Nofollow83Free—HackMD- Submit URL
- hackmd.io/?nav=overview
- How to submit
- Create a note and add your link.
- Pitfalls & tips
- This isn't a submission directory. It's a collaborative Markdown workspace that lets you publish notes publicly. DR 83 looks tempting, but published links are nofollow, so it's pointless as a backlink play. Use it for what it is — hosting a changelog, a technical write-up, or docs for an open-source project.

Nofollow75Free6.0MProduct Hunt- Submit URL
- www.producthunt.com/posts/new
- How to submit
- Sign up, build the product page — name, tagline, images or a video, category — write your first maker comment, and schedule a launch day.
- Pitfalls & tips
- Launch at 12:01 AM Pacific to get the full day. Never publicly beg for upvotes — PH strips votes and can bury your rank. Prep your assets and first comment ahead; there's no time on launch day.

Dofollow73Free—Good AI Tools- Submit URL
- goodaitools.com
- How to submit
- Log in with Google, then submit from Get Started — tool name, one-line description, category, logo, and your link.
- Pitfalls & tips
- You have to log in before submitting — no anonymous form. The tool has to actually work, and the one-liner should say who it's for and what it solves. Placeholder pages get rejected.

- Dofollow

Dofollow71Free—AI Agents Directory- Submit URL
- aiagentsdirectory.com
- How to submit
- Submit from the nav (/submit-agent) — agent name, what it does, use cases, pricing, and your link. A basic listing is free.
- Pitfalls & tips
- It's human-reviewed, so a complete profile (use cases, integrations, pricing) clears faster. The Featured/Partner slots are paid — don't expect those for free.

Nofollow68Free1.6MSaaSHub- Submit URL
- www.saashub.com/submit
- How to submit
- Fill in your product info and wait for review.
- Pitfalls & tips
- You'll need to list competitors and verify with an email on your product's domain.

Nofollow67Free52600SideProjectors- Submit URL
- www.sideprojectors.com
- How to submit
- Register, then click Submit a Project.
- Pitfalls & tips
- A marketplace for buying and selling side projects, not a launch directory. Listings come in three kinds: for sale, co-founder wanted, or showcase. Post a showcase if you just want the listing — free, but you need an account. The crowd here shops for projects to buy, so expect the link more than the traffic.

Nofollow53Free—AI Tools (aitools.inc)- Submit URL
- aitools.inc/submit
- How to submit
- Hit Submit Now and pick either the free or paid lane.
- Pitfalls & tips
- An AI tools directory that's upfront about both paths. A free submission enters a queue with a stated 30-90 day wait and no guaranteed placement. The $129 Fast Lane puts you live in 24-48 hours, with a full refund if your tool doesn't meet their bar. Go free unless you have a launch date to hit.

Nofollow51Free13000Launching Next- Submit URL
- www.launchingnext.com/submit
- How to submit
- Submit via the on-page form.
- Pitfalls & tips
- An old startup and side-project listing site with 45,000+ entries. Free submission works, but you sit in a queue with no promised date. There's a $99 upgrade to be considered for publication within one business day. The form asks for your 90-day marketing budget — answer honestly, it doesn't gate approval.

Dofollow39Free5kResource.fyi- How to submit
- Sign in with Google or GitHub, then click Submit Resource.
- Pitfalls & tips
- A resource directory for developers and designers — categories like AI, APIs, fonts, UI libraries. Submitting is free, but you have to sign in with Google or GitHub first; that's their spam filter. Entries are ordered by upvotes, so get a few people to upvote yours and it moves up the category page.

Dofollow25Free230KAI Valley- How to submit
- Fill out the form with your name, email, tool name, and link.
- Pitfalls & tips
- A directory of AI tools plus prompts, around 1,780 tools listed. Easy mistake: the "Submit" link in the nav is the prompt submission form. Tool submissions go through /submit-tool instead, and the two forms look nearly identical. It's free and the form is short — two minutes of work.
