Do I need business experience to review SaaS?

Some business experience helps you understand use cases. Even freelancing or running a side project gives you enough context to evaluate tools meaningfully.

How do SaaS review channels make money?

SaaS affiliates ($50-500 per signup + recurring), YouTube ads (₹200-600/1K views), consulting, and sponsored reviews from SaaS companies.

What SaaS content gets the most views?

Tool comparisons ('X vs Y'), 'best tools for [use case]' lists, free alternative recommendations, and pricing breakdown content.

How often should I post?

2-3 review/comparison videos per week and daily SaaS tip Shorts. Cover new tool launches and pricing changes promptly.

How to Start a SaaS Product Review YouTube Channel in 2026 (Complete Guide)

Last updated: February 25, 2026

Step-by-Step Guide

Choose your SaaS category

Pick 1-2 categories (project management, CRM, marketing tools) and become the expert. Deep expertise in one category beats shallow coverage of many.

Use tools extensively before reviewing

Spend 2-4 weeks with each tool before reviewing. Surface-level reviews lose credibility with business audiences.

Create comparison matrices

Side-by-side comparisons with clear scoring criteria are the most valuable SaaS content format.

Show real workflows

Don't just list features — show how you actually use the tool in your business. Workflow demos convert viewers to users.

Maximize affiliate revenue
