Launch directory submission service for new SaaS
Launch founders need directories that send early users and backlinks.
Why it can work
- Most free launch directories are dead or now charge fees.
- Manual submissions to many directories are slow.
- Listings often bring no traffic or real value.
Watch out
- Directory traffic may still be too thin to matter.
- Paid verification fees may erode any gain.
