Their Catalog Holds 16 Directories. Their Cheapest Plan Sells 25.

Where their price list starts, ours ends

Their cheapest plan costs exactly what our top plan does. At $149, All Directories sends one project to the 160 directories we submit to today and to every later addition, and our terms commit to a catalog of at least 180 by 31 December 2026, with the shortfall refunded proportionally if we miss. Their biggest plan costs $750 more than that and sells ten fewer.

Their own FAQ asks the question for us. On the page comparing them with List My Site: "Do you also submit to 100 directories for $169?" Their answer: "No. Growth is $399 for 75 targets and Scale is $899 for 150. We price by curated count, not a 100-listing flat pack." We do submit to 100 directories. It costs $79.

Sixteen directories, sold in packs of 25, 75 and 150

Their catalog page lists 16 directories, and their llms.txt agrees: "Catalog: 16 publicly documented directories with DA/DR, link type, and requirements". Every plan they sell is larger than that, and the pages that describe the plans say they come from that catalog. The pricing page: "Starter, Growth, and Scale are fixed target counts from our vetted catalog — not open-ended “unlimited” submissions." The homepage: "Every target is documented with DR, link type, and difficulty." The FAQ: "Packages pull from that list by fit and package size — not a secret bulk dump."

Their own pages treat a target and a directory as the same thing. Growth sells 75 targets, and the homepage headline sells the same 75 as directories: "Submit to 75 vetted directories without the spreadsheet." A few lines further down that page, the stats strip prints 16. Their FAQ answers "How many SaaS directories should I start with?" with "Most SaaS teams start with Growth (75 targets)." So do the subtraction their pages leave to you. At least 9 of Starter's 25 targets cannot be among the 16 directories they document. At Growth it is 59 of 75. At Scale it is 134 of 150.

No page on the site defines a target. The nearest thing to an explanation is a table cell on their StartupSubmit comparison: "16 publicly documented high-intent directories plus package expansion from that pool". How 16 directories expand into 150 targets is the part it does not say.

On their SubmitWell comparison they explain their pricing like this: "No. Starter is $149 for 25 curated targets. We price by documented catalog size, not a $35 volume floor." The documented catalog size is 16.

Measured with their own ruler

Their comparison pages are hard on other services, and one of the charges lands squarely on SubmitToDirectories itself. On LaunchDirectories: "They pick directories for you from their list".

They pick for you too. Their how-it-works page: "We prioritize directories by fit, submit on your behalf, and report queued, submitted, live, and needs-attention results with listing URLs when available." The Buy buttons send their checkout nothing but the plan you clicked, and the intake email that follows asks for "preferred categories", not directories.

Set that beside the line printed on all 57 of their comparison pages: "Teams choose managed submissions for clarity, not just volume." That is the clarity on offer: a checkout that will not let you name a single directory.

Here the choosing is yours. Buy 30, 60 or 100 and you choose each directory yourself in the dashboard, its Domain Rating on the card. Nothing is filed anywhere you did not select.

Why ours costs a fifth as much

One line on their cheap-services page is aimed at prices like ours: "Lowest cost per listing often comes from low-authority or poorly moderated directories." Our software does the submitting, which is why 30 directories cost $29. Every directory is named on its card with its Domain Rating before you tick it, and a directory joins our catalog only once our submission to it runs end to end.

Their automation page adds that automated submissions are "Usually generic copy pasted everywhere". Not here. Every directory gets its own description, written to that directory's length rules, and your cover image is cut to each site's format. CAPTCHAs never reach you.

Their catalog, checked against the directories

Their about page sets the bar: "Keep public guides factual: DA/DR, pricing, and requirements must be verifiable". So we held the 16 rows up against the directories themselves. Here are two that do not survive it, both on whether the link counts.

Crunchbase is labelled dofollow: "Links are often dofollow, which adds SEO upside on top of brand validation." On four Crunchbase company profiles, all eight links to the company's website carry rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer".

TrustRadius wears a dofollow badge in their catalog table and at the top of their own TrustRadius guide, while the same guide says "Links are typically nofollow; value shows up in late-stage evaluation and sales trust."

