LaunchRepoMost “best directories” lists are a spreadsheet of domain ratings someone exported once. These pages are built at every deploy from the LaunchRepo catalog, so the counts are real and the entries match the playbooks in the repository. Pick the list closest to your product; each page explains how to use it, what a free route and a live listing actually mean, and how to collect the evidence before you submit anywhere.

Beyond the catalog: tools for your agent
How these lists are made
- Each list is an editorial shortlist of at most ten platforms, chosen from those with a public page on this site. The number in each heading counts every platform of that type in the catalog; the developer-tools count uses a reviewed name filter visible in the source code.
- The order follows published rules: fit for the product type, then a dated field guide, then the evidence level, then the fewest conditions on the free route. No position is paid for.
- The one-line descriptions say what a platform lists and what a submission needs. Fee eligibility comes from the dated catalog snapshot: verified free, conditional free with explicit prerequisites, or research-only. Unknown is never promoted as free.
- Aliases — one platform under two names — are removed so that nothing is counted twice.
The lists are public; the playbooks are the product
LaunchRepo is the private repository behind these lists: a playbook per platform, a product template, a tracker and a local dashboard, run by your own agent. Pay €119.00 once for every product you own.
