About the directory numbers. The count is a ceiling, not a promise that every directory is specific to what you build. Some categories have more directories than others, so a larger plan gets filled out with general startup directories once the on-topic ones run out. Those still carry weight, but they are not the same thing. When you pick a plan we show the exact split for your product before you pay, so you can choose a smaller plan if the bigger one would mostly be padding.
Top-ups
Two things are not in the plans
Both of these are consumption rather than capability. Pricing them into a tier would either overcharge most people or cap the ones who want more, so they are bought separately and only when you want them.
Launchpad sponsorship
A placement in the Launchpad right rail, sold by the day. It sits alongside the board rather than on it, so it is separate from a featured launch and you can run one whenever you like.
$9 for 6 hours, up to $99 for a fortnight
See sponsor slotsAI credits
The AI tools are metered rather than priced into a tier, because a model call costs a fraction of a cent and most people never come close to the allowance. Every account gets 60 credits a month, which is roughly a dozen full reports.
During beta nothing is refused if you go over, and top-ups are not on sale yet.
Questions
Before you pay
- Is there a subscription?
- No. Directory submission plans and launch credits are one-time payments, and the tools that come with an account are free. There is nothing that bills monthly.
- Do you guarantee the backlinks?
- No, and be careful with anyone who does. Directories decide for themselves what to publish. What we guarantee is that we submit by hand to directories we have checked are alive, and that we tell you exactly which listings went live and which did not.
- How long does a submission plan take?
- The submitting is done within a few days. Getting published is not up to us: most directories review manually and take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, and some never respond. Your report updates as listings appear.
- What happens if a directory rejects my product?
- It shows as rejected in your report, with the reason when they give one. We do not silently swap in a different directory to make the count look right.
- What is a launch credit?
- A free launch puts you on the weekly board. A credit makes that launch featured, which pins it to the top for the week and skips the free weekly cap. Credits are one time and never expire.
- Do I need to pay to get the backlink?
- No. Every published listing gets a permanent page and a real dofollow link on the free plan. Paying is for having us do the directory legwork, not for the link.
- What are AI credits?
- They meter the AI tools, like the report and the FAQ drafting. Every account gets a monthly allowance that is enough for roughly a dozen full reports. They are not a currency you have to buy.
Start on the free plan
It costs nothing and needs no card. You get the launch, the permanent page and the backlink, and enough of the tools to judge whether the rest is worth paying for.
