About
First Look is a directory of AI tools, SaaS platforms and software for founders who want their product listed and for people looking for tools. It lists AI image generators, video creators, chatbots and productivity apps, and the home page shows 560 products in categories such as Writing, Audio, Developer Tools and SEO. Founders submit through a form at firstlook.tools/submit that asks for a tool URL, name, tagline, a description with a minimum of 500, logo and up to 3 categories. A free listing waits 7 days in the review queue and keeps a dofollow backlink only while the First Look badge stays on your website, checked weekly. Paid plans cost $15.99 lifetime, $25.90 lifetime for two directories, or $29.00 monthly, and go live in minutes. The About page says review takes 2 business days.
