192 places to submit your app in 2026
The whole catalogue rather than the ten we like. 89 are free, 22 are rated DR 80 or above, and most of the value is in the first afternoon.

There are a lot of these lists. Most of them are padded: dead domains, link farms Google discounted a decade ago, and the same forty entries copied between blogs since 2019. This one is the catalogue behind our directories page, which is 192 places including us, each with the source list's own Domain Rating and its own pricing.
We are number one on it because it is our list. That is not a ranking claim, and the DR column says plainly that ours is 30 while SourceForge is 92. Read the numbers, not the order.
What the 192 actually break down into
| Count | |
|---|---|
| Free to list | 89 |
| Freemium, so a free tier with paid placement above it | 85 |
| Paid only | 18 |
| Rated DR 80 or higher | 22 |
| Passing a followed link, per the source list | 185 |
Two things worth reading twice. Only 22 of 192 are rated DR 80 or above, so most of a list like this is long-tail by construction. And 103 of them want money somewhere, whether that is a paid tier or paid-only entry, which is the part these roundups usually leave out.
How to work through it
Do not do all 192. Nobody has ever finished one of these lists and most of the value is in the first afternoon.
- Take the free ones with DR 70 or above first. That is a short list and it is where the ranking credit is.
- Write the description once. Every one of these asks for roughly the same 200 characters. Write it properly once and paste it 30 times. There is a guide to that.
- Skip anything asking for a reciprocal link. A link you paid for with a link is a link scheme, and it is the one thing on this page that can actively hurt you.
- Stop when the returns stop. Around entry 40 the DR column falls off a cliff. Below that you are spending an hour for a link nobody will crawl.
Does any of this still work
Partly. A directory link is worth less than it was in 2019 and more than the "directories are dead" posts claim. The honest version is in do directory submissions still work, and the question of which links pass credit at all is in dofollow vs nofollow.
The one thing that has changed is who reads them. Language models are trained on and retrieve from exactly this kind of structured listing, which is why a listing now does something it did not do three years ago. That is covered in getting your app cited by AI.
The full list
Sorted by the source list's Domain Rating, highest first, with us at the top because it is our list. None of these numbers are measured by us: they come from the catalogue this was collected from on 4 September 2026, and they move.
Every row here is a live link on the directories page, which is sortable by DR and by backlink strength.
