150,000+ listed products
by Stan BrightSaaSHub has been growing in all directions for the last several months. One of these directions is the number of new products submitted to the marketplace -150,034 as of now. If you checks the timeline here on IH, you can see that my previous similar report was for 100k products in Dec 2019. That's about 83 new products listed on average every day (based on a quick and imprecise calculation).
While that number might not be stunning for some investors, I'm proud of it given that it's a one-man-army show. What is more, I've been told (by an investor) that SaaSHub is starting to make some of the leaders in the space (like Capterra & G2) a bit uneasy 🙈.

What is more, I've been told (by an investor) that SaaSHub is starting to make some of the leaders in the space (like Capterra & G2) a bit uneasy at night.
I suspect you have been misinformed. Happy to talk privately about business models.
Three pieces of advice:
- Never describe yourself as "a one-man-army show." Your customers, the ones paying you, do not care at all. To the extent they do care it will scare the crap out of them.
- Don't focus on making your competitors uneasy, focus on providing value to your customers (the companies who are paying you).
- Don't focus on the number of products you have collected under you tent but the number of new customers who are happy with the tools they found after browsing your site.

Thanks @skmurphy! 🙇
Yup, my focus is definitely providing value to both SaaSHub's customers and normal users using the platform. In that regard, having the most objective lists with alternatives is definitely amongst the top priorities. That's one of the reasons why there are no affiliate listings, too.

I love SaaSHub. I used it before I knew it was made by an Indie hacker. I love that it is a one man army and that you can't tell by browsing it. One would think it is a company who made it. Too bad you stopped sharing stats at /open !
