Eligibility

Who Uneed Directories accepts

You need
A directory. This is a directory of directories, so an ordinary product does not qualify
An account, created with email and password: there is no social sign-in
The $4.99 one-off listing fee
You'll be rejected if
Products that are not directories, however good they are
Anything you are not willing to have categorised under one of their ten categories
DirectoriesLaunchpads
What you actually get
A detailed page of your own with a dofollow link to your homepage: rel=noopener with no nofollow, a plain ?ref parameter rather than a redirect, verified on live listings. Your GitHub, X and contact email get their own dofollow links beside it. The audience is founders hunting for places to submit, which is a narrow but unusually well-qualified crowd if you run a directory yourself.

How to submit to Uneed Directories

1
Make an account first
/add-your-directory renders no form at all until you are signed in; it shows two buttons and a line saying an account is required. Signup is email and password only, with no Google, GitHub or X option.
2
Let their crawler read your site
The submit page's own copy is 'let our robots do the work and gather all your directory's data for you', so expect a scrape-first form rather than empty fields. Check every value it writes before accepting it.
3
Pick a category and pricing tag
Ten categories: Launch Platforms, Development, Design, Marketing, Personal Life, Business and Finance, Education and Learning, Productivity and Tools, Technology and Innovation, AI. Listings also carry a Free, Freemium or Premium tag describing your directory's own pricing.
4
Pay the $4.99
The listing tier is a one-off $4.99 for a lifetime listing and one backlink. $87 a month buys the premium slot at the top of results; $249 is an unrelated auto-submission service for products, not directories.

Gotchas

Only directories are listed here. If you built a product rather than a directory, there is nothing on this site for you, and the $249 Auto Submit offer on the pricing page is a different service entirely.
There is no free listing. $4.99 is small, but it is charged once per directory and the pricing page's talk of upgrading from a free listing does not correspond to anything the form offers.
Signup is email and password only, with no social login, and as of 13 August 2026 it does not work: Create account returns 'Error sending confirmation email' and no account is made. Since the submission form does not exist until you have one, the whole platform is currently shut to new submitters.
