Directory Submission Cost Calculator

The Directory Submission Cost Calculator is a free planning tool for SaaS founders, marketers and small teams who want a clearer view of what directory submissions actually cost. It looks beyond listing fees and converts time spent on research, form filling and profile prep into a dollar figure so you can compare doing it yourself with hiring a submission service.

You can pick from preset campaign sizes — roughly 20, 60, 100 or 140+ directories — and tweak every input to match your situation. That includes how many free versus paid directories you’ll target, the average premium listing fee, time to complete each submission, and one-off effort to prepare descriptions, screenshots and other assets.

Outputs show the total DIY cost in hours and dollars, an estimated service cost, the likely hours required, and potential savings from outsourcing. It also produces a break-even point to help weigh opportunity cost against paying for someone else to handle submissions.

Key features:

• Customisable campaign sizes and directory counts
• Inputs for paid listing fees, submission and research time, and hourly rate
• Estimates for total DIY hours and costs, service cost and outsourcing savings
• Break-even analysis to compare options
