Submit your tool to MavTools

A WordPress directory of SaaS, apps and AI tools for creators, solopreneurs and founders, sorted by category, pricing type and platform. Submitting goes through listing plans that are only visible after you sign in.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Listing plans shown only after sign-in

Is MavTools worth it?

Hard to judge before you commit, because the listing plans and prices are hidden behind an account. The terms talk about listing fees and a refund if a tool is rejected, so expect to pay. The main Visit button on listing pages had no rel attribute, so it passes a followed link. Worth it for a business-facing SaaS or AI tool if the price turns out to be small; check the plan before paying, since approved listings are not refundable.

Who should submit to MavTools?

Suits SaaS, AI and productivity tools aimed at creators, solopreneurs and small business owners, the audience the homepage names. Recent listings lean heavily toward AI video and writing tools. It is a poor fit for consumer apps, games, or makers who want to see the price before creating an account.

What you need before you submit

  • An account: Google sign-in, or username and password
  • A live product URL
  • A chosen listing plan (plans shown after sign-in)

How to submit to MavTools

  1. Open mavtools.com/list-my-tool/, which redirects to /listing-plans/
  2. Sign in with Google or create a username and password account
  3. Pick a listing plan and fill in the tool details
  4. Wait for approval; a rejected paid listing gets a full refund, per the refund policy
