Submit by Hand
Manual submission of your product to 100+ startup, SaaS, and AI directories, with screenshot proof for every submission.
About Submit by Hand
Submit by Hand is a manual directory submission service: after you paste your product URL, the service writes your directory listing copy, selects matching startup, SaaS, and AI directories, and over 2–3 weeks fills out forms, confirms emails, and submits your product one by one, saving a screenshot of each submission. You receive a real-time report containing submission screenshots, dates, listing links, and login credentials for each directory, with CSV export support. The official site explains that only directories offering free submission options are used, and paid listings will not be purchased on your behalf; the one-time payment covers all costs, and optional paid upgrades offered by some directories will not be purchased on your behalf either. Whether and when each directory publishes your listing is up to the directory itself; the official site explicitly states it cannot guarantee listing results, rankings, or domain rating numbers.
Best for
Best use cases
Batch-submitting a new product to startup, SaaS, and AI directories before launch to gain exposure
Wanting proof of manual submissions (screenshots, dates, links) rather than automated bulk submission
Not wanting to register accounts, fill out forms, and confirm emails one by one yourself
Compare before choosing
The official comparison page states: ListingBott's directory list is not public, delivery takes about a month, 100 directories cost $299 (listed as a launch-period price, later $399/$499/$999), and the sales page states that list packages are non-refundable; Submit by Hand offers 100 directories for $249 with delivery in 2–3 weeks, providing screenshots, dates, links and login credentials for each directory, with refunds for unfulfilled portions.
The official comparison page states: if you want the lowest price, consider SubmitWell ($59) or Submitator ($79); if you want speed, consider SubmitSaaS (48 hours).
