Are paid listings ranked differently from voted ones?

Yes. Billboard positions are paid placements, clearly marked as Sponsored. Community and Domain Rating leaderboards are not influenced by payment.

When are Launch of the Week badges awarded?

Automatically at the end of each calendar week (Sunday, UTC). The top 3 launches by votes that week receive the badge and are emailed.

What does Domain Rating show me?

It ranks listings by their Ahrefs Domain Rating with the trend and dates of the last check and change, helping you assess a company's online authority and growth.

How are rankings and Launch of the Week awards decided?

Leaderboards rank by community votes, paid position, or domain authority. Launch of the Week badges reward the week's top performers.

Updated 3 October 2026

SaaS Directory Pro maintains three separate leaderboards so you can review what matters to your shortlist.

Community leaderboard

Rankings here reflect votes from the community only. This is your primary measure of peer assessment across the site.

Paid rankings

Listings can secure a Billboard position by contributing $5 or more. These are clearly labelled as Sponsored so you know they are paid placements, not voted rankings.

Domain authority board

This leaderboard ranks listings by their Ahrefs Domain Rating. You'll see the trend (up, down or no change) and the exact dates when the rating was checked and when it last moved. Use this to assess the stability and growth of each company's online authority.

Launch of the Week

Each calendar week (Monday to Sunday, UTC), the top 3 launches by community votes automatically receive a Launch of the Week badge. These awards are granted when the week closes, and winners are notified by email. This gives you a quick way to spot which new products gained the strongest early traction.
