Write For Us On SaaS, SaaS Technology & SaaS Apps— Paid guest posts + product listings.
Looking for a serious write for us SaaS program in 2026? Make An App Like is a US-based publication with a DA 55+ domain, ~65% American readership, and a 300% annual traffic curve. Every write for us SaaS Technology or write for us SaaS Apps guest post we accept earns up to two permanent dofollow backlinks, editors review submissions in under 30 minutes, and 70% of what we ship hits page 1 of Google for its target query.
A SaaS-focused tech publication + clone-app studio since 2016
Make An App Like is two things at once. We're a clone-app development studio that has shipped 500+ apps for founders in 40+ countries since 2016. And we're a tech publication that publishes long-form playbooks on building, selling and scaling software in 2026.
Our newsroom covers SaaS heavily — B2B SaaS playbooks, vertical SaaS teardowns, AI-native SaaS architecture, SaaS metrics, fundraising, and mobile SaaS Apps. We accept paid contributor articles from SaaS founders, growth leads, devrels, and PMMs who have actually shipped — operator-grade content only.
We also run a public SaaS product directory. If you don't want to write, you can list your SaaS instead and get a permanent product page with rich-result schema, AI-summarised pros/cons, and a moderated review widget — see our published listing for YNAB for a complete example.
This page covers both routes — paid guest posts (article publishing) and paid product listings — with pricing, process, writing guidelines, and sample published work for each.
Six reasons SaaS contributors pick Make An App Like
Every benefit below is verifiable — pull our Ahrefs profile, audit our backlink policy, check the rel attributes on any of our 200+ published outbound author links.
Permanent dofollow backlinks
Every accepted SaaS guest post earns up to 2 contextual dofollow links to your domain. No nofollow, no rel="sponsored", no rel="ugc". The link equity hits Google the same day the post indexes — and stays in place for the life of the article (we never strip links later, never charge a renewal).
Real Google ranking — not just placement
70% of the SaaS content we publish lands in the top three positions for its target keyword. Every article ships with schema markup, IndexNow + Google Indexing API pings, internal-link injection, and a topical-authority pass. You inherit our ranking machinery on day one.
Higher topical authority for your brand
A backlink from a DA 55+ / DR 60+ tech publication moves the needle on your own site's authority. Combine that with a verified author byline (your name, your headshot, your LinkedIn), and you build E-E-A-T signals that Google and ChatGPT use to decide who to trust.
Qualified SaaS leads, not vanity traffic
Our reader profile skews 65% US, then UK / Canada / Australia / India — operators, product managers, senior engineers, growth marketers. They're the people who buy SaaS. Most contributors see their first inbound demo request within 7 days of publication.
Verified reviews on your product page
List your SaaS in our directory and you unlock a public review widget on your product page. Reviews are moderated (no fake-positive padding, no competitor smear) and surface in Google's rich-result panels. Most listings collect 6–12 real reviews in their first quarter.
Built-in distribution from day one
Every approved post is added to our newsletter rotation, syndicated to X + LinkedIn, slotted into "related articles" rails, and tagged for ClaudeBot, GPTBot, and PerplexityBot in llms.txt — so AI assistants surface your work too, not just classic Google search.
Two ways to publish your SaaS on Make An App Like
You can either write a paid guest post (best for thought leadership + dofollow backlinks) or list your SaaS product in our directory (best for review collection + lifetime placement). Many founders do both.

Draft your SaaS article
Rich editor with AI assist, focus-keyword field, meta title/description, OG image. 900-word minimum (1,500–2,500 sweet spot).
Submit — 1 credit consumed
If editors reject the article, the credit is refunded automatically. You never burn a credit on a no-fit submission.
Editorial review in 30 minutes

What gets accepted (and what gets bounced)
The rules are strict but fair. Hit these and your draft clears editorial on the first review.
Length: 900–2,500 words
900 word floor; 1,500–2,500 is the sweet spot that consistently ranks for us. Shorter pieces struggle to build topical depth.
