Frequently asked questions
How do I get developer tools for free?
List your own SaaS on SwapSaaS, then propose a swap with a founder offering a developer tool. You each grant the other free access — no money changes hands.
What's the catch?
You need a SaaS product of your own to offer in return. That's it — SwapSaaS is free to use, and every listing shows exactly which tier and duration the founder is offering.
Is this better than a startup deal or discount?
Deals expire and discounts still cost money. A swap costs $0 in cash — you trade access to your product for ship faster and keep production healthy, and you get a real founder using your tool in return.
How do I know the offer is real?
Each listing states the exact plan, monthly value, and duration on offer, and founders review each other after every completed swap.
