Submit your tool to Appsy Tools

Appsy Tools is a software tools directory for work, design, marketing and developer software with category pages and listing pages at /tool/<slug>. Submission is free, but the listing form only opens after a crawler finds their badge on your site.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link Free, requires their badge on your site

Is Appsy Tools worth it?

Low value for SEO. Listings that came in through the badge flow had nofollow links in the November 2026 check, so you give a link and get a nofollow one back. Only a few older or featured listings had followed links. It costs nothing but time, so it can fill out a long directory list, but it should sit near the bottom. It runs on the same template and badge flow as productlistdir.com and beamtools.com.

Who should submit to Appsy Tools?

Fits makers of work, design, marketing and developer software who are working through a broad directory list and do not mind adding one more badge. It does not suit anyone looking for dofollow links, anyone who keeps badges off their site, or anyone hoping for real visitor traffic, since the site publishes no traffic figures and the feed is mixed with many unrelated consumer apps.

What you need before you submit

  • An account (Google or email)
  • Their badge on a page of your site, checked live
  • Screenshot (up to 10MB) and square icon (up to 5MB)
  • Short description up to 150 characters and an overview up to 1500
  • Up to 4 categories and a pricing model

  1. Sign in at appsytools.com
  2. Enter your product URL to generate a badge
