About
Toolfio is an independent directory of software tools, SaaS products and startup resources for makers, developers and founders. Each listing is a dedicated page with a description, pros and cons, categories and a permanent directory backlink to the product's website. Founders pick a plan on the submit page. The Free Listing costs $0, includes 1 dofollow backlink and a short listing of about 1,500 characters, requires a Domain Rating of 20 or higher, and needs a permanent Featured on badge that Toolfio bots re-check. The Premium Listing costs $18.99 one time, gives 3 dofollow backlinks and homepage placement, and goes live in minutes with no badge. The Review Article costs $39.99 and the Directory Bundle costs $49.99 for five directories. Toolfio lists live products only, not upcoming launches.
How to submit
Choose a plan on the submit page. For paid plans, pay first, then add product details (AI Autofill can draft the form from your URL). For the free plan, check eligibility, add the Featured on badge to your site, and wait for badge verification.
