Submit to NextBigWhat, or 100 Directories
NextBigWhat's submit page is a paid launch listing: $39 (Lite) or $79 (Pro), one-time. For that you get a listing on their tech and AI media site (around DR 59), a homepage feature and newsletter mention for 2 or 5 days, and a direct link to your product. In short, a burst of visibility on one site.
Here's the thing worth knowing before you pay: for the same $79, Submitator lists you on 100 directories, and $39 is right around our 30-directory range ($29). One site for a few days, or a hundred directories permanently, for the same money. Here's the honest comparison, including what NextBigWhat is genuinely good for.
NextBigWhat vs Submitator

| How long it lasts | Permanent listings | 2–5 day feature |
| Proof per listing | Live dashboard + link | One listing page |
| Backlinks | Dofollow focus | Link type not stated |
NextBigWhat pricing (Lite $39, shown from $79; Pro $79, from $129, both one-time) and deliverables (24h go-live, homepage feature + newsletter visibility for 2 or 5 days, a direct link) per its submit page when last checked (July 2026). It's a paid listing on one media site (DR ~59, Ahrefs), sells click-through visibility rather than a stated dofollow backlink, publishes no audience numbers, and has no stated refund policy. Submitator is $29/30, $49/60, $79/100 one-time, directories you choose, with a live link per listing.
One site for a few days, or a hundred permanently
Line the numbers up. NextBigWhat's Pro is $79 for a listing on one site, plus a homepage feature and newsletter mention that run for 5 days and then stop. Submitator is also $79, and it lists you on 100 directories that stay up permanently. At the lower tier it's the same story: their $39 Lite buys a 2-day feature on one site, while $29 gets you 30 directories with us. The visibility NextBigWhat sells is real, but it's time-boxed to one place; the reach adds up faster across a hundred listings that don't expire.
What NextBigWhat is actually good for
To be fair, and NextBigWhat is refreshingly blunt about this: it's a launch listing, not an SEO service. Its own FAQ says "Is this just a listing? Yes. And that is the point." If you specifically want a burst of attention from their startup and AI audience during launch week, a homepage slot and a newsletter mention do that, and Submitator doesn't. Two honest caveats: NextBigWhat publishes no subscriber or traffic numbers, so you can't size the audience you're paying for, and it frames the "direct link" as click-through traffic, never as a dofollow SEO backlink. So buy it for the eyeballs, not the link.
You pick, they're permanent, and the link counts
Where Submitator wins is the part NextBigWhat isn't selling. You choose your 30 to 100 directories, filtered by category or Domain Rating; each listing is permanent and comes with a live link you can click to confirm it's up; and the focus is real, dofollow directories, with a catalog that reaches DR 90-plus. One DR-59 media feature is a fine launch-week boost. A hundred directory backlinks you keep is a different kind of value, for the same $79.
Same money. A hundred directories, not one.

FAQ
Should I submit to NextBigWhat?
It's a paid launch listing ($39 or $79, one-time) that features your product on the NextBigWhat tech and AI media site, with a homepage spot and newsletter mention for 2 or 5 days and a link to your product. It's worth it if you specifically want a burst of their audience's attention at launch. If you want backlinks and lasting reach, the same $79 gets you 100 directories with Submitator instead of one site for a few days.
How much does NextBigWhat cost?
NextBigWhat is one-time. Lite is $39 (shown as discounted from $79): your listing goes live within 24 hours, featured on the homepage for 2 days, newsletter visibility for 2 days, and a direct link to your product. Pro is $79 (from $129) and extends the homepage feature and newsletter to 5 days. There's no free tier. Submitator is $29 for 30 directories, $49 for 60, and $79 for 100.
Does Submitator submit to NextBigWhat?
No. NextBigWhat is a paid media listing on one site, not a directory Submitator submits to. Submitator submits you to 100+ real directories you pick. The point of the comparison is the money: for the price of one NextBigWhat feature, you get 30 to 100 permanent directory listings instead.
What's NextBigWhat's Domain Rating?
Around DR 59. Worth knowing: NextBigWhat pitches its 'direct link' as click-through traffic to your product, not an SEO backlink, and doesn't state whether the link is dofollow. Submitator focuses on real, dofollow directories, its catalog spans sites up to DR 90-plus, and you get 30 to 100 of them.
Is a NextBigWhat feature permanent?
The homepage feature and newsletter visibility run for 2 days (Lite) or 5 days (Pro), then stop. NextBigWhat also doesn't publish any audience numbers, so you can't size the visibility up front, and it has no stated refund policy. Submitator's directory listings are permanent, with a live link you can check for each.
What do you get for $79?
On NextBigWhat, $79 buys one listing plus a 5-day homepage feature and newsletter mention on their site. On Submitator, $79 lists you on 100 directories you pick, permanently, with a live link proving each one. Same price, one site versus a hundred.
