About
Tool Index is a software directory for creators, developers, and teams that lists AI, SaaS, and developer tools, with category pages, alternatives, and comparisons. To submit, enter a tool name, tagline, and website URL on the submit form at toolindex.net/submit. Free submissions are open at any time and are usually reviewed within a day, but they need a small nofollow link to Tool Index on the landing page. Paid featured listings cost $29.99 one time for 7 days featured or $149.99 one time for 30 days featured, and are reviewed within 24 hours. A paid App Review costs $75 one time, with the commercial relationship disclosed and a permanent followed link from toolindex.net. Sponsorship on the sponsored leaderboard starts at $1. Founders should check the link requirement before choosing a free listing, since paid listings need no link.
How to submit
Enter the tool name, tagline, and website URL on the submit form, then continue. You receive an email when the tool is approved.
