Yes — every directory listed here accepts Startup products at no cost. Some may have optional paid tiers for featured placement or faster review, but the base submission is free. You can build a strong backlink profile for your Startup product without spending anything on directory submissions.
Prioritize by Domain Rating (DR) — the higher the DR, the more link equity the directory passes to your domain. Within the same DR range, prefer dofollow links over nofollow, and instant approval over manual review. This order maximizes both SEO impact and speed.
