Is Finetools worth it?
Only relevant if your product is an AI generator or editor that fits one of its 17 categories. For most makers the cost is $9.90, since the free route needs a domain older than 3 months, more than 30,000 visits last month and a text link on your homepage. The outbound link is followed. Submit a dedicated feature page, which matches how the site lists tools.
Who should submit to Finetools?
