Submit your tool to FeaturedTool

FeaturedTool.com is a curated directory of online tools, mostly AI products. You sign in, fill a listing form with an icon and a 16:9 image, then pick a free plan that waits in a long queue or a paid plan that publishes right away.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free with a backlink, or $9.9 once

Is FeaturedTool worth it?

Worth it for AI and SaaS makers who want a cheap dofollow link. The free plan is slow: the pricing card says 180+ days at the current pace and that free entries may be rejected for limited slots. If the link matters, the $9.9 listing plan is the practical choice, since it publishes immediately and needs no backlink. Prepare a clean 1:1 icon and a 16:9 image before you start.

Who should submit to FeaturedTool?

Suits AI tools, SaaS products and small indie web apps, which make up most of the listings. Less useful for products outside AI and productivity, for mobile-only apps, and for anyone who needs a listing within a few weeks without paying.
