F6S
A huge founder graph. Useful for applying to programs and looking like a real company. Weak as a consumer launch.
F6S is where a lot of accelerators still collect applications and where founders keep a public startup profile. Listing there is hygiene if you might apply to programs. It is not where consumers discover apps.

Submit-form directory with a large historic catalog. Traffic claims are self-reported. Use as a lasting listing, especially if you missed BetaPage.
PitchWall has taken startup submissions since the mid-2010s and absorbed BetaPage. The catalog is large. The submit flow is a form, not a 24-hour hunt. Self-reported traffic (hundreds of thousands of monthly visits) should be treated as a claim, not a forecast of what you will get.
