Is AI Tool Trek worth it?
Worth it for AI products if you are comfortable keeping a plain text link to aitooltrek.com on your homepage, since the listing page link was dofollow in every listing checked. The free lane is slow (up to 15 days) and the listing is removed if your link goes. Pay the $19.90 Fast Track only if you want to skip the queue; the $39.90 a month plan only makes sense for agencies submitting many tools.
Who should submit to AI Tool Trek?
Suits makers of AI tools of any kind, from image and video generators to writing assistants and business apps. It is not a fit for software without an AI angle, and it is a poor fit for founders who do not want a reciprocal link on their homepage. Most traffic comes from people browsing AI tools by category, not from developers or B2B buyers.
