A directory submission service and listing platform for founders promoting software products.
A directory submission service and listing platform for founders promoting software products. In the August 6, 2026 interview, Chiriac says he built the product himself and describes working as a solo founder. Service fulfillment staffing and current headcount are not established.
Customers pay for managed submission packages and related listing or promotional services; the historical product income is not presented as subscription revenue.
Source-linked product facts, followed by MRRTrace analysis of the customer problem, workflow, trade-offs and questions to test.
AI Directories serves founders who want their products listed on relevant directories without completing every submission themselves. The official site offers managed submission packages, and the pricing page describes reports on submitted listings. Editorial interpretation: the buyer pays for organized delivery of a repetitive launch task. The opportunity is strongest when the provider can identify suitable destinations, prepare accurate information and show what was actually completed.
The submission packages are priced as one-time purchases, with different coverage and included third-party fees. Editorial hypothesis: assess contribution per completed customer order after research, submission work, support and external charges. A small operator should track the time spent on exceptions, because unusual requirements can dominate fulfillment cost. For the buyer, compare hours saved and relevant accepted listings with the package price. Traffic quality and eventual conversions require separate measurement; a large count of submissions is not itself a business outcome.
Observed channels and entry points; their performance is not inferred.
Chiriac describes using the service for his own launches and expanding the offer for the same founder audience; no causal acquisition estimate is established.
