## Is ToolRain worth it?

Worth a few minutes if your product is an AI tool. The listing page links to your site with a plain followed link, and the free plan only asks for their badge, which the pricing page says must stay up permanently. Pay $9.90 if you would rather skip the badge, or $19.90 for homepage featuring. The site says it gets 2K visits a month, so treat it as a backlink rather than a traffic source.

## Who should submit to ToolRain?

Suits makers of AI products: writing, image, video, audio, coding, agents and similar tools. It does not suit non-AI software, since every category on the site is an AI one. Makers who will not keep a third-party badge on their site should take the $9.90 plan or skip it.

## What you need before you submit

- An account via Google, GitHub or email
- An AI product that fits one of their AI categories
- A square icon and a 16:9 image
- Their badge kept on your site for the free plan

## How to submit

1. Sign in at toolrain.com/submit
2. Enter the link, name, categories, tags and descriptions
3. Upload the icon and the cover image
4. Choose Free, Basic ($9.90) or Pro ($19.90)
5. For Free, add the badge and verify it
6. Wait for review, up to 72 hours on the free plan

## Pros

- Followed link on the listing page
- Free option with a badge
- Cheap one-time paid plans with no badge
- Paid plans let you publish when you choose

## Cons

- AI tools only
- Free badge must stay up permanently
- The site says it gets about 2K visits a month
- Free plan is marked limited time only

## Tips

- Write the short description yourself rather than relying on the autofill
- Pick the most specific AI category so the page ranks for it
- If you dislike badges, $9.90 once removes that condition
