Is Dirs.cc worth it?
Worth it if a dofollow link matters to you and you can either wait or spend $9.90. The free plan works, but the pricing page warns of a 180+ day queue and possible rejection when free slots run out, and it expects you to keep a link back to dirs.cc. The $9.90 Listing plan is the practical choice: same dofollow links, published immediately, no link back. Skip the $19.90 Featured plan unless 7 days at the top of the list is worth that to you.
Who should submit to Dirs.cc?
Suits makers of AI tools, SaaS and web utilities who want a permanent dofollow link from a general directory. Most recent listings are AI image, video and productivity tools, so the browsing audience leans toward AI tool hunters. Not a good fit if you need launch day traffic or a fast free listing, since the free queue is measured in months.
