Filter to where youactually qualify.
Most submission lists are link dumps. Every listing here says who it accepts, what it rejects, and what happens after you press submit.
✓Lifetime pricing tier✓Existing paying customers✕Subscription-only pricing✕Pre-launch, no customersKnow if you qualify firstEach listing lists what you must have and what gets you rejected, in the platform's own terms. AppSumo needs a lifetime tier; subscription-only pricing is a rejection.See the rules336 platforms

Questions beforeyou submit
No scores, no paid placement, and no account needed to read any of it. If a platform pays us nothing, it still gets listed.

Is this just another list of directories?
No. Every listing states who the platform accepts and what disqualifies you, so you can skip the ones you'd be rejected from before spending an hour on the form.
Do you take money for placement?
No. Nothing here is sponsored and there is no paid tier for platforms. Where a platform charges you to submit, that's stated in its spec table.
Can my AI agent do the submitting?
Yes, once you connect SubmitMap to it over MCP. It then knows what you are building, which platforms will take it, and how each form wants to be filled, and it does the typing in your own browser while you watch. Reading the directory needs none of that.
Do I need an account to use this?
No. The directory, the guides, the lists and the route are open to everyone, with nothing to sign up for. An account only exists for the dashboard, which works out what your product qualifies for and tracks what you have submitted.
What does it cost?
Reading it costs nothing and needs no account. The dashboard carries 1 project and 5 tracked platforms free; past that it is $29 a month, $190 a year, or $250 once for a lifetime license.
