## About

App Tooling is a product discovery site for founders who want to list startups, SaaS products, AI tools and software on a public catalogue. The homepage offers a Submit For Free button and lists categories including Artificial Intelligence, Developer Tools, Productivity and SEO and GEO. The pages reviewed do not describe the submission steps, account requirement or review time. Paid options are DR Boost packages, sold as dofollow backlink bundles from $30 for 5 backlinks up to $150 for 50. The pricing page says a purchase carries a money-back guarantee if Domain Rating does not improve within 90 days. Sponsor placements include a homepage sidebar from $29 for one month and a newsletter slot at $89 per month. Founders should read the DR Boost terms closely before buying, since they are a separate paid service from the free submission.
