The SubmitDirs Alternative Where You Pick

About two and a half times cheaper, and you pick

Start with the real product. SubmitDirs' done-for-you tier is $199 for 105 directories it chooses; Submitator is $79 for 100 you choose, roughly two and a half times cheaper for a comparable count. Yes, SubmitDirs has a $9.90 "listing" tier that's cheaper than our $29, but it's a quick self-listing, not the 105-site submission, and even its "105 premium quality directory submissions" bullet is copied word-for-word from the $199 tier, which tells you how much to trust it. And you don't choose either way. Submitator hands you the list. You pick your directories from your dashboard, each with its Domain Rating on screen.

Badges handled, so you reach the directories they skip

Here's a difference that isn't obvious. SubmitDirs advertises "no backlink required" as a perk, but that's also a limit: it's steering you to directories that don't ask for a badge, and quietly skipping the many high-DR ones that do. Submitator handles the badge for you, installs one component once and keeps every directory's badge live, so you can actually get listed on premium, badge-gated directories like Startup Fame (DR 83) that a "no backlink required" service can't reach.

Paid directories? You pick those too.

SubmitDirs makes a big deal of its "10+ paid directory submissions, valued at $199+", and then values them at exactly the $199 price of the tier, so the rest looks free. Fine, but you get a fixed bundle you don't choose. Submitator covers premium and paid directories too, and you decide which ones you want, from a catalog with every directory's DR on screen, starting at $29 rather than $199.

Three weeks, or this afternoon

SubmitDirs does everything by hand and says it typically completes submissions in about 3 weeks. Submitator submits with real browser automation that handles the accounts, CAPTCHAs, and email verification, and typically finishes in about 24 to 48 hours. Same idea, this week instead of next month.

A report and no refund, from John Doe

Two last things worth knowing before you send $199. SubmitDirs' proof is a "detailed submission report", no live dashboard, no clickable link per listing, and its Pro tier never says the 105 links are dofollow. And there's no money-back guarantee: its Terms are "as is" and it "cannot guarantee acceptance by every directory." It's also worth knowing who you're paying: the site's three testimonials are credited to "John Doe," "Jane Smith," and "Mike Johnson", the placeholder names that ship with a template, its GitHub link 404s, and no company or person is named. Submitator is a named product that gives you a live dashboard with a link proving every listing, and a real 30-day money-back refund.

When SubmitDirs might fit

To be fair: if you want a quick $9.90 self-listing, or a hands-off $199 manual submission and you don't mind waiting 3 weeks, not choosing your directories, or the lack of a refund, SubmitDirs does that. Submitator is the better fit when you want to pick your own directories, have the badges handled so you reach the premium ones, choose your paid directories, go live in a day or two, verify each listing with a live link, and have a real money-back refund, for under half their Pro price.
