Submit your tool to ToolFame

ToolFame is a general online tools directory across 33 categories. Free listings need a permanent badge and a site with Ahrefs DR 10 or more, while paid one-time plans skip the badge and are listed immediately.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free with badge and DR 10+, or $19.9 / $49.9 once

Is ToolFame worth it?

Reasonable for a cheap dofollow link if you pay. On free listings checked, only the text title link was followed while the main buttons were nofollow, which matches the stated 1 dofollow link. The free path is slow (up to 180 days), needs DR 10 and a permanent badge, so new sites cannot use it. The $19.9 Basic plan is the practical choice for makers who want the link without a badge.

Who should submit to ToolFame?

Suits makers of web tools, AI apps and SaaS who want a quick, low-cost directory link. Brand new domains below DR 10 cannot use the free plan. Not a source of meaningful community feedback; it is a listing directory, not a launch event.

What you need before you submit

  • Free plan: Ahrefs DR of at least 10

  • Paid plans: one-time payment, no badge

  1. Sign in on the submit page
  2. Choose Free, Basic or Pro on the pricing page
  3. For Free, add the badge to your site before submitting
  4. Fill in the product details
  5. Wait for review, or go live at once on a paid plan

Tips for ToolFame