100% original — AI flagged + manually reviewed
Every submission runs through Originality.ai, Copyleaks, and GPTZero, plus a human editorial pass. Heavily-edited AI drafts in your own voice with original analysis are welcome — generic ChatGPT output is rejected.
Format: H2/H3 headings, short paragraphs
Use proper heading hierarchy (one H1, multiple H2s, H3s under them). Paragraphs under 4 lines. Bullet lists where natural. At least one supporting image with alt text.
Up to 2 dofollow links to your domain
Drop them naturally inside the body — homepage, product page, comparison page, whatever you want ranking. Authority citations (Wikipedia, Forbes, Bloomberg, gov data) are uncapped.
Author bio with E-E-A-T signals
60-word bio max, headshot URL or direct upload, LinkedIn or company URL. We display these to surface real-person authority signals to Google and AI crawlers.
Hard no on certain categories
Casino, gambling, sportsbook, CBD, adult, pirated, get-rich-quick — automatic reject regardless of price or pre-approval. Submissions in these niches are refunded.

List your SaaS product — lifetime placement, two tiers
Prefer not to write? Skip straight to a product listing. Same domain authority, same audience, different surface.
Permanent product page. Outbound links rendered with rel="nofollow".
- Public product page with SoftwareApplication schema
- AI-summarised pros & cons (refreshed monthly)
- Moderated review widget (no fake reviews)
- Indexed in directory + category pages
- Outbound links are nofollow
Same listing as Basic, but outbound product links drop the nofollow attribute so SEO juice passes through to your homepage.
- Public product page with SoftwareApplication schema
- AI-summarised pros & cons (refreshed monthly)
- Moderated review widget (no fake reviews)
- Indexed in directory + category pages
- Outbound links are DOFOLLOW
5-step product listing process
Same editorial SLA as articles — most listings go live within an hour of OTP verification.
- 01
Submit your product details
Public form: product name, tagline, website URL, primary category, logo, screenshots, pricing summary. Takes 5–10 minutes.
- 02
Email OTP verification
We send a one-time code to an email on your product's root domain to confirm you control the brand. Stops squatting and competitor sabotage.
- 03
Pick a tier — Basic or Pro
Basic $65 (nofollow outbound links) or Pro $95 (dofollow — link equity passes through). Lifetime placement on both. One-time fee, no renewal.
- 04
Editor review — 30 minutes
Same SLA as articles. Editors check the website is live, the pricing is real, the screenshots match the live product. Approval or feedback within half an hour.
- 05
Live with rich-result schema
Public product page with SoftwareApplication schema, AI-summarised pros/cons, review widget, related-product rail, and inclusion in the directory homepage + category index.
Listing submission guidelines
- Real working product URL (no parked domains, coming-soon pages, or paywalled previews)
- Clear pricing — list the price tiers publicly even if your site says "Contact sales" (we will mark them "Custom" if needed)
- Working logo SVG or 512×512 PNG, transparent background preferred
- 3–6 screenshots of the actual product UI (no mockups, no stock graphics)
- 50-word tagline + 200-word description — speak to what the product DOES, not adjectives
- Honest category — listing a CRM as "AI platform" wastes everyone's time; we move it back during review anyway
Audit a real SaaS product listing before you submit
This is what your product page looks like when it's live — header with tagline, feature grid, pricing table, integrations, AI-summarised pros and cons, moderated review widget, and SoftwareApplication schema for Google rich results.

Every question we get asked weekly, answered straight.
How do I write for us on SaaS topics?
▾
If you're searching for "write for us SaaS" — you're in the right place. Three steps: (1) sign up at /signup with a business email (Gmail/Outlook blocked), (2) pay the one-time $9 activation, (3) pick a content plan from $99 for one article up to $649 for ten. Draft in our editor, hit Submit, and editors approve or return inline feedback in under 30 minutes during US business hours. Live the same day with up to two permanent dofollow backlinks.
What kind of SaaS Technology guest posts do you accept?
