A place in the catalog
Founders pick from our catalog of 160+ directories, yours included once it joins. Founders on our All Directories plan get every directory we add, so they get yours too.

Add your directory
to our catalog
Run a directory? Send us its address. We review it, and once it is in our catalog, founders who use Submitator can pick it. We submit their startups the way your directory asks. Your rules. No fee.
Founders pick it
In their dashboard, next to the rest of our catalog.
Your rules
Your badge, your review queue, your limits and quiet hours.
No fee
Being in the catalog costs you nothing.
Two required fields, three steps
How it works
- 1
Send the address
Your email and your directory's URL. A promo code and a note are optional.
- 2
We review it
A directory joins our catalog once our submissions run on it end to end.
- 3
Founders pick it
Founders who use Submitator choose their directories in the dashboard after they buy. When one picks yours, we submit their startup the way your directory asks.
What you get
What your directory gets
A gift on your row
Give our users a promo code for your featured or premium listing. It shows as a gift on your directory's row while founders pick, with your offer spelled out, so a founder who wants more than the free listing knows where to get it.
White label on your site
Your directory already talks to founders who need submissions. Sell them ours under your brand: 100 directories per client from $40, a badge with your name on it and a report that never names us.
Your directory, your rules
We submit the way
your directory asks
Your badge
Required or optional, we place your badge on the founder's site and keep it live.
Your review queue
Approving or declining a listing stays your call. If you review by hand, founders see that on your row before they pick it, with how long you usually take to publish.
Your limits
Take one submission a day, a week or a month? We hold to that limit and queue the rest.
Your quiet hours
No submissions at weekends or overnight? Name the hours and days, and our queue waits them out.
All of it is set per directory on our side. Nothing to install on yours.
The proof is public
Read the catalog first
Our whole catalog is one public table: each directory's Domain Rating, the link type it gives and whether it asks for a badge. See who is already in it before you send yours.

A partner on our site
LiftOff is a directory we submit founders to and a partner of ours. Every Submitator plan covers its Featured tier, and our guide to LiftOff says so up front.

Adding a directory, answered
Is it free to add my directory?
Yes. There is no fee to be in the catalog. Founders pay for their Submitator plan, and you pay nothing for the submissions we send your way.
Does my directory need to show a badge?
No. You put nothing of ours on your site. It works the other way round: if your directory asks the makers it lists for a badge, required or optional, we place your badge on the founder's site and keep it live.
How often will you submit to my directory?
As often as founders pick it. They choose their own directories in the dashboard after they buy, so the number depends on them. If your directory takes one submission a day, a week or a month, we hold to that limit and queue the rest, and if it takes none at certain hours or on certain days, our queue waits until it does.
Can I ask you to stop?
Yes. Email vlad@submitator.com and we stop offering your directory to founders, so nobody can pick it. If you only need a break, we can pause it instead: submissions wait in our queue until you are ready.
What if my directory is paid?
Send it anyway. Some directories in our catalog charge extra for the better listing, and the founder's plan covers that fee. If yours has no free listing at all, we ask whether you sell listings in bulk: by the month, by the year or for life. A payment link and a promo code good for that many listings is enough, so you build nothing just for us.
Do you add every directory sent to you?
No. We review each one, and a directory joins the catalog once our submissions run on it end to end.