The Domain Ratings deserve credit: 10 of the 16 sit within a point of Ahrefs, and more of the misses run low than high. The largest one runs the other way, AI Tools FYI at 58 on their page and 43 on Ahrefs.

The paid ones cost extra

Their FAQ, asked whether paid directory fees are in the price: "No. Package prices cover matching, submission, and reporting. Third-party paid listing fees are separate unless agreed in writing."

Our FAQ answers the same question the other way: you pay us once and nothing else. The $29 Starter already carries the paid tier on nine directories, which would cost you over $140 bought directly at their published prices. Two of the nine are directories Submitator owns, and the savings table lists each one with its price.

Who puts the badge on your site?

Turbo0 is in their catalog with "Badge required" marked Yes and the requirement "Verification badge on free tier". Turbo0's own pricing page is blunter about the free listing: "Backlink to our site is required". Their LaunchDirectories comparison lists badge-gated launches as "Included when fit and package allow", and no page of theirs says who puts the badge on your website, or who notices when a redesign takes it off.

Here that is our job. You install one badge component, once. From then on every directory's badge is placed and kept live from our side, through that one component, so there is no commit per directory and no snippet waiting in your inbox.

Status by email until the portal opens

Per-directory status is the heart of their pitch: queued, submitted, live and needs attention, with listing URLs. Their /app page says how it reaches you today: "The logged-in client portal is not open yet. Buy a package online, and we will deliver submission status and listing URLs by email until the portal launches."

Ours is a live dashboard showing the status of every submission (pending, submitted, approved or needs attention) and a final report with every link, next to a daily Ahrefs check of your Domain Rating that is free from the moment you add your site.

Nobody is named

The company details on their about page are a brand, a website and a contact form. The privacy policy's answer to who we are is one sentence: "SubmitToDirectories ("we", "us") operates submittodirectories.org." No company name, person, street address or email address appears anywhere on the site, so the form is the only way in.

Their terms are where the money questions land. Refunds are "handled case-by-case", for work they cannot perform "for reasons within our control", if you write in "within 14 days of purchase via the contact form", and the fair remedy they work toward may be "re-performance". On delivery: "Delivery timelines depend on package size, asset completeness, and third-party review queues." No date at all.

Our terms name the company (Adeptus Innovatio SL), its address in Spain and the law that governs them. The same terms aim at 2 to 3 days and commit to 21 days from purchase at most, refund proportionally for any directory not delivered within our committed ETA, credit back one directory for each rejection on the 30 to 100 plans and hold All Directories to a catalog of at least 180 by 31 December 2026. Read them next to theirs: our remedies come with numbers, theirs are "handled case-by-case".

"Customer quotes will be added only when verified"

That line sits on 79 of their 101 pages, and the outcome report on their pricing page is labelled "Not a live customer campaign." The domain was registered on 13 July 2026 and Ahrefs rates it DR 3 against our 39. There is no Trustpilot page, Product Hunt launch or Hacker News thread for the service.

So the reporting they sell has no customer you can ask about. We have submitted 440+ startups, and our public reviews sit on PeerPush and MicroLaunch, where anyone can read them.

What they get right

The prices are printed and you can buy without a sales call or a quote to wait for. A fixable rejection gets one revision pass where the directory allows it. Each of the 16 directory pages prints a Domain Rating, an effort estimate and the requirements, and the sample report is labelled as a sample rather than passed off as a customer's.

Which one should you buy?

Around 25 directories is our Starter: $29 for 30, chosen by you. Seventy-five or more is either $79 for 100 you choose, or $149 for all 160 with every later addition included.

Rather not choose at all? Our $149 tier leaves nothing to pick and covers every directory we have, while their card picks your 25 from a catalog that documents 16.

SubmitToDirectories alternative: the short answer

The same $149 buys 25 directory targets there and all 160 directories here. For their Starter count you pay a fifth and pick each directory yourself, one component keeps the badges live, nine paid tiers are already covered and our terms name the company taking your money.
