Launch Directory Finder
A filterable table of 158 startup launch directories and SaaS launch directories. Compare price, whether the listing link is dofollow, who the audience is, and an approximate Domain Rating when we have a figure we can cite. Use it to plan a launch week instead of collecting URLs in a spreadsheet.
EarlyHunt, IndieHunt, MakerHunt, SideHunt, Aura++, and Uno Directory are run by Praneet Brar and marked Network. Their public prices were checked on 11 October 2026: Premium is $19 on the Hunts, Aura++ Premium is $29 (Premium Plus is $69), and Uno Directory is $10. Other prices and every Domain Rating are approximate.

How to read the columns
- Name and URL. The directory name links to its site. The full URL and category sit under the name.
- Approx. DR always wears a tilde. Domain Rating is approximate. ahrefs-snapshot-2026-09-06 is an Ahrefs point-in-time snapshot from 6 Sep 2026. site-stated-2026-10-11 is the number that directory printed on its own pricing page on 11 Oct 2026. A blank DR means we did not have a figure worth citing.
- Price. confirmed prices were checked against the directory's public pricing on 11 Oct 2026, or the listing is plainly free to post. snapshot prices come from a 6 Sep 2026 public listing and are marked with a tilde. Check site means the current fee was not verified.
- Dofollow. yes/no/mixed come from a sample of listing links on 6 Sep 2026, or from a direct check (Hacker News and Reddit are nofollow). premium means the paid tier is dofollow and the free tier is not. unknown was not measured.
The narrative companion to this table is the 100+ places to launch your startup guide. For where EarlyHunt sits among other hunts, see alternatives and the launch guide.
Launch on EarlyHunt when the list is done
EarlyHunt Premium is $19 once if you want a guaranteed dofollow from this site, a skip of the free queue, and Launch Kit graphics. Free launches stay open. Premium on IndieHunt, MakerHunt, and SideHunt is the same $19.
Launch directory questions
What is a startup launch directory?
A startup launch directory is a site that lists new products so early users, founders, or buyers can find them. Some are one-day hunt communities such as Product Hunt. Others are permanent SaaS, AI, or startup directories. This page lists both, and you can filter by category.
What are SaaS launch directories?
SaaS launch directories are the listings aimed at software products: comparison sites, tool directories, and launch platforms where a SaaS can be submitted. Filter the table to SaaS directory, Review site, or Launch platform depending on whether you want a lasting listing, reviews, or a launch-day audience.
How should I read the approximate Domain Rating?
Domain Rating is an Ahrefs metric and it changes. A number appears only when we can cite a source: an Ahrefs snapshot from 6 September 2026, or the figure that directory printed on its own pricing page on 11 October 2026. The tilde means the figure is approximate. A dash means we did not have a number worth publishing. A high DR is not a promise that your page will rank.
Does a listing include a dofollow backlink?
Sometimes. Dofollow means the listing link is not marked nofollow, ugc, or sponsored. This table uses Yes, No, Premium, Mixed, or Unknown. Premium means the paid plan is dofollow and the free plan is not. That is how EarlyHunt, IndieHunt, MakerHunt, SideHunt, Aura++, and Uno Directory work. Unknown means we did not measure that site. Open a live listing before you pay for SEO.
Which startup launch directories are free?
Use the Price filter and choose Free. Product Hunt, Hacker News Show HN, Indie Hackers, Peerlist, and several communities are free to post. Free does not mean the link is dofollow. Hacker News and Reddit mark submitted links nofollow.
How much does EarlyHunt Premium cost?
EarlyHunt Premium is $19 once. IndieHunt, MakerHunt, and SideHunt Premium are also $19 once. Those prices were checked on each pricing page on 11 October 2026. Free launches are still available. On EarlyHunt, a free launch needs a badge and stays nofollow unless the project finishes in the top 3.
What do Aura++ and Uno Directory cost?
Aura++ Premium is $29 and Premium Plus is $69. Uno Directory is $10 one-time, with a free listing if you add a backlink. They are part of the same network as EarlyHunt. Those prices were checked on 11 October 2026.
Are the Network directories independent?
No. EarlyHunt, IndieHunt, MakerHunt, SideHunt, Aura++, and Uno Directory are run by Praneet Brar. They are badged Network so this list does not pretend they are unaffiliated. They sort with the same rules as every other row.
How often do prices and Domain Ratings change?
Often. Prices from the 6 September 2026 snapshot are marked with a tilde. Check site means the current fee was not verified for this release. Confirm the fee on the directory before you pay.
Should I submit to every directory in this list?
No. Start with audiences you can show up for: a Product Hunt or EarlyHunt launch, Show HN if the product is technical, and a few directories that match the category. A handful of relevant listings is more useful than posting the same blurb everywhere on the same day.
