I’ve recently been looking for directories that allow you to connect with prospective customers, build some links, and add exposure to an app pre-launch. I have found some similar lists elsewhere, but typically a lot of the sites in the list are spammy or gone forever.
This is a current list of sites I’ve found for building an email list before you launch. Leave me a comment to add or remove a site and I will keep this list current.
Some of these sites require your app to be launched or in beta, but most could accept it in either state. Quite of few of these sites will accept small to medium sized payments in exchange for an expedited review or posting. A few of these sites are explicitly about advertising.

Thanks for the very comprehensive list, Robert.
It looks like most the resources are aimed at web apps or phone apps.
Are you aware of any good resources for Windows applications as well?
Thanks.
Andrea
Hi Andrea,
I know several of those in the list will handle a Windows application, but I don’t have a specific listing. If you have suggestions to add or a group of the sites to call out for supporting Windows submissions I’d be happy to highlight it.
Thanks!
Hi Robert,
Thanks for including GetApp!
Thanks for adding The Startup pitch, We are actually working on a new feature that called the Beta Pitch for people looking for early signups.
Thanks, Darren.
Nice list. FYI, I just ran across this Quora question. There are some new ones listed here as well. Perhaps you could add some to your list?
