# Submit your tool to 1000 Tools

> 1000 Tools is a DirEasy launch site for general tools, pitched as a curated collection of the 1000 best tools, with a daily feed that goes live at 8:00 AM UTC and ranks by upvotes and comments. Free launches need their badge on your site; paid launches start at $9.90.

## Is 1000 Tools worth it?

Worth it as a cheap backlink, not as a source of users. The free lane gives a dofollow link once their badge is verified on your site, and $9.90 buys the same link without the badge and with an earlier date. Treat it as one of a family of DirEasy launch sites with shared audiences: submit with the same assets, keep the badge live, and do not expect meaningful traffic or sales from the launch day.

## Who should submit to 1000 Tools?

Suits indie makers of general software tools who want an inexpensive dofollow link and do not mind adding a badge. Its free lane is stricter than its siblings: a Domain Rating of at least 10 and a review window of up to 60 days. It does not suit teams looking for buyers or reviews from a distinct audience, products on a fresh domain below the DR threshold, or anyone who will not place a third-party badge on their site.

## What you need before you submit

- Account via Google, GitHub or email
- Live public URL
- Square logo and a landscape product image
- Short description, up to 3 categories, tech stack tags
- Their badge live on your site for the free lane
- Domain Rating of at least 10 for the free lane

## How to submit

1. Sign in and set your display name, since it is shown as the maker
2. Fill in name, URL, description, logo and product image
3. Pick categories, tags, platforms and pricing model
4. Choose Free Launch, add the badge snippet to your site and press Verify Backlink, or pick a paid plan
5. Pick a launch date and wait for review
6. Share the launch at 8:00 AM UTC to collect upvotes

## Pros

- Free lane gives a dofollow link once the badge is verified
- Paid launch from $9.90 skips the badge and the free queue
- Small daily cap, so a launch shows on the homepage for its day
- Form has an AI autofill that drafts fields from your URL

## Cons

- Free listing requires a live badge linking back to the site
- Free queue can take up to 60 days
- Free lane needs a Domain Rating of at least 10, which rules out brand new domains
- One of many near-identical DirEasy sites run by the same operator, so audiences overlap heavily
- Pages push link packages and DR boosting offers, which says more about the audience than about buyers

## Tips

- Put the badge on a page that stays live, such as the footer, since the link depends on it
- If you use several DirEasy sites, one badge block can hold all of them, but expect overlapping audiences
- Pay $9.90 only if the date matters; the free lane gives the same dofollow link
- Schedule far ahead to secure a free slot on a quiet day
