Directory submission services and tools compared (2026)
LaunchRepo and 8 other ways to get a product listed on directories — dated facts from each vendor’s public site, one line on who it is for, and a link to the full comparison.
If you are choosing between a done-for-you submission service, a subscription tool and a pay-once toolkit, the useful question is not “which is best” but “which model fits how often you launch”. This page puts every product we have checked into one table, explains the three pricing models behind them, and links to a full side-by-side and an alternative page for each. Every fact carries the date it was checked; nothing is estimated.

Developers who ship more than one product and want a launch process they keep.
A founder who wants to speed up a handful of well-known directories for $29 and prefers a browser extension to an AI agent.

The three models, and who each one suits
Pay-once toolkit
You buy software once and do the launches yourself — with an AI agent (LaunchRepo) or a browser extension (AutoSaaSLaunch). Unlimited products, your own accounts, and the process stays with you. The trade: your time and attention are in the loop, and nobody promises a result. Suits people who launch repeatedly.
Per-product service
You pay per product or per website and a team (or their automation) submits it to a fixed batch of directories, usually within days, and sends a report. The trade: the second product is a second purchase, accounts are often created for you, and what you keep is the report. Suits a single launch you want handed off.
Subscription
You pay monthly or yearly for a platform whose main job is often something else — content SEO, in Outrank’s case — with directory submission as an add-on. The trade: recurring cost for as long as you need the platform. Suits teams that want the platform anyway.
Comparison pages
Two pages per product: the full side-by-side (twelve criteria, the cases where the other product wins) and the alternative page (why people switch, what changes, when to stay).
