Crozdesk
crozdesk.comCrozdesk is a directory for SaaS. We went through its submission pages in October 2026: what it costs, the link you get, who gets in and how to submit.
How much does Crozdesk cost?
Listing on Crozdesk is free if you wait your turn.
Basic listings and the initial vendor application are free; no mandatory backlink or badge was found. Products are screened against eligibility criteria: business or creative-use web software, English-language, live and no longer in beta, product-centric, useful, and not a clone or fraudulent. Applications may be automatically assessed or manually reviewed, and approval is discretionary. Credentials are generally sent within 24 hours; the listing itself has a separate, unspecified review after it is completed in the vendor panel.

Extras they sell
- PPC promoted placements Starting/default bid of $6 USD per click; Revleads FAQ states a $1,000 USD minimum monthly budget
- Auction-based, pay-per-click promotion in sponsored category sections and across network listicles, with CTA links to vendor landing pages and campaign analytics. FAQ says vendors pay for clicks received. The signup application’s required marketing-budget selector also offers “No Budget” and “Less than $1,000,” so the relationship between that application question and the campaign minimum is not fully clear.
