Submit your tool to Toolfio

Toolfio is a SaaS and AI tools directory with a little over 400 listings. Paid listings go live instantly from $18.99, and a free listing is possible if your site has DR 20 or more and keeps a Featured on badge.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free with a badge and DR 20+, or $18.99 once

Is Toolfio worth it?

A reasonable pick for a backlink, since the main link was dofollow on every listing checked and the site says its domain rating is 63. The free route needs DR 20 and a permanent badge, and the queue was long, so new sites will pay or skip it. Premium at $18.99 is a fair one time price for a followed link with no badge. Expect little direct traffic.

Who should submit to Toolfio?

Suits SaaS, AI and developer tool makers who want a followed link and an indexable listing page. Brand new domains below DR 20 cannot use the free plan. Not for crypto, gambling, adult products, link farms or unfinished landing pages, which the guidelines reject.
