# IndieAscent

> A distribution command center for indie SaaS, with a community attached. Track a product and every place you have put it becomes one dated log: a crawler rechecks each placement, says when a listing dies, and reads whether the directory links back and whether that link is dofollow.

The catalog of launch directories records what each one asks for and what its link back is worth, read off real listings we watch rather than copied from a list. Where we have not checked something, the page says so rather than guessing.

Tracking one product is free, with no card and no trial. Pro is $15/month, account-scoped rather than per product, and adds more products, sweeps every 24 hours instead of weekly, and tagged links that report which placement produced a signup. Listing in the directory is optional and separate: a product can be tracked without being listed.
