Where to submit your app (and actually get found)
Not all directories are equal. Here's what separates a listing that distributes from a listing that rots.
Free to submit · Your own onlyfoundrs.com/your-app URL · No dead links
Most 'submit your app' lists send you into graveyards
Every founder eventually googles 'where to submit my app' and finds the same recycled listicle: 50 directories, half defunct, most with months-long review queues, several charging $99+ for 'featured' slots that deliver nothing. You spend a weekend submitting and get three links and zero users.

Start with the listing that works while you submit elsewhere
Your first submission should compound: a permanent indexed page, verified-live status, community ranking, and AI-driven routing to users showing relevant intent. Then go do the rest of the list — but at least one listing keeps working.
60-second submit
URL in, auto-filled details, published — not a 40-field form.
Compounding asset
Your page accumulates votes, comments, and search ranking over time.
Live distribution
Feeds, semantic search, and an AI agent actively routing users to you.
Free
The best ROI on this entire list is free. Pro accelerates for $5/mo.

FAQ
What should I look for in a submission directory?
Liveness verification (dead listings waste your slot), indexed pages (SEO value), active community (real upvotes), and distribution beyond the listing (feeds/search).
How many directories should I submit to?
Prioritize 5-10 quality ones over 50 low-quality. A verified, indexed, community-ranked listing beats twenty dead ones.
Do directory submissions still work in 2026?
Yes — but only where listings are permanent, indexed, and actively distributed. Static link-farms died years ago.
Is OnlyFoundrs free to submit to?
Yes — free permanent listing, or instant publish + dofollow backlink for $5/mo.
