The SaaS graveyard problem

44,000+ dead products on SaaSHub. 13.6% of listings are dead. We're fixing the graveyard problem.

The short answer

A SaaS graveyard refers to a directory of dead or inactive software as a service tools. OnlyFoundrs prevents this issue by verifying listings as live and allowing users to report dead links, which are then flagged and hidden from view. This ensures the directory remains clean and useful.

SaaS directories have a graveyard problem

SaaSHub's own product graveyard commemorates 44,183 discontinued software products with an average lifespan of just 6 years. Yo.directory reports that 13.6% of all published listings are dead. A Zarek audit found that 2 of 29 startup directories they tested no longer exist at all. Directories rot because listing something dead costs nothing — and a directory full of dead links is worse than no directory at all.

FAQ

How do you detect dead listings?

Two ways: visitors can report dead links with one click (after 3 reports, a listing is flagged as 'Possibly dead'), and we probe listing URLs to verify they're still live. Confirmed dead listings are hidden from browse and search.

What happens if my product goes down temporarily?

A listing is only hidden after 3 reports or confirmed dead status. Temporary downtime won't get your listing removed. You can also mark your listing as 'maintenance mode' from your dashboard.

Can I relist a product that was marked dead?

Yes. If your product comes back online, you can request a relisting from your dashboard. We'll verify it's live and restore it.

Why don't other directories do this?

Most directories have no incentive to remove dead listings — more listings means more pages means more ad revenue. We prioritize quality over quantity. A clean directory is more useful for everyone.
