Also worth knowing
Well-known names we haven't tested yet, so there's no playbook for them. Submit to these yourself.
Where software gets compared
Technical buyers look for alternatives and compare stacks. These sites are where that comparing happens.
Listed as an alternative
Sites like SaaSHub and AlternativeTo organise software around what it replaces, so you show up next to tools people already know.
Strong domains
Several of these domains have a DR above 80. Whether the link is followed varies by site, so the agent checks each one on the live page.
Developer discovery
Devpost, SourceForge and StackShare are where developers look for projects, libraries and tools.

AI Engine Directories
Directories where people browse for AI tools, and that AI search tools often cite. Each one here has a playbook tested on a real submission.
Launch Platforms
Where early users look for new products. Launch on a few of them over some weeks, rather than all on one day.
Startup Databases
Investors, journalists and search engines look new companies up in a handful of databases. Here are the ones that matter, and how to get your profile onto each.
High-DR Directories
The strongest domains in our catalog that still take new products. DR is Ahrefs' Domain Rating, read from Ahrefs, never guessed.
MCP Registries
Where developers look for MCP servers to add to Claude, Cursor and other AI apps, and how each one takes a new server.
All directories
The directory index: every category, the names you'd know, and how the rest open with a Launch or Pro.
Frequently asked questions
Through Claude, Cursor or Codex. The agent fills each form in your own browser from a playbook tested on that directory, using your product profile. You handle the sign-ins and CAPTCHAs.
