Same $149. Fifty-Plus Directories There. All 160 Here.
Written by Submitator, a direct competitor that charges less per directory on every plan it sells, so read it adversarially. Every figure about Quicklisting is quoted from quicklisting.tech, its app, its checkout or its Product Hunt page, and every figure of ours from our published pricing, terms and savings table. The footnote lists what was read.
Quicklisting sells one plan: $149 once, to submit one product to what its pricing card calls "50+ Directories". Submitator's All Directories plan is the same $149 once, and it submits one project to every directory in our catalog, all 160, plus every one we add.
If you do not need them all, 60 directories cost $49 here and 100 cost $79. Put plainly:
At their price you get more than three times the number on their card. At their count you pay a third of their price.
| What you buy | Quicklisting | Submitator |
|---|---|---|
| $149 buys | 50+ directories | All 160, plus every one we add |
| 60 directories | $149 | $49 |
| 100 directories | Never promised | $79 |
| Per directory | $2.98 at 50 | $0.79 to $0.97 |
At sixty directories their plan costs $100 more than ours. Read the card for what the difference pays for: besides the submissions it lists an "X/Twitter Shout-Out", a "Newsletter Shout-Out" and "Save 20+ Hours of Submission Time", which every submission service saves you. So the $100 buys a tweet and a newsletter mention.

Per quicklisting.tech, its home page, /directories, /blog, /contact and sitemap.xml, app.quicklisting.tech and its Stripe checkout page, all read on 25 September 2026, and per submitator.com/#pricing, /terms and the savings table on our home page. Their pricing card: Access at $0 includes only "Access the Database", with the other four lines marked excluded; Quicklisting at $149 includes "Submit 1 Product to 50+ Directories", "X/Twitter Shout-Out", "Newsletter Shout-Out" and "Save 20+ Hours of Submission Time". The Stripe checkout is a one-time payment of USD 149.00 for "Quicklisting Directory Submissions", described as "60+ directory submissions, X/Twitter shout-out, and newsletter shout-out". Directory counts: "50+" on both pricing cards and in the footer, "60+" in the hero, the FAQ and the Stripe line item, 89 on the public /directories page and 108 in the database in the app, which sits behind a free sign-up; 32 and 34 of those are tagged "Paid". No row on either list shows a Domain Rating, a link attribute, a price or a badge requirement. The onboarding form at /product-information, step 2 of their process, has 25 fields and none selects a directory; it was read, not submitted. Badge-gated directories on their list, by our own guides and records, include Startup Fame, DailyPings, Findly.tools, EasyDoFollow, Twelve Tools, Turbo0, Fazier, Magic Box Tools, Dang.ai, Toolpilot and Microlaunch; that is a floor, not a census. Dang.ai measured DR 82 and Turbo0 DR 80 on our Ahrefs-backed checker on that date, and Startup Fame DR 83 on 18 August 2026. Their homepage footer carries 18 directory badges, 16 of them from directories in their own database. No terms, refund or privacy page was found at /terms, /terms-of-service, /privacy, /privacy-policy, /refund, /refund-policy, /legal or /tos on the site, at /terms, /privacy and /refund in the app, in any footer, at sign-up or on the checkout page, which links only Stripe's own policies. The quoted blog line is from their E-E-A-T guide for tech startups. The Luc testimonial on their homepage matches a 2024 Product Hunt comment on the tool's first version, which read "publish your project on over 150 directories in just 10 minutes". Per-directory figures: 149/50 = $2.98, 29/30 = $0.97, 49/60 = $0.82, 79/100 = $0.79 and 149/160 = $0.93; 49/149 is 0.33 and 160/50 is 3.2. No claim is made that the two catalogs contain the same directories. Nothing was purchased from Quicklisting, so its delivery in practice, its selection and its turnaround are outside what we can report beyond its published wording; it states no turnaround, and Submitator's terms state an aim of 2 to 3 days and a committed ETA of 30 days from purchase, so this page makes no speed comparison. The over-$140 figure adds up the nine paid tiers listed in our savings table, each at the price that directory publishes; AffyList and AlterBase, two of those nine, belong to Submitator. Submitator sells 30 directories for $29, 60 for $49 and 100 for $79, each paid once; you pick them in the dashboard, one component carries every badge, each rejection on those plans adds a directory back and refunds follow the 30-day conditions in our terms; All Directories is $149 once for one project, covering every directory in the catalog at purchase and every one added later, with at least 180 committed by 31 December 2026.
