Does it make sense to have a monthly subscription for a premium listing in a software marketplace? : Entrepreneur

I released a new software marketplace recently (SaaSHub), and I'm considering the various options of future monetization. It is focused on alternatives in the SaaS space. One of the options that I'm considering is a monthly subscription that would provide a highlighted/premium listing. The reason being - the lifetime value of a single SaaS customer is pretty high on average. Hence, even the conversion of a single new client would be worth a $50/m subscription in a third-party marketplace.

The second option I'm considering is accepting sponsorships and displaying sponsors' logos at the bottom of most pages. I just don't want to clutter the site with "regular" ads. For example, one of my biggest competitors is "AlternativeTo.net" and their UI is a bit cluttered and "noisy".
