Free directory shortlist builder (AI, SaaS and launch directories)
Last updated: 9 November 2026 (IST)
Choose your product type and budget, and get an ordered shortlist from our 106 source-checked directories. You can download it as a tracker CSV with status columns already set up. It runs in your browser, with no sign-up and no email. Nothing is submitted for you.
| # | Directory | Type | Priority | Cost (as checked) | Badge or backlink | Review time |
|---|
How the order works
Each product type gives more weight to the directory categories where its buyers tend to browse. Within a category, rows are sorted by our editorial priority tier (1 means start here), then by name. Priority is a judgment about fit and how much effort a listing takes. It is not a traffic or ranking measurement. Costs, badge rules and review times are what each directory's own page said when we checked it. Confirm them again before you submit.
Using the tracker
The CSV has the submit URL and checked cost for every row, plus empty Status, Date submitted, Live URL and Notes columns. Keep "submitted", "approved" and "live" as separate statuses, and see what each submission status means. Step-by-step guides: submitting a SaaS, submitting an AI tool, manual vs automated submission, getting an AI agent listed and directory submission for startups. To look up a specific directory or service, use Ask GearPicked.
Questions
Where does the shortlist come from?
From the 106 routes on our checked directory list. We read each directory's own submit or pricing page and admitted it only if it didn't require a backlink or badge on your site. The builder only filters and orders that list. It doesn't submit anything.
Why are some directories left out for my product type?
The builder leaves out categories that rarely fit. For example, AI-only catalogs are dropped for a non-AI SaaS, because many of them reject products that are not AI tools.
Does a shorter list mean worse results?
No. A short list of directories where your buyers actually browse is usually worth more than a long generic one. Start with the first five to ten, track what each sends you, then decide whether to continue.
If you'd rather hand off the form-filling, GearPicked's manual submission service costs $99 for 100 submissions or $149 for 200. Approvals, backlinks and rankings are never guaranteed.
