Submitting your app to the right directories is still one of the highest-ROI growth activities for founders. Each listing is a backlink, a comparison surface and a discovery channel. This is the working list we maintain at AppGeoList, ordered by Domain Rating (DR).

Launchigniter (75), IndiePa.ge (67), StartupStash (66), Navs.site (66), Yo.directory (63), Sprout24 (61), SubmissionWebDirectory (62), ShowMySites (65). These send less raw traffic but convert well because audiences are targeted.

How we rank these: Domain Rating from Ahrefs-style metrics, plus manual assessment of submission friction, review quality and whether listings are indexed by Google. See our rankings page for the live leaderboard.

How to submit efficiently

  1. Prepare once: name, one-line tagline, 2–3 sentence description, logo (512px), 2 screenshots, category, pricing, founder email.
  2. Start free & instant: AppGeoList first, then the directories above.
  3. Track in a spreadsheet: site, date submitted, status, live URL, DR, referral clicks.
  4. Revisit monthly: update screenshots, respond to reviews, claim unclaimed listings.
