Listing Bott alternative
The Listing Bott alternative that hands you the list instead of the bill
Listing Bott auto-submits your startup to 100+ directories for $299–999. DR Launcher does the opposite: for a one-time $69.99 we give you the tested map of 50+ paid directories that actually pass DR value, and you submit yourself in minutes. No service markup, no per-product pricing, no reciprocal links.
Best Listing Bott alternatives in 2026
Listing Bott is a solid done-for-you tool, but it's not the only way to build directory backlinks — and for most funded SaaS founders it's the most expensive. The alternatives split into two camps: other managed services (GetMoreBacklinks, SubmitSaaS, AutoSaaSLaunch) that submit for you at a premium, and the do-it-yourself list approach that DR Launcher pioneered. If you want control, a one-time price, and transparency about exactly which directories you're paying for, the list wins.

Why founders pick DR Launcher over Listing Bott
You pay once, not per launch
Listing Bott pricing is tied to a campaign. DR Launcher is $69.99 once — reuse the same list for your next product, your side project, and your clients.
You see the DR before you spend
Every directory shows live Ahrefs DR, pricing, and whether it needs a badge. You spend your submission budget on the highest-value links first.
Tested, not scraped
We manually submitted to 200+ directories and kept the 50+ that actually index and pass value. No spam directories that could earn you a penalty.
A real guarantee
Submit to at least 10 listed directories and see no Ahrefs DR increase within 90 days? We'll refund your DR Launcher purchase.
Where Listing Bott is the better choice
We're not going to pretend DR Launcher wins for everyone. Listing Bott is genuinely better if:
- You don't want to lift a finger. Listing Bott actually does the submissions for you. With DR Launcher you do them yourself — budget 10–15 minutes per directory.
- You want maximum raw coverage. Listing Bott pushes to 100+ directories. We deliberately keep ~50 vetted ones, so if your goal is sheer link volume, they cover more.
- You're submitting many products and value automation. An agency running dozens of launches a month may find the automation pays for itself in time saved.

Listing Bott alternative — FAQ
Is DR Launcher cheaper than Listing Bott?
Yes. Listing Bott is a done-for-you service that runs from roughly $299 to $999. DR Launcher is a one-time $69.99 purchase for the tested directory list, which you keep for life and reuse across every site you own. You still pay each directory's own $19–99 fee, but you skip the service markup.
Does DR Launcher submit my site for me like Listing Bott does?
No — and that's the deliberate difference. Listing Bott automates the submissions for you. DR Launcher gives you the vetted map of where to submit and you do the (few-minute) submission yourself, keeping full control of your listing copy. That's why it costs a fraction of a managed service.
How many directories do I get with DR Launcher vs Listing Bott?
Listing Bott advertises 100+ directories. DR Launcher curates 50+ — but only the ones that survived testing for indexing, dofollow value, and no reciprocal-badge requirement. We reject roughly 150 directories for every 50 we keep. Quality over raw count.
Will I actually reach DR 20?
If you submit to at least 10 listed directories and your Ahrefs DR does not increase within 90 days, we refund your DR Launcher purchase. Listing Bott offers its own SEO guarantee on higher tiers; ours is built into the $69.99 product.
