How leaderboards and Launch of the Week rankings work

Three ranking systems show community votes, paid placements and domain authority. Launch of the Week badges go to the top vote-getters each week.

Ranking systems

SaaS Directory Info operates three leaderboards, each with its own ranking method.

Community ranks listings by votes alone. This is the core leaderboard for products ordered by visitor engagement.

Billboard is a paid ranking system. Listings here are ordered by money contributed (minimum $5). All Billboard placements are clearly labelled as paid to distinguish them from community-ranked listings.

Domain Rating orders listings by their Ahrefs Domain Rating. Each entry shows the current rating, the direction of change (up, down or no change), and the dates the rating was checked and when it last changed.

Launch of the Week

Every week (Monday to Sunday, UTC) the top 3 launches by votes receive Launch of the Week badges. These are awarded automatically when each week closes. Winners are notified by email.

This weekly honour reflects genuine community preference on the site. No fee or nomination is required—the vote count determines all Launch of the Week winners.

Questions people ask

What's the difference between Community and Billboard rankings?
Community rankings are based solely on votes you receive from visitors. Billboard rankings are paid placements ordered by contribution amount, and they're marked as paid.
How often are Domain Rating scores updated?
Scores are checked on a schedule. Each listing shows when it was last checked and when the rating changed.
When do Launch of the Week winners find out?
Winners are emailed after the week ends (Sunday UTC). The top 3 vote-getters are notified automatically.
