Questions

Which directories should I submit to first?: Start with the launch platforms (Product Hunt, BetaList, Peerlist and the smaller weekly boards) since they send real visitors, then the software review sites, which keep bringing search traffic for years. If you're building an AI product, add the AI directories.
Do directory backlinks help SEO?: Some do. A handful of links from relevant, well-known directories help a new domain get crawled and build some authority. Hundreds of links from low-quality directories don't. That's why this list is hand-picked rather than scraped.
Is the pricing information up to date?: Every link was checked on October 2, 2026, and Domain Ratings were pulled from Ahrefs on October 2, 2026. Directories change their pricing often, so check the submission page before you start.
What does the submission service include?: We pick 50 directories that fit your product, submit to each one by hand using your copy and images, and send you a spreadsheet of every submission and its status within 7 days. We stick to free listings, so no directory charges you anything extra.
Is my directory missing?: DM us on X with the link. We add directories that are live, accept submissions and are useful to indie makers.

Launching soon? Submit to SohamLaunches first. It's free, and every launch gets a permanent page and a backlink.

Skip the forms. We'll submit you to 50 directories.
