## Is Acid Tools worth it?

Worth a try only if you can place a badge and accept an unclear link. In November 2026 the rel values were mixed: 38 of 41 links on the Latest page, including the newest listings, had rel="nofollow", while many older and featured listings had a followed link. No public pricing or policy page explains the difference. Submit if your product is an AI or automation tool, keep the badge up, and recheck your listing after a few weeks.

## Who should submit to Acid Tools?

Suits makers of AI tools, automation tools, chatbots and browser extensions who can edit their homepage to add a badge. Not a fit for products that are not software, since the categories are all tool focused, or for anyone who wants a guaranteed followed link, since recent listings were nofollow when checked.
