1,218Places to Launch & List Your Product

A searchable database of 1218 websites where you can submit your startup, SaaS product, AI tool, or side project. Each entry includes Domain Rating (DR), cost, backlink type, authority level, and a specific submission angle explaining how to approach that site.

Every entry was manually researched with Ahrefs DR data, backlink analysis, and a custom submission angle. We check whether the link is dofollow or nofollow, free or paid, and what kind of content the site expects.

Domain Rating is an Ahrefs metric (0–100) measuring the strength of a website's backlink profile. Higher DR means a link from that site carries more SEO value. Sites with DR 60+ are generally considered high authority.

It varies by site. The "Backlink" column shows whether each directory gives dofollow, nofollow, or mixed links. Dofollow links pass SEO authority; nofollow links still drive referral traffic and brand visibility.

Different types of sites serve different purposes: startup directories for launch visibility, AI tool directories for niche audiences, press/publications for media coverage, B2B databases for buyer intent, design galleries for portfolio exposure, app marketplaces for distribution, developer channels for technical audiences, regional directories for local SEO, social channels for community building, communities for engagement, and mobile directories for app store presence.

No. Start with free, high-DR sites in your category. A targeted submission to 20–30 relevant directories beats spamming 500 irrelevant ones. Focus on sites where your target audience actually hangs out.

Most free submissions take 5–15 minutes each. If you submit to 50 directories, expect 4–12 hours of work spread over a few days. Many founders batch 5–10 submissions per day over 2 weeks.

894 of the 1218 sites (73%) are completely free to submit. The remaining 324 are paid listings or sponsored placements.

Each entry includes a "submission angle" — a specific tip on how to approach that site for the best results. Click any row in the table to see the angle. These tips cover what content format works, what the site's audience expects, and how to stand out.

Yes, but quality matters more than quantity. Focus on high-DR sites that are relevant to your niche. A single dofollow link from a DR 80+ directory is worth more than 50 links from DR 10 sites. Always write unique descriptions — never copy-paste the same text.

We update the list monthly with new directories, remove dead links, and refresh DR scores. Bookmark this page and check back regularly.
