Submit your tool to BestTools

BestTools is a small AI tools directory with item pages and categories. Submission is paid only: fill the form, the site reviews it and emails a payment link, and Pro listings are published immediately or on a date you choose.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link $9.90 once (Pro) or $24.90 (Sponsor)

Is BestTools worth it?

Cheap, but check what you are buying. The pricing page promises at least 3 dofollow links, yet the Visit button on every listing checked in November 2026 had rel=nofollow noopener. Some descriptions contain plain links to the product with no rel, which are dofollow, and a few new listings showed no outbound link at all. Pay $9.90 only if a small AI directory page helps you, and ask the site to include links in your description text.

Who should submit to BestTools?

Suits makers of AI tools who want an inexpensive listing with fast publication and some newsletter and social promotion. Not a fit for non AI software, for anyone who needs a free listing, or for makers who mainly want a dofollow website button.