▾
For our "write for us SaaS Technology" track we publish operator-grade content: multi-tenant architecture write-ups, billing-infra deep-dives, LLM-powered SaaS teardowns, RAG / agent eval frameworks, SaaS observability, identity infra (SSO/SCIM/OIDC), and migration stories (e.g. moving off a legacy DB or auth provider). The bar is "would a Series-A CTO learn something new" — not "10 reasons SaaS is the future".
Do you accept SaaS Apps guest posts (mobile + subscription apps)?
▾
Yes — "write for us SaaS Apps" submissions covering iOS / Android subscription apps, mobile retention strategy, App Store ranking, paywall design, in-app purchase optimisation, and React Native / Flutter for SaaS are all welcome. Same DA 55+ domain, same dofollow policy, same 30-minute editorial SLA. Successful examples lean on real cohort data, not generic best-practice listicles.
How much does a paid SaaS guest post cost?
▾
Four plans: Starter $99 (1 article), Pair $169 (2 articles), Trio $229 (3 articles — most popular), Pro 10 $649 (10 articles, 2 dofollow links per article instead of 1). Plus a one-time $9 activation fee. All plans 365-day validity. Cheapest published-per-article cost is $65 on the Pro 10 plan.
Are the SaaS guest-post backlinks really dofollow?
▾
Yes — both the in-bio link and the contextual in-body links are dofollow on every plan. No rel="nofollow", no rel="sponsored", no rel="ugc". The links pass full link equity from the moment Google indexes the article. We have never retroactively stripped a link, never demanded a renewal fee, and never auto-deleted a post for SEO churn.
How do I list my SaaS product on Make An App Like?
▾
Two tiers: Basic $65 (lifetime, outbound link rendered with rel="nofollow") or Pro $95 (lifetime, dofollow — link equity passes through to your homepage). Both include a public product page with SoftwareApplication schema markup, AI-summarised pros/cons, a moderated review widget, and inclusion in our directory + category indexes. Process is 5 steps including an email-OTP verification on your root domain. See YNAB — Personal-finance budgeting SaaS for a complete example.
What's a SaaS article that ranks well on your site look like?
▾
No-Code Marketplace Builders Compared: Sharetribe vs Bubble vs Bettermode is a good benchmark. It's a head-to-head no-code SaaS comparison: H2 per platform, side-by-side feature table, real pricing, founder quotes, methodology footnote, and 4 internal links to related articles. It cleared editorial in 24 minutes and ranks in the top 3 for its target query. Same structure works for "Tool X vs Tool Y vs Tool Z" comparisons across most SaaS verticals.
What is your turnaround time on SaaS guest posts?
▾
Median review time during US business hours is under 30 minutes. If we miss the 30-minute SLA, your credit is refunded automatically — you never burn a credit on a stuck submission. Once approved, the article is live the same day with schema markup, IndexNow + Google Indexing API pings, newsletter inclusion, and social syndication.
Do AI-generated SaaS articles get accepted?
▾
We reject AI-generated content 9 times out of 10. Originality.ai + Copyleaks + GPTZero run on every submission, plus a manual editor pass. AI-assisted drafts that have been heavily rewritten in your own voice and contain original analysis (your own product metrics, your own customer interviews, your own benchmarks) are welcome. Generic LLM output that reads like every other SaaS blog gets bounced.
Can I update or remove my SaaS guest post after it's published?
▾
Yes. You can edit your own published articles from the contributor dashboard — body text, links, images, meta data — at any time. Takedown requests are honoured within 24 hours, no questions asked. We never auto-delete posts for SEO maintenance, never strip links retroactively, and never charge a renewal fee to keep your post live.
Why is this the best paid SaaS guest-post site in 2026?
▾
Three reasons most SaaS contributors choose us: (1) DA 55+ / DR 60+ is higher than 90% of sites currently accepting SaaS guest posts; (2) 30-minute editorial SLA is the fastest published turnaround in the niche; (3) dofollow policy is permanent — what we publish today stays live in the same form forever, no link strip-out, no renewal fees. Most "write for us SaaS 2026" queries land on aging directory pages with broken submission flows or sites whose traffic has been flat for two years. Ours is an actively-maintained contributor dashboard with a credit-refund SLA and a verifiable Ahrefs growth curve.
