Overview
Every launch guide says "submit to directories". None of them say which ones accept your kind of product, what the form will ask, or what actually happens after you hit submit. SubmitMap is that missing map.
Every platform is a typed record: who it accepts, what disqualifies you, the exact submission steps, expected approval time and whether the backlink is dofollow. The route organises it all into seven phases, from getting launch-ready to the paid channels you should only open last.
Key features
- A directory of launch platforms, each carrying its eligibility rules, submission steps, gotchas and approval time.
- A phased route of guides, from getting launch-ready to your first hundred users.
- Qualification checks that tell you which platforms would reject you before you sign up for anything.
- Curated lists: dofollow backlinks, fast approvals, free directories, no badge needed, open source, and alternatives to Product Hunt, BetaList and Indie Hackers.
- An MCP server, so your AI agent works out what you qualify for and fills the forms in your own browser while you watch.
Use cases
Indie hackers and solo founders planning a launch, makers who want the submission order decided for them rather than guessed, and anyone handing the repetitive part of a launch to an AI agent.
Getting started
Browse the directory, or start at phase one of the route. Reading the directory, the guides and the qualification checks needs no account.
Pricing and plans
Freemium. The directory, guides and qualification checks are free and need no account. The dashboard and MCP are $29/month, $190/year or $250 once. No paid placement, ever: editorial usefulness is the whole moat.
