Introducing DirectoryHunter
A free, curated directory of every directory, launch platform and leaderboard — with no promoted listings.
DirectoryHunter Team · · 1 min read

Every maker eventually hits the same wall: you've built the thing, and now you need people to see it. So you search for "places to launch my startup" and find a dozen spreadsheets, half of them years out of date, full of dead links and sites that quietly started charging.
DirectoryHunter fixes that. It's a living directory of directories, launch platforms and leaderboards, all searchable and filterable by the things that actually matter when you're deciding where to submit:
- Submission pricing — free, freemium or paid (and from how much)
- Domain rating — so you can prioritise the listings that move the needle
- Backlink type — whether the site gives a dofollow link
- Review time — how long you'll wait to go live
Free, and staying that way
Listing your site on DirectoryHunter is free. Browsing is free. There are no promoted listings and no pay-to-rank.
We keep the lights on with exactly four sponsor slots — a small, clearly labelled widget on each page. That's it. If you'd like one, see Advertise.
Run a directory?
Submit it. Every submission is reviewed by a human, and verified owners get a badge and a followed link.
Happy hunting. 🎯
Frequently asked questions
- Is DirectoryHunter free?
- Yes. Browsing and listing your directory are both free. The only paid product is one of four sponsor slots, which never affects how listings are ranked.
- Who can submit a listing?
- Anyone who runs a directory, launch platform or leaderboard can create an account and submit it. A moderator reviews each submission before it goes live.
- How are listings ranked?
- By recency, domain rating, name or search relevance — whichever you choose. Payment never influences ranking.
- What does the verified badge mean?
- A verified listing has been confirmed by the DirectoryHunter team. Verified listings also receive a followed (dofollow) link.
