Submit your tool to Toolhunter

Toolhunter is a curated directory of AI tools with editor written listings, pricing notes and comparisons. Listing is free after sign in, and verifying its badge on your site turns the listing link into a followed link and adds you to its Verified wall.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free; badge needed for followed links

Is Toolhunter worth it?

One of the better free options for an AI product. Pages are written by an editor and include pricing, and the badge earns two followed links: one from the listing and one from the Verified wall. In November 2026, listings without the verified badge had rel nofollow, so the badge is what makes it worth doing. Have exact pricing ready, since the site checks prices at checkout.

Who should submit to Toolhunter?

Suits makers of AI products with a working app and public pricing, such as writing, video, sales, support or developer tools. It does not suit non AI software, products still behind a waitlist, or anyone unwilling to place a badge, since unverified listings get a nofollow link.

What you need before you submit

  • An account, by Google or email and password
  • A working AI product with clear pricing
  • The Toolhunter badge on your site for followed links
  • Logo, screenshot and a short one line description
