Is Tool Find Dir worth it?
A cheap, low effort listing if you are already collecting directory links and do not mind a badge in your footer. The dofollow link is not guaranteed: in a sample of 14 listings checked in November 2026, 6 linked dofollow and 8 nofollow, and some nofollow sites still carried the badge. Treat it as a small extra link, not a traffic source, and keep the badge up so the listing stays eligible.
Who should submit to Tool Find Dir?
Suits makers of AI tools, SaaS and developer products who want another free directory page and accept a badge requirement. The catalogue is mixed, with apps, local service businesses and consumer tools beside AI products, so it is a weak fit for anyone hoping to reach a focused technical audience. Skip it if you cannot place a badge on your site.
