About SaaSy Trends
What Is SaaSy Trends
SaaSy Trends is a searchable SaaS company database, built for people who want to know which parts of the SaaS market are actually growing. It covers more than 30,000 companies across roughly 2,000 categories, and the ranking you see first is growth in brand search volume rather than revenue, funding, or headcount.
The problem it goes after is narrow and practical. If you're hunting for a product idea, a marketing model to copy, or an acquisition target, the useful question isn't "what exists" but "what's rising". General trend tools answer that for the whole internet. SaaSy Trends answers it only for software, which means the companies on a screen are all plausibly competitors of each other.
The main limit is what the number represents. Brand search volume is a proxy for customer growth, not a measurement of it. A company can be searched heavily and still be losing money, and a quiet enterprise vendor with long contracts can look flat here while doing fine. Treat the charts as a signal to investigate, not a verdict.
Getting Started
- Open the SaaS database page. You can browse without an account, and a large share of the ranked companies is visible before you register.
- Set the timeframe to 4 years, 2 years, or 1 year, then narrow by category, sub category, and business model (B2B, B2C, or both).
- Add a minimum and maximum volume range if you want to skip tiny brands or the giants, then search by product type or technology.
- Read the growth line for each company you keep. The ranking is sorted from fastest to slowest growth, so the top of a filtered list is where the interesting gaps sit.
- Buy the $29.99 lifetime license to unlock the full database, then click the star on any company panel to add it to your tracking dashboard, up to 100 products.

Key features
A 30,000 Company Database
The core asset is size. More than 30,000 SaaS businesses are tracked, with new ones added continuously rather than on a fixed release schedule. For SaaS market research that matters, because the useful comparison is often a small vendor nobody has written about, and a short list of famous names won't surface it.
Brand Volume as the Growth Signal
SaaS growth tracking here rests on one signal. For each company, SaaSy Trends identifies the brand terms people actually type, then tracks the search volume of the most popular variant month by month. "What would someone search to find this company" is the question being answered, and it's a reasonable stand-in for customer growth. The tradeoff is that a rebrand or a name collision can distort a line.
Timeframe and Category Filters
You can look at 4 years, 2 years, or 1 year of history, then slice by category, sub category, and business model. With 2,000+ categories in play, the sub category filter is the part that does the real work. It's the difference between "AI tools are growing" and "this specific kind of AI tool is growing".
Volume Bands and Search
Minimum and maximum volume filters let you cut both ends off the list: micro brands with noisy data and giants whose growth has flattened by arithmetic. The search box matches descriptions rather than names, and quoted phrases force an exact match when a loose query returns too much.
Company Tracking Dashboard
Paid users get a star icon on every company panel. Starring a company adds it to a dashboard where your tracked trends sit together, capped at 100 products on the individual plan. That cap is generous for a solo founder and tight for an agency watching several markets.
Free Tools and Case Studies
The site ships a set of free generators alongside the database: a SaaS idea generator, plus generators for terms of service and privacy policy documents, and a Google Docs to HTML converter. There's also a research blog with category deep dives and case studies of fast-growing SaaS companies, delivered by newsletter roughly once a week.
Pros and cons
Pros
- One payment of $29.99 for lifetime access, which undercuts the monthly subscriptions most trend platforms charge and removes the "cancel before renewal" decision.
- The SaaS-only scope is the point: no consumer fads, no crypto, no gadgets, so a filtered list is closer to a usable competitor set.
- Growth is shown over 1, 2, or 4 years, which separates a spike from a trend better than a single "trending now" badge.
- You can browse a meaningful portion of the database before paying, so the purchase decision isn't blind.
- Free extras (idea generator, policy generators, newsletter case studies) add value outside the paid product.
Cons
- Search volume is a proxy, so a company with strong enterprise contracts and little brand search will look weak here. That limits how far you can trust a low ranking.
- No revenue, funding, or traffic data sits next to the growth lines, which means every promising company needs a second source before you act.
- The tracking dashboard stops at 100 products on the individual plan, so anyone monitoring a wide market will end up keeping spreadsheets alongside it.
- The operation is small and the data pipeline is monthly, so very recent shifts in a category can take weeks to appear, and there's no public API to pull the data into your own tools.
