## Is 1000.tools directory worth it?

A good pick for a working SaaS or AI tool that can afford a small monthly fee, since the link is dofollow and the list is curated and capped. Several founders quoted on the signup page call it a top traffic source, which is unusual for a directory, but those are the site's own testimonials. The listing is rented, so budget for it as an ongoing cost. Try the $1 first month and keep it only if referrals show up in analytics.

## Who should submit to 1000.tools directory?

Suits makers of working software tools, SaaS, AI apps, developer APIs and browser extensions who want steady referral traffic and do not mind a subscription. Not a fit for infoproducts, which the checklist rules out, for unfinished products, or for anyone who wants a one-time payment.
