I strongly recommend the manual submission as there is in fact no alternative to manual directory submission. If you purchase software for automated submission just because to submit hundreds of directories in short time then it may cause a penalty. Submission to all the directories doesn’t guarantee a top position ranking on the search engines. Always do manual submission for Quality resources.
