About
ToolScout is a directory of AI tools for founders who want their product found by people comparing AI tools. It lists AI-powered products for writing, coding, design, image and video, marketing, research and more, plus open-source GitHub repos through a separate submission. Submitting a standard listing is free and requires signing in. Every submission is reviewed by a human; free listings take a week or more, while Boost and Featured submissions are reviewed within 24 to 48 hours. A listing gets a tool page, placement in category and pricing feeds, and an embeddable ToolScout badge. Optional one-time placements cost $49 for Boost (7 days) and $99 for Featured (14 days). The tool must be live and publicly accessible.
How to submit
Sign in, submit the AI tool (takes about a minute), wait for human review, and receive an email when the tool is approved and live. Open-source projects use a separate GitHub repo submission.
