## Is ToolDirs worth it?

A reasonable pick for a quick followed link. The Visit link on product pages had no rel attribute in November 2026, so it is followed. The free lane asks for a dofollow badge in your site footer and a 48 hour review. If a footer badge is not an option, $9.99 once removes it. Write a real 500+ character description, since the form enforces the minimum and the page also shows text generated by ChatGPT.

## Who should submit to ToolDirs?

Suits makers of AI tools, SaaS products and developer tools who can add a footer badge or spend $9.99 for a followed link and a page in a mid-sized catalogue. Less useful if you expect real traffic from it, or if your product is not software, since the categories are tool focused. Featured slots are paid and monthly.
