Submit your tool to UtilPortal

UtilPortal is a general tool directory built on the Mkdirs template, with categories from AI and productivity to framework boilerplates. You pick a paid plan, then submit the listing and choose the day it goes live.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link $2.90 with a backlink, or $9.90 once without

Is UtilPortal worth it?

Cheap and the link is dofollow, so it is a fair add to a directory round. The catch: the $2.90 Basic plan requires a backlink to utilportal.com from your site, per the FAQ. If you do not want to link back, Pro at $9.90 removes that requirement and lists you immediately. Expect little direct traffic; the value is mainly the link.

Who should submit to UtilPortal?

Suits SaaS, AI and developer tool makers, and boilerplate authors, who want a low-cost permanent dofollow link. Not a fit for anyone wanting a free listing or real launch traffic, or for founders who will not add a reciprocal link and do not want to pay $9.90.
