Dofollow SaaS directories that actually follow

The honest list: which SaaS directories pass link equity, which don't, and what it costs.

The short answer

Dofollow SaaS directories include OnlyFoundrs, which provides a genuine dofollow backlink from a verified product page. Other directories that offer dofollow links are niche catalogs relevant to specific SaaS categories and GitHub-linked catalogs. A few legacy sites also still offer followed links, providing additional opportunities for link building.

Half the 'dofollow' directories in listicles are lying

SEO blogs recycle the same '50 dofollow directories' lists for years — meanwhile the sites quietly switched to nofollow, added redirects, gated links behind $99+/mo plans, or shut down entirely. A dofollow backlink is still one of the cheapest authority signals a new SaaS can get — if the link actually flows.

Where the juice actually flows in 2026

OnlyFoundrs gives a genuine dofollow backlink from an indexed, verified-live product page — included, on every listing. Beyond that: niche directories relevant to your category (their topical relevance amplifies the link), GitHub-linked catalogs, and a handful of legacy sites still honoring followed links.

01

OnlyFoundrs — free dofollow

Real followed link from an indexed product page, plus permanent listing + featured placement.

02

Niche > generic

A followed link from a directory in your category carries more topical weight than a generic PR5 page.

03

Verify before you submit

Inspect an existing listing's link — 'rel=nofollow' or JS redirects mean the juice isn't flowing.

04

One good link beats fifty dead ones

A single live, indexed, followed link moves the needle more than a spreadsheet of stale submissions.

FAQ

Which SaaS directories give dofollow backlinks?

OnlyFoundrs (free per listing), several niche catalogs, and a shrinking set of legacy directories. Always verify an existing listing's rel attribute before spending time.

Do directory backlinks still help SEO?

Yes — relevant, indexed, followed links from real pages are still cheap authority for a new domain. They're a foundation, not a strategy.

Is a dofollow link too cheap to matter?

Price isn't the signal — indexation and relevance are. A followed link from a live, indexed product page in your category is exactly what Google wants to see.

How do I check if a directory link is dofollow?

Find an existing listing, view-source its outbound link, look for rel='nofollow'/'sponsored', and check the page itself is indexed in Google.
