100+ Best Startup Directories to Launch Your Product

LaunchDirectories.com is a curated database of 100+ startup directories, launch platforms, and high-authority sites that helps founders find the best places to submit their products for visibility and backlinks.

What is LaunchDirectories.com?

LaunchDirectories.com is a searchable database aggregating over 100 startup directories, launch platforms, and high-authority sites. It takes a product's details (name, URL, tagline, logo) and outputs a prioritized list of directories with metrics like Domain Rating (DR), monthly traffic estimates, link type (dofollow/nofollow), and pricing model (free/freemium/paid). The platform is built by Krzysztof Cichy, who manually researched and curated all listings. Users can browse by category, filter by DR, and view listings in card or table layout.

Key Features

• Curated directory database — 100+ listings with up-to-date Domain Rating, traffic estimates, and dofollow/nofollow labels for each directory.
• Advanced filters and sorting — Filter by category and sort by Domain Rating, traffic, or name; switch between card and table views.
• Manual submission service — The "Auto Submit" service: provide product details once and the team manually submits to 100+ directories, building high-quality backlinks and saving hours of work.
• Detailed directory profiles — Each listing includes description, DR score, link type, pricing (free/freemium/paid), and a direct "Visit Site" button.
• Monthly data refresh — Directory data including DR, traffic, and active status is checked and updated monthly to avoid dead links or outdated scores.
• Sponsored listing — Dirstarter, a Next.js starter kit for building directory websites, is featured as a sponsored entry.

Who is it for?

• SaaS founders and indie hackers — Find high-DR directories for backlinks and early user acquisition after product launch.
• Marketing and SEO professionals — Research which directories offer dofollow links and prioritize submissions based on Domain Rating and traffic data.
• Side-project builders — Quickly discover niche directories relevant to their product category without spending hours researching individually.

How does LaunchDirectories work?

Pricing

LaunchDirectories.com is freemium. Browsing the directory database is free. The "Auto Submit" service (manual submission to 100+ directories) is a paid offering; pricing details are available on the pricing page. Some listed directories themselves may be free or paid.

FAQ

What is Domain Rating and why does it matter?

Domain Rating (DR) is a 0-100 metric indicating a website's backlink profile strength. Higher DR directories pass more SEO value through dofollow links, boosting your site's search rankings. LaunchDirectories displays DR for every listing.

Are the directories free to submit to?

Most directories listed are free, but some require payment for submission or expedited review. The pricing field for each listing shows "Free", "Freemium", or "Paid" to help you plan.
