Who won
August was the first full month with both saasrocket.space games running. Two products took the crowns, and neither of them is ours.
ManagedHorizons won Deep Space Run, the survival dodger at saasrocket.space/game, with 1,278 km. That is 127,871 distance units, set on 18 August at 23:28 UTC in a single run lasting 2 minutes 43 seconds. No one has recorded a higher score in the game.
TicketsData won Star Hopper, the gravity-slingshot delivery game at saasrocket.space/hopper, with 38,114 points across 16 hops. That run was set on 17 August at 17:00 UTC, took 4 minutes 8 seconds, and used 21 shots in total.
A score belongs to the listing you attach it to. Win a month and we write up your product here, with followed links to your site and your listing.
Deep Space Run: ManagedHorizons, 1,278 km
ManagedHorizons launched on saasrocket.space at 23:19 UTC on 18 August. They logged a run of 62,410 at 23:25 UTC, then 127,871 at 23:28 UTC, eight and a half minutes after launching. The second run beat every score on the board.
The product is admin software for small businesses, and it sells one plan. Their pricing page lists 18 pounds a month, or the yearly option with two months free. The trial runs 30 days with no card, capped at 5,000 emails so it cannot be used as a free sending service. The paid plan covers unlimited contacts, unlimited email templates, scheduling, and 10,000 emails a month, with overage at 1 pound per additional 1,000.
You get customer records with notes and billing details, an appointment calendar, scheduled follow up email campaigns, and a dashboard showing what is overdue. The headline on the site reads "Keep your admin under control." The listing is filed under CRM and sales at saasrocket.space/tool/managedhorizons and on directree.io.
It suits a one person operation currently keeping clients in a spreadsheet and follow ups in their head. It does not do pipelines, deal stages, or an integrations catalogue.
Star Hopper: TicketsData, 38,114 over 16 hops
Star Hopper gives you three shots per level to slingshot a rocket around planets and land it on the star. Every shot you do not use is worth 400 points, and a delivery itself is worth 1,000. Solving a level on the first attempt pays almost as much again as the delivery.
TicketsData cleared 16 levels having fired 21 shots in the whole run. Allowing for the three spent failing the level that ended it, that is 16 deliveries from at most 18 shots. Almost every level went down on the first try.
TicketsData launched on 15 August, put the launch badge on their own site, and our checker confirmed it at 16:56 UTC on 17 August. The winning run started four minutes later.
The product is a REST API for live ticketing data. One call returns tickets, seats, and pricing as normalised JSON, instead of building and maintaining a separate integration per marketplace. Their documentation lists three endpoints: /fetch for live inventory on a single event, /events to discover upcoming events for a performer or venue, and /match for a cross marketplace comparison report, which costs 12 credits per call against 1 for the others. Nine marketplaces are live, including Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek, VividSeats, GameTime, TickPick, Viagogo, Dice.fm, and Eventbrite, with AXS listed as coming soon.
Pricing starts at $499/mo for 10,000 credits and nine marketplaces, then $2,499/mo for 250,000 credits, all ten marketplaces, and access to /match. Business and enterprise tiers are quoted on request. The listing lives at saasrocket.space/tool/ticketsdata and on directree.io.
TicketsData discloses on its own site that it aggregates publicly available listing data, that its market intelligence is information rather than advice, and that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the marketplaces it reads.
The rest of the August board
Deep Space Run, best run per listing:
| # | Product | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ManagedHorizons | 1,278 km |
| 2 | Lapsewise | 886 km |
| 3 | capsule.nodemedia.in | 359 km |
| 4 | First Pass | 346 km |
| 5 | Bersyn | 58 km |
| 6 | SalesSpectra | 26 km |
Star Hopper: TicketsData 38,114, then ManagedHorizons on 7,188 and SalesSpectra on 4,121.
Lapsewise is our own product, launched on our own platform, and it placed second in Deep Space Run. It cannot take a crown on this blog.
How the scoring actually works
Neither game has a random element you can wait out, and both are seeded per run, so a score is a replayable claim rather than a number you type in.
Deep Space Run scores pure distance. The number you see in kilometres is the raw distance divided by 100 and rounded down, which is why 127,871 units reads as 1,278 km. There is no weapon. Survival is the only mechanic.
Star Hopper adds points per delivery. A successful hop is worth 1,000, each unused shot in the level is 400, grazing a planet closely is 150, grazing a named planet is 250, grazing the hazard planet is 500, and a swiftness bonus of up to 500 decays the longer the flight takes. Two unused shots and a fast flight can therefore double what the delivery itself pays.
What the champions get
Deep Space Run gives one crown per listing, ever. ManagedHorizons has taken theirs, which means the September board is open to everyone else, and they cannot win it again no matter how far they fly.
Star Hopper works the other way. Repeat champions are allowed, and winning unlocks the right to colour your star on the galaxy map, permanently. Every other star at saasrocket.space/galaxy stays gold. TicketsData unlocked it in August and picks the colour whenever they like.
Both champions also get this page, on a domain that is not theirs, with followed links to their site. We do not have upvotes and we are not adding them.
How to get on the September board
Launch first. Both games only accept launched, claimed listings.
- Paste your product URL at saasrocket.space. Launching is free during early access. The crawler pulls your logo and copy, the cinematic runs, and your product becomes a permanent star on the galaxy map.
- Claim the listing with the emailed code. Unclaimed ships fade out, and an unclaimed listing cannot hold a score.
- Sign in and open /game or /hopper. Pick the ship you want the score attached to, because scores belong to listings and not to accounts.
The monthly boards reset at the start of each UTC month, so September is empty right now. Set any score and you are on it.
Frequently asked questions
Who won the saasrocket.space games in August 2026?
ManagedHorizons won Deep Space Run with 1,278 km, or 127,871 distance units. TicketsData won Star Hopper with 38,114 points across 16 hops.
Do I have to launch a product to play?
Yes. Both games are for launched, claimed listings only, because the score is recorded against the product rather than the player. Launching is free during early access.
Can the same product win twice?
In Deep Space Run, no. Each listing may hold one monthly crown ever. In Star Hopper, yes, repeat champions are allowed, and the right to colour their star is permanent once earned.
What does the winner actually receive?
An article on this blog covering the product, with followed links to the product site and its listing, plus the star colour in Star Hopper's case. There is no cash prize and no paid placement involved.
Does paying affect the leaderboard?
No. Paid placement on saasrocket.space affects the galaxy map only, never a game score and never a ranking on directree.io. The boards are score order, nothing else.
