Submit your tool to ToolChase

ToolChase is a scored AI tool directory with reviews, alternatives and comparison pages. There is no free submission: new tools enter through a paid Editorial Review, a Featured Partner placement or a newsletter slot, arranged through an inquiry form.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link $300 review if selected, placements from $500

Is ToolChase worth it?

Only for funded AI products that want a scored, independent style review. $300 buys the review, not the verdict, and the advertise page says paid links are marked sponsored. Editorial links on unpaid pages checked are followed, but you cannot buy your way into that. If you go ahead, give product access so the review is hands-on, and use the review page as a citation rather than an SEO play.

Who should submit to ToolChase?

Suits AI products with a marketing budget that want a third-party review page and possible inclusion in comparison and alternatives pages. Not for indie makers on a small budget, non-AI software, or anyone wanting a quick self-serve listing.

What you need before you submit

  • An AI tool that fits the site's categories
  • An inquiry through the form on the advertise page
  • Editor selection before the $300 is charged
  • Product access if the editors ask for it

  1. Read the advertise page to pick Editorial Review, Featured Partner or newsletter

  3. Wait 1 to 2 business days for a reply on scope and timing
  4. Pay if selected and provide product access
  5. Review page goes live within 7 business days or a full refund
