LaunchRepoChecked on September 17, 2026 — prices and features from Submit Juice’s public website; verify before buying.
Submit Juice sells a finished campaign with a number attached: their team submits your site by hand to a curated 20 or 50 directories and websites, and on the Premium tiers they promise a domain-authority target or your money back. LaunchRepo sells the capability instead: one payment, and your own AI agent works through 346 directory playbooks with your accounts, for every product you own. The honest difference is not quality of directories — it is who does the clicking, how often you pay, and whether anybody promises you a metric. They do; we do not.
Side by side
Published pricing: from $197 one-time per site (free DIY list). Four tiers are published: a free DIY tier with a list of 152+ directories and an Airtable, Classic $197 for 20 curated directories and websites, Premium $297 for 50 with a “DA 20+ Guarantee or You Pay Nothing”, and Premium Plus $983, where they “Submit Your Site to as Many Sites as Needed to Reach DA 40+” — software sites only. Every paid tier is shown against a higher crossed-out price. Delivery is published as 5–7 days.
| Criterion | LaunchRepo | Submit Juice |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | One payment. No subscription, no renewal, no fee per launch. | One-time payment per site: Classic $197, Premium $297, Premium Plus $983; a free DIY tier exists. No subscription published. |
| What the price covers | One licence at the €99.98 launch price, VAT included. The price rises 20 % after every 20 sales; you pay what the checkout shows when you buy. | The tier decides the batch: 20 or 50 curated “Directories And Websites”, or “as Many Sites as Needed to Reach DA 40+” on Premium Plus. Add-ons: +$197 for 100+ total, Press Bundle +$293, Graphics Bundle +$298. |
| Number of products covered | Unlimited products you own and operate. The second product costs nothing extra. | Plans are worded per site (“We list your site for you”). Nothing is published about covering several products in one purchase. |
| Who does the work | Your own AI coding or browser agent, started by you. LaunchRepo is a toolkit, not a service. | Their team, by hand: “All submissions are done manually by our human team” and “We DO NOT use bots”. |
| Accounts used | Your own accounts, in your own logged-in browser. Nobody signs in as you. | Not published on the page we checked. |
| What you own afterwards | The repository with 346 playbooks, your product.json and your tracker — cloned to your machine and yours to keep. | The listings, a listing report with links to live listings and a personal Airtable “where you can track submissions and even start adding your own”. The free tier gives you the 152+ list to work through yourself. |
| Directory count and source | 346 directory playbooks in the repo, each with preparation, form fields, blockers and what counts as a confirmation. | “152+ Directories” in the free list; paid tiers submit to a curated 20 or 50, with an add-on for 100+ “Directories & Blogs”. Named outlets include Product Hunt, MSN and AP News (press bundle). |
| Tracking of outcomes | Your submissions.csv and the local dashboard record draft, submitted, pending, scheduled, needs-you and live separately. | Custom Airtable with submission tracking, a listing report and “a screen recording if applicable”. |
| Guarantees | None. Every directory decides for itself what it publishes, so we promise no listing, backlink or ranking. | “DA 20+ Guarantee or You Pay Nothing” (Premium) and “DA 40+ Guarantee” (Premium Plus, software sites only, “Subject to our terms”). Listings themselves are not guaranteed: “we cannot guarantee listings, we can only guarantee our submissions”, and the service “is considered delivered once proof of submission is provided”. |
| Own AI agent required | Yes. Bring Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or a browser agent; your provider bills its usage. | No. Humans do the submissions; nothing runs on your machine. |
| Languages | Playbooks, templates and dashboard in English; this website in 12 languages. | Not published on the page we checked. |
| Best for | Developers who ship more than one product and want a launch process they keep. | A software site that wants one launch handled by people, with a domain-authority target written into the deal. |
When Submit Juice is the better choice
- You want a DA target in writing. Premium publishes “DA 20+ Guarantee or You Pay Nothing”, Premium Plus a DA 40+ guarantee for software sites. LaunchRepo promises no metric at all.
- You do not want to run an agent. Their human team does every submission; LaunchRepo only works if you start Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or a browser agent.
- You want press mentions bundled in. Their Press Bundle (+$293) and Premium Plus include coverage from named news sites; our playbooks cover directories and launch platforms, not press.
- You want to try it for free first. Their DIY tier hands you a list of 152+ directories and an Airtable at $0 — a real option if you have the hours.
- You want it finished in about a week by someone else. Delivery is published as 5–7 days.
When LaunchRepo is the better choice
- You launch more than once. One payment of €99.98 covers every product you own; their plans are worded per site.
- You want 346 playbooks with form fields, blockers and confirmation rules, not a curated 20 or 50 — and the reasoning about which of them fit an AI tool, a dev tool or a B2B SaaS.
- You want your own accounts used and kept. Which accounts a done-for-you run uses is not published on the page we checked; with LaunchRepo the question does not arise.
- You want states, not proof of submission: our tracker records submitted, pending review, scheduled and live separately, because — as Submit Juice also says — a submission is not a listing.
- You want to keep the process. Their Airtable is yours afterwards; our repository, product brief and tracker are yours before you start.
Verdict
If you have one software product, want people to handle its launch and like the idea of a DA guarantee behind it, Submit Juice is a coherent purchase — and their free DIY list is a fair way to see how much manual work you are avoiding. If you build products regularly, €99.98 paid once for 346 playbooks and a tracker you keep is the better economics from the second launch on, with the honest caveat that nobody, including us, can promise what a directory will publish. Their own FAQ says the same about listings; the difference is that they attach a DA promise to the work and we attach none.

Questions about LaunchRepo vs Submit Juice
What is the real difference between LaunchRepo and Submit Juice?
Who does the work, how often you pay, and whether a metric is promised. Submit Juice is a manual service bought per site with DA guarantees on the Premium tiers; LaunchRepo is a repository bought once, run by your own AI agent for unlimited products, with no guarantee of any kind.
Which one is cheaper?
For one site their Classic tier at $197 for 20 directories is cheaper than €99.98; Premium at $297 for 50 is close to it. From the second product onwards LaunchRepo costs nothing more. Prices checked 17 September 2026 — verify both before buying.
Does Submit Juice guarantee listings?
No, and they say so: “we cannot guarantee listings, we can only guarantee our submissions”. What they do guarantee on Premium and Premium Plus is a domain-authority target, subject to their terms. LaunchRepo guarantees neither listings nor metrics.
Is the free Submit Juice list a substitute for LaunchRepo?
It is a list of 152+ directories plus an Airtable to track by hand. LaunchRepo ships 346 playbooks that tell an agent what each form asks, what blocks a submission and what counts as live, plus a product template and a local dashboard. One is a list; the other is a process.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some buyers have one launch done for them while they are busy shipping and buy the toolkit before the next product. The order matters less than making sure the process and the tracker end up with you.