The same $149 buys three times the directories
Their card says "Submit 1 Product to 50+ Directories", for $149, once. Our All Directories plan is $149, once, for one project, and it covers every directory in the catalog on the day you buy (160 today) and every directory we add after that. Our terms put a floor under it in writing: at least 180 by the end of 2026, with a proportional refund if we miss.
If you do not want all of them, the smaller plans make the gap wider. Their $149 against our $49 for 60 is three times the price for the number their own hero promises. Our $79 buys 100, which their only plan never promises at any price. Per directory it is $2.98 on their card against $0.79 to $0.97 on ours.
A database you can view is not a list you choose
Their FAQ, asked which directories they submit to: "We have a curated list of 60+ top-tier SaaS, AI, and startup directories. You can view the database on the app." View is the verb. The form you fill in after paying has 25 fields, from your tagline to your tech stack, and not one of them asks which directories you want.
The database itself will not help you judge either. Of the 108 entries, not one shows a Domain Rating, whether the link is dofollow or whether the directory wants a badge. Their FAQ admits the dofollow part is mixed: "Most of them are, but not all." Which ones, it does not say.
On our 30, 60 and 100 plans you tick every directory yourself, before anything is filed, with its Domain Rating on the card, and each rejection adds one directory back to your selection to spend elsewhere.
"We will provide the code for each"
Their FAQ answers the question every buyer should ask, and to its credit answers it straight. "Is there anything I need to do?" "Other than providing thorough information in our product form, you will need to embed some badges on your website. Most high-quality free directories require one. We will provide the code for each."
Read that as a job description. For every badge directory on the list you receive a snippet, put it on your site, ship it and keep it there for as long as you want the listing. Their list includes at least eleven directories we know gate the free listing on a badge or a link back, among them Dang.ai, Turbo0 and Startup Fame, each rated DR 80 or higher. Those are not the directories to skip.
Their own homepage footer carries eighteen directory badges, sixteen of them from directories in their own database. For a customer following their FAQ, a list like that is sixteen separate snippets to paste, ship and keep up, one per directory.
Submitator installs one badge component once and keeps every directory's badge live. You add it to your site one time. After that, which badge each directory wants, where it points and whether it is still up after your next redesign is our work. Nobody sends you code, and there is no snippet per directory to paste.
Badges Submitator places + keeps live
Thirty-four rows say Paid. Nothing says what that costs.
Their database tags 34 of its 108 directories "Paid", and 32 of the 89 on the public list. The word is not defined anywhere, no row carries a price and no page says whether the $149 covers them. The badge answer in the FAQ talks only about "free directories".
Ours is written into the plan. Even the $29 Starter includes the paid tier on nine directories, worth over $140 at those directories' own prices, two of them on directories we own, and the savings table names every one. There, Paid is a label on a row. Here it is already in the plan.
Nothing in writing
Quicklisting publishes no terms of service, no refund policy and no privacy policy: not on the site, not in the app and not at the Stripe checkout, which links only to Stripe's own policies. You pay $149 against a pricing card and an FAQ.
Their own blog knows what that is worth to a buyer. From their guide to E-E-A-T for tech startups: "Terms of service: Fair, transparent terms that build confidence".
Ours are published and specific: an aim of 2 to 3 days and a committed ETA of 30 days, a proportional refund for anything undelivered in that window, a rejected directory credited back as another of your choice on the 30 to 100 plans and, on All Directories, a written floor of 180 directories by the end of 2026 with a proportional refund if we miss it. Read our terms before you pay. Theirs do not exist to read.
Fifty, sixty, eighty-nine or a hundred and eight
The pricing card says 50+ directories. The hero, the FAQ and the Stripe line item say 60+. The public directory page lists 89, and the database in the app holds 108. The same homepage says "139+ Founders" at the top and "100+ startups" at the bottom.
Some of that is just a page that grew in pieces. It matters anyway, because when a service does not say which of its directories your $149 covers, the number on the card is the only promise you get, and here it changes between sections of the same page.
The second of five reviews on their homepage is from Luc of Heep AI. It matches a 2024 Product Hunt comment on the tool's first version, where it read "publish your project on over 150 directories in just 10 minutes". On the homepage it reads "publish your project on so many directories automatically".
