# Launch Directories Tracker

> A curated list of launch platforms, AI directories, SaaS listings and communities, with a tracker to mark each one submitted or live.

```yaml
url: "https://ailaunch.dev/tools/launch-directories"
slug: launch-directories
category: launch
keywords: "launch directories, startup directories, ai directories, submit ai tool, product hunt alternatives, directory submission list"
```

## How to use

1. **Filter the list** - By type (launch platform, AI directory, SaaS, community, review) and price.
2. **Submit and mark it** - Open the directory, submit, set the status to submitted.
3. **Come back and mark live** - Approvals take days to weeks; flip each to live once it's listed.

## Why submit to directories

Each listing is a page that can rank for your product name, a referral source, and a mention AI assistants pick up when they answer "what tools do X". Spreading submissions over a few weeks keeps visitors coming after launch-day traffic fades.

Start with the free launch platforms and AI directories that match your audience, then the SaaS and review sites that rank for "alternatives" and "best X" searches.

## What you get

- 65+ hand-picked directories and communities
- Filter by type, price and status
- Submission tracker saved in your browser
- No signup

## FAQ

### Do I need all of them?

No. Ten well-matched directories beat fifty random ones. Filter to your audience and skip the rest.

### Are paid listings worth it?

Only where the audience matches. Start free, check referral traffic with UTM links, then decide.

### Is my progress stored on your server?

No, only in your browser's local storage.
