Common Questions

Is it free to list a tool on Tool Index?
Yes. A free listing needs a small nofollow link back to Tool Index on your site and goes live in 7 to 14 days. Paid options skip the queue and need no link.
How fast can my listing go live?
Instant submission is reviewed within 24 hours for $29.99 and features you for 7 days. Free listings take 7 to 14 days.
What gets a submission rejected?
Dead or parked sites, blog posts, one-off demos, products that aren't yours and anything without a working product behind the landing page.
Does paying improve my score or review?
No. Payment buys speed and placement. Scores come from the published methodology, and the editorial review is written independently of the order.
