Is AiIndex.tools worth it?
A cheap, low effort followed link for AI and SaaS products. The free plan is fine if you already keep a badges or featured-on section; otherwise $9.9 once removes the backlink requirement. The catalog is small (the site says 184+ tools), so expect little referral traffic. Skip the $19.9 sponsor slot unless you see real traffic numbers first.
Who should submit to AiIndex.tools?
Suits makers of AI tools and SaaS products who want followed links and a dated launch at low cost. Not a fit for non software products or for anyone expecting launch day traffic or a large audience.
