Is AI Tool Center worth it?
A low effort listing for AI tools: the form is short and most listing pages checked carried a dofollow link. The free lane costs a permanent footer link, and one listing checked had been switched to nofollow, which suggests the link can be downgraded if the condition is not met. The $9.90 one time plan removes the footer link requirement and is the cleaner choice. The homepage still describes itself as a 2024 directory, so expect little traffic.
Who should submit to AI Tool Center?
Suits makers of consumer and prosumer AI tools who want an extra directory link at little cost. It is not a fit for non-AI software, or for founders who will not add a reciprocal footer link. Do not expect meaningful referral traffic; the value is mostly the link.
