Submit your tool to TopSocialTools

TopSocialTools is a curated directory of social media tools with editor ratings per category. Listings are paid yearly, reviewed by hand, and removed when the subscription ends.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link $49/year Standard or $89/year Featured

Is TopSocialTools worth it?

Only worth it for social media tools, and only for the niche traffic. The submit page says all links are dofollow, but every product link on about 500 listing pages checked in November 2026 had rel="nofollow". Do not pay for SEO value. If your tool fits (scheduling, analytics, social automation), the $49 Standard plan buys a reviewed listing in front of buyers who are already comparing tools.

Who should submit to TopSocialTools?

Suits makers of social media management, analytics, scheduling and social marketing tools. The site says it accepts no generic tools, so general SaaS, developer tools and most AI products are out of scope.
