The BoringLaunch Alternative Where You Pick the Directories — From $29
Submitator is a BoringLaunch alternative for founders who want to choose their own directories and skip the done-for-you premium. BoringLaunch is a concierge service (you fill out a form, their team submits you to 50–100+ platforms over about a week) and it runs $149–499. Submitator is real browser automation: you pick the directories, it submits to 100+ in 24–48 hours, and it's $29–79 one-time.
Same result (dofollow backlinks from real directories and a higher Domain Rating), a fraction of the price, and you stay in control of where you get listed. Here's the honest comparison.

Self-serve automation, not a done-for-you concierge
BoringLaunch is a done-for-you service: you hand over your details and a person submits your startup to their platform list. That convenience is the whole product, and it's priced like it ($149–499 across its tiers). Submitator gets you the same outcome through real software instead of a person, which is exactly why it can be $79 for 100 directories instead of several hundred.
You pick the directories
Because BoringLaunch does it for you, it also decides for you: you get whatever platforms are on their list. Submitator hands you the wheel. From your dashboard you browse the full catalog of 100+ directories, filter by category or Domain Rating, exclude any you're already listed on, and submit only where it actually helps.
Real automation, with proof
“Done-for-you” usually means a person doing manual submissions. Submitator built real browser automation that handles CAPTCHAs, email verification, and complex forms, then returns a screenshot and live link for every submission so you can verify the work. (If you want the longer story on why this industry charges what it does, we wrote it here.)
Badges handled automatically
Some directories require an embedded badge to grant the backlink. Submitator handles it with one script: pick a design once and we manage every directory-required badge, including an invisible-badge option that earns the link without cluttering your site.
One-time, and a fraction of the price
Submitator is $29 for 30 directories, $49 for 60, and $79 for 100, one-time. The Growth and Scale plans include free indexing by IndexMachine (a $25 value). Against BoringLaunch's $149–499 for the same job, you're paying a fraction, and we'll beat a comparable real-automation quote if you find one.
Pick your directories. Pay $79 for 100.
One-time. 30-day refund. No done-for-you premium.
When BoringLaunch might still fit
To be fair: if you genuinely want a fully hands-off concierge, you'd rather not touch a dashboard at all, and the premium price isn't a concern, BoringLaunch's done-for-you model is a legitimate choice. It's a polished service. Submitator is the better fit when you want to choose your directories, see proof of every submission, and keep most of that money.
Real backlinks. Real DR. Real proof.

Do you offer a refund?
Yes, a 30-day refund policy. We aim to submit your whole package in 2–3 days; our committed ETA is 30 days. If we don't deliver all your directories within 30 days you get a proportional refund, and every rejection is credited back as +1 directory so you can pick another.
