What is in this list

Destinations that want money before they publish.

Every directory-submission service quotes a number of destinations. Some of that number is behind a paywall, and whose money pays it is rarely stated up front. These are the ones that charge.

They are not excluded — several are worth paying for, and a few are the only way into a platform's own marketplace. They are separated so that a run can be planned around a budget instead of discovering one mid-submission. We stop and ask before spending anything.

What this page leaves out

Free listings that merely sell an upgrade — those stay on the free list.

How this list is built

Merged from eight public datasets plus entries we added by hand, de-duplicated on registrable domain, then loaded one by one: we open each submission page ourselves rather than trusting a source list.

  • A destination is here if it charges for the listing itself or gates publication behind a payment — not if it merely sells an upgrade.
  • Destinations that are free to list and paid to feature stay on the free list, marked conditional free.
  • We never pay one of these without asking the customer first, whatever the amount.

Using the filters

Search by name or domain, narrow by category, tier and access, and re-sort by Domain Rating, name or when a destination was added. Columns: Domain Rating, link type, platform.

How often it is refreshed

Every submission URL is re-probed daily — last check 2026-09-23. Dead pages drop off, recoveries go back on, and Domain Rating is re-read quarterly. The full record is on what changed.

Who this is for

Anyone setting a budget. We stop and ask before spending anything.

Questions

Are paid directories a scam?

Mostly no, mostly not worth it. Paying moves you up a page; it does not create the audience that would make the page matter.

Which paid ones are actually worth it?

Platform marketplaces where your customers already are — an ecommerce or CRM app store — and occasionally a category-defining review site. Almost never a general directory's featured slot.

Does the package price cover these?

No. Our plans cover submission and verification. Any fee a destination charges is yours to approve, and we surface it before it is spent.

Domain Rating is Ahrefs data, fetched per domain and refreshed quarterly (licence).

Pollendo submits to these for you, chases the confirmations, and verifies each listing logged-out at day 7, 14 and 30. You pay for listings that are live, not for submissions sent.
