## How we counted

- Source: the product directories and launch sites on our directory list, the same ones our team submits products to by hand. Directories we've taken off the list aren't counted.
- Domain Rating is Ahrefs' score from 0 to 100, last checked October 30, 2026.
- Price and link type come from our own submissions. A link type is "not confirmed yet" until a listing of ours goes live there, so the dofollow share is a floor, not an estimate.
- "Free to list" counts free directories and free ones that also sell upgrades. "Dofollow with a badge, a top 3 finish or enough votes" counts directories whose link is followed only on those terms.
- Shares are rounded to whole percentages, so they may not add up to exactly 100. The median is the middle value, rounded to a whole number.
- The page updates when the list changes.
