The SubmitBro Alternative With More Directories You Pick
Submitator is a SubmitBro alternative that costs less, covers more directories, and lets you choose them yourself. SubmitBro's top plan is $99 for 70 directories it picks for you, and you track progress in an Excel sheet it shares over. Submitator's $79 plan is 100 directories you choose, each with a live link you can click to confirm it's live.
It holds at the entry tier too: SubmitBro is $49 for 30 directories, where Submitator is $29 for the same 30, so you pay less per directory at every level (about $1.40 to $1.60 on SubmitBro versus under $1 with us). SubmitBro's page also says its price is set to rise to $199. Here's the honest comparison.

SubmitBro's prices ($49 Basic / $99 Pro, shown as discounted from $99 / $149, with the page saying they rise to $199) and counts (30+/70+) are from its homepage; most of its directory list is undisclosed ('and many more'). SubmitBro doesn't state a refund policy or whether its links are dofollow. Verify current terms before buying. Last checked June 2026.
More directories, for less money
Line the plans up and Submitator wins on both axes at once. SubmitBro's top tier is $99 for 70 directories; Submitator's is $79 for 100. Their entry is $49 for 30; ours is $29 for the same 30. That works out to roughly $1.40 to $1.60 per directory on SubmitBro versus under $1 with us, so you get more directories and pay less for each one. And with SubmitBro's price set to climb to $199, the gap only widens.
You pick the directories. SubmitBro picks for you.
There's a deeper issue than the count: you can't see the list. SubmitBro names only about nine of its directories (a mix, from DR 27 up to DR 80) and leaves the rest as "and many more," and you don't get to choose any of them. Submitator hands you the full catalog. You choose your directories from your dashboard, filtered by category or Domain Rating, including premium launches SubmitBro doesn't advertise, like Product Hunt and Turbo0.
A live dashboard, not an Excel sheet
SubmitBro's proof is an Excel sheet: it submits you, then shares a spreadsheet with a submission report. Submitator gives you a live dashboard with a screenshot and a clickable link for every submission, so you can open each listing and confirm the backlink is live, not just read a row in a sheet. It also focuses on dofollow directories and carries a 30-day money-back refund. SubmitBro doesn't say whether its links are dofollow, and doesn't state a refund policy.
100 directories you pick, for $79.
More than SubmitBro's 70, you choose them, a live link for each. From $29, one-time.
When SubmitBro might still fit
To be fair: if you'd rather hand the whole thing off, you don't mind a team picking your directories, and a shared Excel sheet is enough proof for you, SubmitBro's done-for-you service does that job. Submitator is the better fit when you want more directories per dollar, your own choice of which ones, and a live link proving each listing went up.
Real backlinks. Real DR. Real proof.
