LaunchDistro is a LaunchRepo alternative for founders who'd rather not set up a toolkit before their first submission. It connects to Claude or Cursor with one line, guides your agent through each form from a tested playbook in your own browser, and checks every link went live.
LaunchRepo and LaunchDistro are closer than most tools here: both put your own AI agent to work, in your browser, with you handling sign-ins. LaunchRepo sells the toolkit once, as a private GitHub repository your agent reads. Here's where the two differ.
Everything about LaunchRepo below comes from their own site, checked on 24 September 2026.
| Compared on | LaunchRepo | LaunchDistro |
|---|---|---|
| Who fills the form | Your agent reads the page through Chrome DevTools MCP and fills it from a Markdown guide | Your agent, in your browser, from a playbook tested on a real submission |
| Which directories | You pick from the guides | Matched to your product, with the reason for each and the order to submit in |
| Price | €104.98 once (rises 20% every 20 sales), unlimited own products | Free for 10 submissions, €29 per launch, or Pro €39/mo or €349/yr |
| Directories | 323 guides: 57 verified free, 77 conditional free, 158 research-only, 31 unavailable | 200+ catalogued, 47 with a playbook tested on a real submission |
| Setup | Git, Python 3.10+, Node.js, Chrome and an agent with Chrome DevTools MCP | One line or one URL in your AI app; nothing to install |
| Proof | A local tracker with submitted, pending and live kept apart | The confirmation page for every submission, then a check of the live page for your link and its rel |
| What you keep | The repository and its Markdown guides, yours to keep | Your dashboard and receipts; playbooks stay on our side and update as forms change |
| Refund | None once access is delivered | Full refund within 3 days |

Both put your own agent in your own browser. LaunchRepo gives it a guide per platform in your repo; LaunchDistro serves each directory's playbook when the agent needs it, with the free plan's conditions and where to stop, and updates it on our side when a form changes. Either way your AI provider's usage applies to the forms your agent fills, which LaunchRepo says plainly too.
LaunchRepo is €104.98 once, and the price rises 20% after every 20 sales. It covers every product you own, and you keep the repository. LaunchDistro is free for 10 submissions, then €29 once for up to 100 directories for one product in 30 days, or Pro at €39 a month or €349 a year for every product, with no cap. If you're comfortable with Git and plan to launch several products for years, LaunchRepo's one payment is hard to beat.
LaunchRepo lists 323 guides and is upfront that only 57 are verified free and 77 conditional, with a check date on each. That's more tested routes than we have today: our catalog lists 200+ directories, with 47 backed by a playbook tested on a real submission. We add more as each one passes a live run.
LaunchRepo needs Git, Python, Node.js, Chrome and an agent wired to Chrome DevTools, and its site suggests checking that before you buy. LaunchDistro runs on our side: you add one line or one URL to Claude or Cursor, and your agent uses the browser it already has.
Both keep submitted, pending and live apart. LaunchDistro also reads each live link's rel attribute, keeps each confirmation page in your dashboard, and on Pro checks placed links again every week, so a listing that drops or turns nofollow shows up.
A done-for-you service and a tool you run are different trades. Here's when theirs wins.
One payment, the repository is yours, and it covers every product you own.
Their 134 verified or conditional zero-cost routes outnumber our 47 tested playbooks right now.
Their guides are plain Markdown in your own repo, so you can read and change every step.
It works from Claude or Cursor. See how in the Claude and Cursor guides.
Directories are matched to your product, with the reason for each and a plan that starts the long queues first.
No Git, Node.js or DevTools wiring before your first submission: one line in your AI app, and your own browser.
Each live link's rel is read, and placed links are checked again for drops and nofollow flips.
Each described from its own site, checked on the same date.
Browser automation you pay for once: $29, $49 or $79 for 30, 60 or 100 directories you pick, delivered in 24 to 48 hours.
A done-for-you service: $60 to $140 once for 60+ to 140+ submissions within 48 hours. Compare SubmitSaaS with LaunchDistro.
A done-for-you service: 100 hand-picked directories for $499, delivered over about a month. Compare ListingBott with LaunchDistro.
Close. Both use your own AI agent and your own browser, and both stop for sign-ins and payments. The difference is where it lives: LaunchRepo is a repository you set up and keep, LaunchDistro is a server you connect to, with matching, a dashboard and weekly link checks on our side.
