaS products.
The listing isn't just:
Product Name → URL
It provides context.
A visitor can understand what the product does, what category it belongs to, and why someone might use it.
That makes the listing useful even without considering SEO.
5. AIToolFame
AIToolFame is focused specifically on AI products and tools.
For InterviewAce, that makes it particularly relevant because the product uses AI throughout both interview preparation and real-time interview assistance.
Our InterviewAce listing
The InterviewAce listing describes the platform's real-time AI assistance, resume and job-description grounding, mock interview functionality, multilingual support, and other product features.
This is another good example of why topical relevance matters.
InterviewAce isn't simply being listed on a random website.
It's listed on a platform where someone is actively looking for AI tools.
That's the kind of context you want when expanding the online presence of a new AI SaaS.
6. EarlyHunt
EarlyHunt takes a launch-oriented approach.
The platform is designed around helping early adopters discover new AI products and startup launches, with weekly launch cycles and community voting.
The platform currently says it has more than 1,900 builders and makers and covers categories including Artificial Intelligence, SaaS, Developer Tools, Productivity, and others.
Our InterviewAce listing
The InterviewAce page is a dedicated project page on EarlyHunt.
EarlyHunt is also an interesting example of why you should look beyond a simple "backlink/no backlink" calculation.
Its current launch model distinguishes between different link types. Free launches use nofollow links by default, while the platform offers dofollow links for winning launches and guaranteed dofollow links as part of its premium launch option.
That's actually useful information for founders because it demonstrates something important:
not every directory handles backlinks the same way.
Check the actual rules of the platform before submitting.
7. Nick Launches
Nick Launches is another product and startup discovery platform focused on showcasing interesting products and startups.
InterviewAce has its own dedicated product page there.
Our InterviewAce listing
The listing gives InterviewAce another dedicated online presence and another route through which someone can discover the product.
This type of product directory can be particularly useful for early-stage SaaS businesses.
At the beginning, you don't necessarily have thousands of people searching for your brand by name.
You need to create more opportunities for people to encounter the product.
A listing on a startup or product discovery platform is one way to do that.
What We Learned From Part 2
After submitting InterviewAce to a growing number of directories, one thing became clear:
Directory submissions work best when they're treated as distribution rather than link collecting.
It's easy to get obsessed with numbers:
"How many backlinks do I have?"
But that's not the best question.
A better question is:
"How many legitimate places exist where someone can discover my product?"
Every useful listing creates another potential discovery path.
For example:
Search → SaaS directory → InterviewAce
Or:
Founder browsing products → launch platform → InterviewAce
Or:
AI tools directory → InterviewAce listing → InterviewAce website
Or:
Article → directory listing → InterviewAce
The more legitimate discovery paths you create, the less dependent your product becomes on a single traffic source.
What About Do-Follow Backlinks?
This is where founders need to be careful.
Some directories provide standard links.
Some use nofollow.
Some use ugc.
Some provide different link types depending on whether you choose a free or paid submission, win a launch competition, or complete a verification process.
For example, Twelve.Tools currently advertises dofollow backlinks, while EarlyHunt explicitly distinguishes between nofollow free launches and dofollow opportunities for winning or premium launches.
So don't assume:
"It's a directory, therefore it's a dofollow backlink."
Check the actual listing.
Check the HTML.
Check the platform's current submission rules.
And most importantly, don't submit to a low-quality website simply because someone claims that it provides a dofollow link.
How We Approach Directory Submissions
For a new SaaS, we'd recommend building a simple directory-tracking spreadsheet.
Track:
| Directory | Submitted | Listing URL | Link type | Traffic | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KittyLaunch | ✓ | ✓ | Check listing | — | Product + deals |
| Twelve.Tools | ✓ | ✓ | Dofollow advertised | — | AI category |
| Wired Business | ✓ | ✓ | Dofollow advertised | — | AI category |
| SaaSFame | ✓ | ✓ | Check listing | — | SaaS directory |
| AIToolFame | ✓ | ✓ | Check listing | — | AI directory |
| EarlyHunt | ✓ | ✓ | Depends on launch | — | Weekly launches |
| Nick Launches | ✓ | ✓ | Check listing | — | Product directory |
This makes it much easier to understand which directories are actually worth your time.
After a few months, you can compare:
- Which directories send visitors
- Which listings rank in search
- Which directories have active communities
- Which listings generate signups
- Which link types are being used
- Which platforms are worth repeating for future products
That's much more useful than blindly submitting your product to hundreds of websites.
Don't Build a Wall of Badges
One final lesson from doing this ourselves:
You don't need every directory badge on your homepage.
If you add twenty or thirty badges to your landing page, the result can look more like an SEO campaign than a SaaS product.
Choose carefully.
Use badges where they genuinely add credibility or satisfy a directory's verification requirements.
Keep the main website focused on your product.
The directories should support the product rather than become the product's identity.
Final Thoughts
A directory won't magically make a SaaS successful.
You still need a useful product, a good website, customers, content, distribution, and a reason for people to care.
But directories can be a valuable part of the early-stage growth stack.
They give your product additional discovery surfaces.
They create dedicated pages around your brand.
They can generate referral traffic.
They can provide social proof.
And, depending on the platform and its current rules, they can also provide useful backlinks.
That's why we've continued submitting InterviewAce to relevant platforms instead of relying on a single launch site.
The goal isn't:
"Get as many backlinks as possible."
The goal is:
"Make it easier for the right people to discover what we've built."
That's the strategy we've been using with InterviewAce.
And these seven directories are another batch of platforms worth considering for your next SaaS launch.
Build the product. Launch it. Then give people more ways to find it.
