## Is Awesome Tools worth it?

Good value for established products. The link is followed and the site covers known tools like Linear and Raycast, but the free path asks for DR 20, 30 referring domains, 200 monthly visits or 100 keywords, plus a visible link to awesome.tools. A new product will usually fail that bar, so the choice is $49 or wait. If you already have some authority, take the free path; it also offers a submission API and MCP server for agents.

## Who should submit to Awesome Tools?

Suits software with some existing traffic and links, and makers willing to pay $49 for a reviewed listing with a followed link. Not for brand new or pre launch products on the free path, for sites hosted on preview domains, or for non English products, which its checks reject.
