Submit your tool to toollist.ai

An AI tools directory with daily launches: you pick a launch day at least 48 hours ahead, pay once, and the tool goes live at 00:00 UTC on that date with a permanent page, votes and comments.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link $29 once (Starter) or $49 once (Boost)

Is toollist.ai worth it?

Reasonable for an AI product that wants a dated launch day and a permanent page, but treat it as a paid listing, not an SEO buy: the outbound links checked in November 2026 were rel=noopener nofollow. Starter at $29 is enough for most; Boost at $49 only makes sense if you plan to push your launch day yourself, since the sponsored card rotates with other sponsors for 14 days.

Who should submit to toollist.ai?

Suits makers of AI products, from solo developers to small startups, who want a launch slot on a small, curated-looking directory (the site says 1,226 tools are listed). Not for non-AI software, for makers with no budget, or for anyone buying a listing mainly for a followed backlink.

  • Up to 3 categories
