StartupSubmit alternative: volume packs vs a public catalog

TL;DR: StartupSubmit’s public service page lists one-time $99 (60+), $199 (150+), and $299 (220+ with a DR 30+ guarantee) manual packs delivered in 5–7 days. Key difference: Starter $149, Growth $399, Scale $899. StartupSubmit: $99 / $199 / $299 for 60+ / 150+ / 220+ directories (startupsubmit.app).

StartupSubmit’s public service page lists one-time $99 (60+), $199 (150+), and $299 (220+ with a DR 30+ guarantee) manual packs delivered in 5–7 days. SubmitToDirectories sells Starter $149, Growth $399, and Scale $899 from a smaller public catalog and does not guarantee domain rating.

FAQ

Do you guarantee a DR 30+ increase?

No. Directory outcomes depend on approvals, relevance, and your site. We report listing status and URLs instead of promising DR lifts.

How do package sizes compare?

StartupSubmit’s published tiers emphasize 60+ to 220+ listings. Our packages are 25, 75, and 150 targets from a smaller public catalog — see pricing.

Is this the same as DirSubmit?

No. DirSubmit is a separate volume DFY we already compare. This page is for founders evaluating StartupSubmit’s published $99–$299 packs.

How do I start?

Buy Starter, Growth, or Scale on the pricing page. After payment we email the asset checklist and begin submissions.
