The SubmitSaaS Alternative at Half the Price
Submitator is a SubmitSaaS alternative that costs about half as much, lets you choose your own directories and gives you a live link to verify each listing instead of a spreadsheet. SubmitSaaS is a done-for-you service priced at $60 (60+ directories), $100 (100+) or $140 (140+), one-time. You fill a form, its team submits you to a fixed bundle you don't choose and tracks it in a Google Sheet you download as an Excel file with screenshots.
Submitator is $29 to $79 one-time for 30 to 100 directories that you pick. It submits with real automation and gives you a live dashboard with a clickable link for every submission, so you can confirm each listing yourself. Same job, roughly half the price, and you stay in control. Here's the honest comparison.

SubmitSaaS prices ($60 for 60+, $100 for 100+, $140 for 140+, one-time, 'Paid directories are not included') per its pricing page, homepage list, FAQ and Terms when last checked (18 October 2026). The directories come from the list on its homepage ('Our service submits your site to all directories listed on our homepage'), each row marked Dofollow or Nofollow, and you can't choose them. It guarantees 'the number of directory submissions included in your package, our 48-hour turnaround, and a complete submission report'; its DR figures are 'potential targets based on previous results.' Its Terms (last updated 1 October 2026) offer a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Submitator is $29/30, $49/60, $79/100 one-time, directories you choose with DR shown, badges handled, a live link per completed listing, rejections credited +1 and a 30-day refund window. No claim is made that the directories in our catalog are the same as theirs.
Roughly half the price
Start with the number. SubmitSaaS runs $60 to $140 one-time; Submitator is $29 to $79. Their cheapest plan costs more than double our entry price, and even matched directory-for-directory you pay less with us: $49 for 60 directories versus their $60, and $79 for 100 versus their $100. The difference is that you also choose which directories, and you can verify each one.
You pick the directories. SubmitSaaS sends a bundle.
SubmitSaaS submits you to a fixed bundle (60+, 100+ or 140+ depending on the plan); you can't pick which directories. Submitator hands you the list. You choose your directories from your dashboard, filtered by category or Domain Rating, and skip the ones that don't fit your product. You decide where your backlinks come from.
A live dashboard, not a spreadsheet
SubmitSaaS's proof is a spreadsheet: your submissions are tracked in a Google Sheet you download as an Excel file with verification screenshots, and its FAQ says plainly, "we do not provide a list of approved submissions." Submitator gives you a live dashboard with a clickable link for every submission, so you can open each listing and confirm the backlink is actually live, today and next month, instead of trusting a row in a sheet.
Dofollow you choose, not a fixed mix
SubmitSaaS promises "valuable backlinks" and calls its DR figures "potential targets based on previous results," but it doesn't say the links are dofollow. Its own homepage list marks each directory Dofollow or Nofollow, and since you can't pick, the nofollow ones come with the package. Submitator focuses on real, maintained, dofollow directories and you pick each one with its DR on screen. The live link for each listing lets you check the link type yourself rather than take it on faith.
Half the price, and you pick.
Their $60: 60+ from a fixed list. Our $29: 30 you pick, a live link for each. One-time.
When SubmitSaaS might still fit
To be fair: if you'd rather hand everything off, you don't care which directories you land on and a spreadsheet of submissions is all the proof you need, SubmitSaaS's done-for-you bundle does that job. Submitator is the better fit when you want to pay about half as much, pick your own directories and verify each listing with a live link. (Worth knowing: Submitmatic appears to sell the same service under a second name, see our Submitmatic comparison.)
Real backlinks. Real DR. Real proof.
