Submit your tool to Dev Tools Dir

Dev Tools Dir is a directory and launch feed for developer tools, APIs, SDKs and backend services built on the DirEasy platform. Projects launch in a daily feed at 8:00 AM UTC with a capped number of free and paid slots, and are ranked by upvotes and comments.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free with a badge, or $9.90 per launch

Is Dev Tools Dir worth it?

Worth it mainly for a dofollow link, not for traffic. The free lane needs the devtoolsdir.com badge on your site and a domain rating of at least 1, then waits up to 30 days. Paying $9.90 skips the queue. It is one of many near-identical DirEasy sites, so treat it as one link, not a new audience. Add the badge to a footer or a press page, submit, and keep the badge in place.

Who should submit to Dev Tools Dir?

Suits indie makers and small SaaS teams who want a cheap dofollow backlink and do not mind showing a badge. Developer tools fit its stated focus best, though the feed also lists general SaaS and AI products. It does not suit products that need real users or buyers, since most visitors are other makers, and it does not suit anyone who will not place a third-party badge on their site.

What you need before you submit

  • A live public website with a domain rating of at least 1
  • An account (Google, GitHub or email)
  • A square logo and a landscape product image
  • The site badge placed on your website for the free plan

How to submit to Dev Tools Dir

  1. Sign up on devtoolsdir.com
  2. Open Submit Project and fill in name, URL, description, logo and image
  3. Pick categories and a launch date
  4. Add the badge to your site and run the backlink check, or pay for Premium
  5. Wait for the 8:00 AM UTC launch on your date
