Describe a niche in your AI chat. DirectoryFast researches it, designs the listing fields, fills them in, and puts an indexable directory site online, on its own domain if you want.
It's a multi-tenant SaaS with 49 MCP tools over OAuth 2.1: niche research, schema design, bulk listings, categories, collections, submissions, blog posts, analytics, custom domains, and a paid leaderboard where listings bid for placement. English and French out of the box.
It started as a $197 Next.js template that sold. The hosted version hasn't, yet.
Where it could go
Three directions a buyer could take it, and what each one changes for the business.
Go back to the template
Sell the codebase again as a one-time boilerplate: an MCP-driven directory starter at $149–299.
For the business: It's the model that already made money here. Cash on every sale, no hosting to babysit, distribution through X, Product Hunt and boilerplate lists. No MRR, by design.
Directories as a service
Use the MCP pipeline in-house to ship done-for-you directories for clients: local SEO, B2B lead lists, communities.
For the business: Service revenue of $1–3k per build plus hosting. Higher tickets and faster cash, but it grows with your hours, not your signups.
Run a portfolio
Keep the platform for yourself and spin up twenty niche directories, earning from featured placements (the paid leaderboard is already built) and affiliate links.
For the business: The SaaS becomes an internal tool and you own the assets. Expect six to twelve months of SEO before it pays.
