The BacklinkX Alternative: $10 List, or We Submit
Submitator is a BacklinkX alternative that beats it two ways. BacklinkX sells you a $15 list of directories and then leaves the actual work to you. Submitator sells its own curated directory list for $10 (with a $10-off promo code, so it's basically a not-quite-free trial), or, for $29, it does the submitting for you: 30 directories you pick, with a live link proving each.
The point is simple. A list is data, not results. Whether you want the cheaper list or you'd rather skip the busywork entirely, there's a better deal here than paying $15 for a spreadsheet you then have to act on. Here's the honest comparison.
BacklinkX vs Submitator
| Feature | Submitator | BacklinkX |
|---|---|---|
| Directory list price | $10 | $15 |

| Done-for-you submission | $29 for 30 dirs | Not offered |
| Who does the submitting | Submitator (paid plans) | You, by hand |
| Live proof per listing | ||

BacklinkX sells a $15 one-time self-serve list of '150+' directories (shown as 50% off a struck $30); you submit to them yourself. It has no public preview of the list, no refund ('the list is yours forever, so it can't be refunded'), and an anonymous operator (a Gmail contact). Submitator's own curated directory list is $10 and includes a $10-off promo code; its $29 Starter submits you to 30 directories you pick, with a live link for each and a 30-day refund. Per each site when last checked (July 2026).
A list is just data. You still do the work.
Here's what a $15 directory list actually buys you: a spreadsheet, and a weekend. Someone still has to open every directory on the list, create an account on each, fill in the same details over and over, solve the CAPTCHAs, confirm the verification emails, and keep track of which ones went through. That someone is you. The list doesn't submit anything, doesn't prove anything got listed, and doesn't come back if a directory rejects you. It's the easy 5% of the job sold as the whole thing.
Our list is $10, and you get $10 back
If a list is genuinely all you want, ours is cheaper and lower-risk. Submitator's curated directory list is $10, five dollars less than BacklinkX, and it comes with a $10-off promo code for the service. So if you buy the list and later decide to let us do the submitting, the list was effectively free. It's the closest thing to a free trial of a paid product: take the data, and get your money back the moment you use us.

Or skip the list entirely: $29, we submit for you
The better deal for most people isn't buying a list at all. For $29, Submitator submits you to 30 directories you choose, with real browser automation that handles the accounts, CAPTCHAs, and email verification, and hands you a live link for every listing so you can confirm each one. You also get the full directory catalog right in your dashboard, yours to browse and keep, so you have the list too. Same $29 does the data and the labor.
No preview, no refund, no name
A few things worth knowing before you send BacklinkX $15. You can't see the list before you buy, there's no public sample of what's in it or how it's delivered. It's non-refundable by policy: "the list is yours forever, so it can't be refunded." And there's no company or person behind it that you can find, the only contact is a Gmail address. For a $15 spreadsheet that's a lot of trust to extend sight unseen. Submitator's catalog is visible in the product, the $10 list refunds itself through the promo code, and paid plans carry a real 30-day money-back guarantee.
Skip the spreadsheet. We'll submit.
30 directories you pick, a live link for each, 24–48h, and the full list in your dashboard. From $29.
When BacklinkX's list makes sense
To be fair: if you specifically want a big raw list of directories to work through by hand, you enjoy doing the submissions yourself, and $15 one-time fits the budget, BacklinkX gives you that. Submitator is the better fit when you want the list cheaper and with your money back, or when you'd rather pay $29 and never touch a submission form, and still get a live link proving every listing.
Real backlinks. Real DR. Real proof.
FAQ
Is Submitator a good BacklinkX alternative?
Yes, in two ways. If you just want the directory list, Submitator's is $10 and comes with a $10-off promo code, so it's cheaper than BacklinkX's $15 and basically free if you go on to use us. If you'd rather not do the work at all, $29 has us submit you to 30 directories you pick, with a live link proving each.
How much does BacklinkX cost?
BacklinkX is $15 one-time for a list of '150+' backlink directories (shown as 50% off a struck $30). It also sells a separate $5 'Get Listed' backlink from its own site. Submitator's directory list is $10 with a $10-off code, or $29 to have us submit you to 30 directories, $49 for 60, and $79 for 100.
Does BacklinkX submit you to directories?
No. BacklinkX is a self-serve list, you do all the submitting yourself, one directory at a time. The only thing it does for you is one courtesy backlink from its own site. Submitator's paid plans do the submitting for you with real browser automation that handles CAPTCHAs and email verification.
What's the difference between buying a list and using Submitator?
A list is raw data. You still spend hours manually submitting to each directory, creating accounts, solving CAPTCHAs, and verifying emails, with nothing to prove it worked. Submitator does that for you and gives you a live link for every listing. If you'd rather DIY, we'll sell you our own curated list for $10, with $10 back toward the service.
Can you see BacklinkX's list before buying?
No. There's no public preview of the list or its contents, and it's non-refundable, its refund page says 'the list is yours forever, so it can't be refunded.' Submitator shows the directory catalog in the product, the $10 list includes a $10-off code, and paid plans carry a 30-day refund.
Does BacklinkX offer a refund?
No. BacklinkX states the list can't be refunded once you have access. Submitator's $10 list comes with a $10 credit toward the service, and its paid submission plans have a 30-day money-back refund, with every rejected directory credited back as +1 so you can pick another.
