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 pay, fill out a form and they submit you to 50 to 100+ platforms over about a week) and it runs $149 to $549, with its two cheaper tiers "Fully booked till 1st Nov". Submitator is real browser automation: you pick the directories, most of them go out within 24 to 48 hours and it's $29 to $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.

BoringLaunch, per its pages when last checked (18 October 2026): Basic $149, struck through from $299, to 'Submit to 50+ Platforms In 7 Days'; Not Boring $249, struck through from $499, for 100+ platforms in 7 days, 'Suitable For AI Startup', with 'Guaranteed SEO Improvement In 30 Days of Submission'; Priority $549, struck through from $999, to 'Start Submission Process In 24 Hours' and 'Submit to 50-60 High Quality Platforms In 7 Days', with a '100% Money Back Guarantee (If your Domain Rating doesn't reach 20+ in 30 Days of Submission)'. Basic and Not Boring show 'Fully booked till 1st Nov'. No billing period is printed. It picks the platforms ('we will manage the submission process across all relevant platforms'), submits only 'where free submission is allowed' and sends a detailed report. Its refund policy (last updated 25/03/2025) offers full or partial refunds, requested within 7 days of the payment date, when the service is not delivered as promised due to an error on its end. No claim is made that the directories in our catalog are the same as theirs. Submitator is $29/30, $49/60, $79/100 one-time, directories you choose and a 30-day refund window; most directories are delivered in 24-48h and every directory within 21 days at most.
Self-serve automation, not a done-for-you concierge
BoringLaunch is a done-for-you service: you hand over your details and they submit your startup to their platform list. That convenience is the whole product, and it's priced like it ($149 to $549 across its tiers, $249 for the 100+ one). Submitator does the submitting with real software, which is exactly why it can be $79 for 100 directories instead of $249.
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, and keep each one live, because some directories drop your link the moment the badge goes.
One-time, and a fraction of the price
Submitator is $29 for 30 directories, $49 for 60 and $79 for 100, one-time. Every plan includes free indexing by IndexMachine (a $25 value). Against BoringLaunch's $149 to $549, you're paying a fraction: their 100+ tier is $249 against our $79 for 100, and the tier that starts within 24 hours, Priority, is $549 for 50 to 60 platforms, where our $49 buys 60 you pick. And we'll beat a comparable real-automation quote if you find one.
Pick your directories. Pay $79 for 100.
Not $249 for 100+ they pick. One-time, a 30-day refund window, 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.
FAQ
Is Submitator a good BoringLaunch alternative?

Submitator is real browser automation: you choose your directories, most of them go out within 24 to 48 hours for dofollow backlinks and 100 cost $79 one-time against $249 for BoringLaunch's 100+ tier (its range runs $149 to $549).

Individual directories still have their own approval queues either way.
Is Submitator done-for-you, or do I do it myself?
Neither, exactly. You choose your directories and pay; our real browser automation does the actual submitting (it handles CAPTCHAs, email verification, and badges). So it's self-serve setup with automated execution, not humans filling out forms on your behalf and not you doing it by hand.
Do you offer a refund?
Yes, you can request a refund within 30 days of purchase; BoringLaunch's refund policy takes requests within 7 days of payment. We submit to most directories within 24 to 48 hours, and every directory within 21 days at most (longer if you set a daily limit in your project settings). If we don't deliver all your directories within that time you get a proportional refund, and every rejection is credited back as +1 directory so you can pick another.
