691 active startup directories, each graded 0–100.
We maintain a worldwide catalog of startup, SaaS and app directories and grade every one on a transparent, deterministic 0–100 scale — citation value first, then how reliably a real listing can actually be delivered. No black box: the same directory always produces the same score, and every point is attributable.
1,155 directories catalogued in total · 729 active · 426 retired. A daily health check probes every active directory and retires the ones that have gone dead or parked, so the active number is the one we will actually submit to. We publish both rather than only the flattering one.
How the catalog grades out
94 directories have verified authority data today; the rest are graded conservatively from the signals we do have and marked estimated until their domain rating is enriched — so nothing is ever scored higher than the evidence supports.
The methodology
Five weighted components sum to 100. Authority carries the most weight because a citation from a low-authority directory is worth little — but a directory you can never actually get listed on is worth nothing, so delivery counts too. Missing signals score conservatively and never optimistically.
Domain rating, dofollow status and traffic — the real citation value of a listing.
How broad an audience it reaches: languages, market, and categorisation.
How frictionless a real submission is — free vs paid, captcha, account, email verification.
How reliably our agent can deliver a listing there (tier + execution mode).
Recent real-world success and how fresh our last verification is.
