Is Hunt for Tools worth it?
Low value as a link source right now. In November 2026, 13 of the 15 newest listings checked carried rel nofollow, including sites that show the badge. It shares its software and submit flow with aigc160.com, so if you already did one, the other takes a few minutes. Submit only if you keep a badges page and want one more category listing.
Who should submit to Hunt for Tools?
Suits makers of productivity, marketing, design, AI and developer tools who want a basic listing and can place a badge. It is a quiet directory without launch mechanics, so it does not suit founders looking for feedback, upvotes or a traffic spike. Not a good choice if your goal is a followed link.
