51 startup directories to submit your product

Every place worth listing a SaaS, AI or indie product — with what it actually costs, whether it wants a badge back, and whether the link is really dofollow.

We check, we don’t repeat claims. Every “dofollow” below means we fetched a real listing page on that site and read the link’s rel attribute. Not verified means we couldn’t confirm it — not that the link is bad.