What they get right
A named person runs it: Danny Takacs, with a contact email on the site and a booking link for calls. The database is free to browse after a sign-up, the price is one payment rather than a subscription and the FAQ is straight about two things services like to blur: acceptance is not guaranteed, and not every directory is dofollow.
Which one should you buy?
If one payment should cover everything, the same $149 buys all 160 of ours and every directory we add. If you want the 60 their hero promises, ours is $49. If you want 100, it is $79, a count their card never promises.
The only way their card comes out ahead is if a tweet and a newsletter mention are worth $100 to you, and you would rather paste the badge code yourself.
Quicklisting alternative: the short answer
The same $149 buys 50+ directories there and all 160 here. At their count you pay a third, you choose every directory, the badges are handled rather than handed to you, the paid tier on nine directories is included and the terms are published.
Their $149: 50+ directories. Our $149: all 160, and every one we add.
Or $49 for 60 and $79 for 100, every directory ticked by you, one component for every badge and the paid tier on nine directories already in the plan.
Real backlinks. Real DR. Real proof.
Their $149: 50+. Our $149: all 160.
Quicklisting is one $149 plan for 50+ directories you can view but are not offered to choose, badge code handed to you to paste, 34 rows tagged Paid with no price and no terms or refund policy. Submitator is $49 for 60, $79 for 100 you pick or $149 for all 160, with every badge handled through one component. All the submission tools compared.
FAQ
How much does Quicklisting cost?
$149, charged once through Stripe, to submit one product to what the pricing card calls “50+ Directories” (the hero and the FAQ say 60+). There is also a free Access tier, which gives you a view of their directory database and no submissions. Submitator is $29 for 30 directories, $49 for 60, $79 for 100 and $149 for all 160 in our catalog, one-time.
Is Submitator cheaper than Quicklisting?
Yes, at every count. Sixty directories cost $49 here and $149 there, and 100 cost $79 here while their only plan promises 50+. At the same $149, ours covers every directory in the catalog (160 today) and every one we add. Per directory that is $2.98 on their card against our $0.79 to $0.97.
Can you choose which directories Quicklisting submits to?
Their site does not offer it. The FAQ says “You can view the database on the app”, and the onboarding form you fill in after paying has 25 fields, none of which selects a directory. No row in their database shows a Domain Rating, a dofollow flag or a badge requirement. On Submitator you tick every directory yourself, with its Domain Rating on the card.
Does Quicklisting handle directory badges?
No, it hands them to you. Their FAQ: “you will need to embed some badges on your website. Most high-quality free directories require one. We will provide the code for each.” So every badge directory is a snippet you paste, ship and keep on your site for as long as you want the listing. Submitator installs one badge component once and keeps every directory's badge live.
Does Quicklisting include paid directories?
It does not say. Its database tags 34 of its 108 directories “Paid”, but the word is never defined, no row carries a price and no page says whether the $149 covers them. Submitator's $29 plan already includes the paid tier on nine directories, over $140 at their own prices, two of them directories we own.
Does Quicklisting have a refund policy?
None is published. There is no terms page, refund policy or privacy policy on the site or in the app, and the Stripe checkout links only Stripe's own policies. Submitator's terms give a 30-day refund policy on stated conditions, a committed delivery window with a proportional refund for anything undelivered and, on the 30 to 100 plans, a +1 directory credit when a directory rejects you.
Is Quicklisting legit?
It is a real service run by a named person, Danny Takacs, with a working Stripe checkout and a public contact email, and the brand goes back to a Product Hunt launch in January 2024. What it lacks is anything in writing: no terms, no refund policy and a directory count that reads 50+, 60+, 89 or 108 depending on where you look.
What is the best Quicklisting alternative?
Submitator. For the same $149, one project goes to all 160 directories in our catalog today and to each one added later. If you need fewer, it is $29 for 30, $49 for 60 or $79 for 100, and on those plans you pick every directory. On every plan one component handles every badge and the paid tier on nine directories comes with the plan.
Comparing options? See the others.
Same $149. 160 directories, not 50+.
Tick 30, 60 or 100 yourself, or take every one for $149. One component keeps every badge up, the paid tiers come with the plan and the terms are published before you pay.
