How we calculate
Doing it yourself: submitting to 100 directories takes about 15 to 20 hours, mostly filling in forms, creating accounts and saving proof. We scale that with the number of directories in the plan, multiply by the hourly value you enter, and show the range.
SubmitRocket: the one-time price of the plan, read from our current plans. Credits never expire.
The difference is the do-it-yourself cost minus the plan price. A positive number means the plan costs less than your time at that hourly value.
What this does not include
- Your time estimate is an average. A product that is fully prepared, with text and images ready, takes less time.
- It leaves out the learning curve, and the fees some directories charge for paid listings.
- It says nothing about results. Listings depend on each directory's decision, and no service can promise rankings.
