Is Tulimoa worth it?
Worth it if your product uses AI in a real way or exposes an MCP server, API or CLI for agents. The $5 launch package is cheap, needs no badge, gets reviewed first and adds a Radar newsletter mention and an optional X post. The free route works too, but the listing is deleted if the badge is missing for 7 days. Write a concrete AI use field (40 to 600 characters), since vague AI claims are rejected. Plain SaaS without an AI or MCP angle will not get in.
Who should submit to Tulimoa?
Suits makers of AI tools, MCP servers, agent infrastructure, developer tools with agent APIs, and open-source AI projects with a public README. It does not suit general SaaS with only a minor AI feature, mobile-only apps, agencies, affiliate sites, or products without their own website. The site says 35% of submissions were rejected in the last 30 days, so low-effort listings are a poor fit.
