A maintained list of 1,432 directories, launch platforms, registries and marketplaces that accept product submissions. 1,134 of them are free or have a free tier, and 192 are quick wins — free, low effort, and worth doing first. Every row shows cost, effort and priority, and links straight to the submission page.
Create a valid Helm, OPA, Tekton or supported repository for your deployment and add it through the control panel.
Publish your standards-based JavaScript or TypeScript SDK with generated docs, readme and project links.
Create a useful Julia client or data utility, register it in Julia General and provide complete package docs with your source link.
Publish your open Privacy Framework mapping, template, tutorial, or implementation tool and submit it for repository review.
Build a genuine Kubernetes Operator for your self-hosted service, test its bundle and submit it through Community Operators.
Publish a secure, documented container for your open service and add its official site in the repository description or README where supported.
Import public your tool developer documentation, add the build config and expose versioned, searchable docs with canonical project links.
Behind the list
Every row here starts as a line in a sheet, gets normalised into one of 15 groups, scored for cost, effort and impact, and written up with the steps to actually submit. The floor below represents that pipeline.

One-shot launches where timing and preparation decide the outcome.
Fast-growing listings specifically for AI-powered tools.
Extension, plugin and integration stores. Real review processes, real distribution.
Startup listings, beta lists and founder media.
General tool and software catalogues with real search traffic.
B2B review sites. Slow to approve, strong once live.
Package, image and docs hosting that carries real authority.
Showcases judged on craft. A good screenshot matters more than copy.
Write once, link back. Editorial standards vary widely.
Get quoted or distribute a release. Slower, higher ceiling.
Company and local listings. Unglamorous, consistently indexed.
Owned pages you control: company, founder, knowledge-panel entities.
Answer real questions. Never drop a bare link.
Brand surface and referral traffic more than link equity.
Everything that does not fit the buckets above.
