Is NewTool worth it?
Mainly a link, not an audience. The free plan gives a followed link but needs a permanent badge and can take up to 90 days, and the site says it unpublishes listings if the badge is removed. Basic at $14.90 lists at once with no badge. Worth it as one of a batch of small directory listings, not as a launch.
Who should submit to NewTool?
Suits makers of AI tools and SaaS who are building a set of directory links and can keep a badge on their site or pay a small one time fee. It does not suit anyone looking for users or feedback, since the site shows little sign of its own traffic.
