Honestly, I’ve not known anyone that has gotten much traction from the smaller start up directories to the point where I wouldn’t recommend worrying about posting there unless you really need backlinks for SEO

I have heard great things from Betalist. But never used one of those services you mentioned

Yeah, I had posted across several lower tier directories. Not great for conversion or large volume of traffic but helped with discoverability

Personally I would say if you have the time, do it. They may not result in direct traffic but sometimes picked up by other newsletters. For example, my product http://Resumey.Pro|Resumey.Pro was picked up by some Russian and some UI design related newsletters. It’s just about making your product more visible but don’t have high hopes from them
