  • Growth $99 / 177+, proof or refund
  • Screenshot + log per claimed success
  • No Domain Rating number promise

LaunchDirectories

A ranked catalog plus done-for-you packs. Their pitch is curation, 3-6 day delivery, and a report with links, screenshots, and credentials.

  • Starter $99 / 30+ directories
  • Pro $149 / 60+
  • Premium $199 / 100+
  • Report: live links, screenshots, credentials

Cost per listing

Naive unit price, with the caveats attached.

Price divided by advertised count. Longer bar means a higher unit price. A $0.56 row that never indexes is still expensive. A $1.19 row that does is not. Use this as a first filter, then buy the proof culture you actually want.

FAQ

Does LaunchDirectories include screenshots and login credentials?
Their public pages say the report includes live links, screenshots, and credentials. SubmitLoop proof is a log plus screenshot or trace per claimed success. We do not sell a credential dump as the core deliverable; we sell evidence that the form was completed.
Who wins on starting price?
SubmitLoop Light at $49 for 60 guaranteed listings is the lower entry. LaunchDirectories Starter is $99 for 30+. Their Premium ($199 for 100+) is a different shape than our Growth ($99 for 177+).
Do both of you have a public directory catalog?
Yes. LaunchDirectories publishes a ranked directory database. SubmitLoop does too, with DR, DA, traffic, link type, pricing, language, country, and a guaranteed tag. Paid rows stay public; surplus free rows unlock with email.
Should I pick LaunchDirectories if I want paid partner launches bundled?
If their current plan copy includes paid launches on select partner directories, that can be a reason to choose them. SubmitLoop packs target our guaranteed free/easy pool. Paid placements stay visible in the catalog so you can buy them yourself.
