SubmitMyStartupGitHub 14 websites · Curated from the public directory
All free submission options
Free can mean no payment, a months-long wait, or a badge on your own homepage. Here are all the free options in the directory, with the known conditions visible before you submit.

Why these sites are here
These directories and profiles list a free submission path, including Free* entries with substantial restrictions. I distinguish no known catches, free with a catch, and conditions not yet verified. A free form is not a guarantee of publication or visitors. Reddit communities remain separate.
I have recorded submissions for 8 of these 14 sites. Referral traffic is added after a listing is live and an observation window completes.
A free public resource for founders looking for places to get visibility and users, not only to share what they are building. Results describe this website, not every type of product.
