Submit your tool to Toolify

Toolify is a large AI tools directory with tens of thousands of listed tools sorted into hundreds of categories. A $99 one-time submission lists an AI tool within 48 hours, with content and translations generated by Toolify or written by the maker.

Is Toolify worth it?

Expensive for a single listing, but one of the few AI directories where the size claims point to real traffic, and the listing links are marked followed. Worth it for a funded or revenue-making AI product that fits a clear category; less so for a side project. Write the description yourself if precise wording matters, and pick categories carefully since visibility depends on browsing.

Who should submit to Toolify?

Suits AI tools, AI SaaS and GPT style products that want long term discovery from people browsing AI categories. It does not suit non-AI software, makers with no budget, or anyone wanting a launch day spike and community feedback.
