## 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.

## What you need before you submit

- An AI-powered product with a working site
- A free account (email and password)
- Name, website and tagline; a screenshot is captured from the URL
- Up to 3 categories
- A one-time payment of $29 or $49

## How to submit

1. Create a free account
2. Fill in name, website and tagline and pick up to 3 categories
3. Choose a launch date, 48 hours from now at the earliest
4. Pick Starter or Boost and pay with Stripe
5. Wait for the review email, then go live at 00:00 UTC on your date

## Pros

- One-time price, no subscription
- You choose your launch date
- Full refund if rejected or before going live
- Listing can be edited at any time
- Daily, weekly and monthly leaderboards

## Cons

- No free option
- Outbound links are nofollow
- Small catalog means limited traffic
- AI products only

## Tips

- Pick a launch day when you can share your listing page with your own users, since votes move the daily ranking
- Fill in the full listing; the site notes that complete pages give search engines more to work with
- Skip Boost unless the 14 day sponsored rotation fits a wider launch push
- Add the optional badge only if you want visitors to vote
