Easy Save AI Wants $199 to Submit You to 100+ Free Directories. Our Hundred Costs $79.

Credit first: the $29 does what it says

Both their tiers lead with "Do-Follow Backlink For SEO", so we checked all of it rather than sampling. Every one of the 207 product pages in their sitemap returned 200. 162 carry a Visit button pointing at the listed tool, and 161 of those have no rel attribute at all, which is a followed link in its plainest form. Exactly one page in the whole catalogue carries nofollow. A rel=canonical is present on all 207.

At $29 on a domain rated 16, that is a small, straightforward purchase and nothing about it is oversold. Their second tier, "Be A Sponsor" at $59.99 a year, adds a sponsor rotation, a monthly guest post and a mention in the newsletter. Both tiers end with "Shout out on my X account", which tells you the scale of the operation more precisely than any traffic figure would.

The $199 is our category, and the hundred is unnamed

On the homepage, under a heading that reads "Let Us Submit Your Tool To 100+ Directories", sits a button marked "Submit My Tool ($199)" with $249 struck through beside it. The ten bullets promise manual submissions, saved hours, high-DR backlinks, a detailed report and long-lasting SEO benefits.

What no page carries is the list. Searching their homepage, pricing page and submission page for the twelve directories anyone would expect in such a package returns nothing readable: no Product Hunt, no BetaList, no G2, no Capterra, no AlternativeTo, no Futurepedia, no Crunchbase, no F6S, no SourceForge, no Toolify, no Uneed, no Fazier. The report that names them arrives after you have paid for them.

And their own sentence describes the hundred as "100+ relevant and free directories". That word is theirs. It does not make the service pointless, because a hundred manual submissions is genuinely a day of work and their bullet claims "Save 70+ hours of manual work". It does mean the $199 is paying for typing rather than for access, which is a different product from the one the phrase high-DR backlinks suggests.

Thirty-nine listings send the click through an affiliate account

Of the 207 product pages, 39 have a Visit button that is not a plain link to the tool. It carries ?via=easysaveai, ?via=yusuf or points at ref.adsy.com, all of which are affiliate tracking. A further 6 carry no outbound link to the listed tool at all, among them Linguix, Namelix and SaneBox.

Monetising a directory through affiliate links is ordinary and there is nothing wrong with it. What is missing is the sentence saying so. /affiliate-disclosure and /disclosure both return 404, no listing page carrying an affiliate link mentions it, and the only appearance of the word on their disclaimer is boilerplate about cookies: "Some of our affiliate/advertising partners may also use cookies."

Two prices, two comparisons

Their listing is $29 and our Starter plan is $29, so nobody is undercutting anybody there. Theirs is one listing on a DR 16 domain. Ours is submissions to thirty directories, each named in your dashboard with its Domain Rating on the card, ticked by you before anything is filed.

Their directory service is $199 and our Scale plan is $79. Both are a hundred directories. That is $120 of difference, or two and a half times the money, and the difference in what you can inspect is larger than the difference in price: our hundred is a list you read and choose from with every Domain Rating on screen, theirs is a number with a report at the end of it. Nine of our hundred sell paid tiers of their own that the plan absorbs, each named with its price on the savings page, over $140 in total.

Easy Save AI review: which of the two, if either?

The $29 listing is fine. The link is followed, the page is canonical, the badge lasts a month and the price matches the domain. If you want a small listing on a small directory, buy it and expect exactly what the bullets say, because on the measurable part they were accurate on 206 of 207 pages.

The $199 is the one to argue with, and not only because it is our category. It is priced at two and a half times what a hundred directories cost here, the hundred is named nowhere, and their own copy calls those directories free. Ask for the list in writing before you decide. If it comes back and it is good, you will have learned something either way.

One last thing worth noticing while you are on their site. Thirty-nine of their listings send the click through an affiliate account and nothing on the page says so. It is not a reason to avoid them. It is a reason to read the Visit button before you trust the ranking above it.
