What you actually get
A well-designed listing page on a site that clearly cares about design, and no SEO benefit whatsoever: every View Website button points at digitool.co/get/<slug> and carries rel=nofollow. Submit here because you want to be seen by their audience, not because you want the link.
How to submit to Digitool
1Sign in
Continue with Google or Continue with X used to sit at /login; the page now renders an empty divider where those buttons were, leaving only email and password. Until you do, /submit/submit-tool renders the whole form and then tells you to log in underneath it.
2Product details
Name, URL, square logo (512x512, 1MB), 16:9 cover (1280x720, 2MB), a 100-character short description, an 800-character description, startup yes/no, one of 17 categories, up to four tags, cost and open-source yes/no.
3Personal details
Full name, email, optional X username, solo-founder yes/no, and an optional how-did-you-hear question.
4Confirm and name your price
Pay what you want with a stated minimum of $0. The amount is what ranks the featured row on their homepage, and anything above zero goes through Stripe.
5Wait for a human
Their own copy: reviewed manually, up to 7 days.

Gotchas
Pay what you want is real, and $0 is genuinely allowed, but the amount you pay is exactly what decides your position in the featured row.
The description is capped at 800 characters and the short description at 100, both enforced, so bring a trimmed version rather than your long copy.
The social sign-in buttons have stopped rendering: /login shows an "or" divider with nothing under it, so an email-and-password account is the only way in.
Let your agent submit to Digitool
Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the Digitool playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.
What it does for this platform
Checks your product against the 4 Digitool rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 8 fields this form asks for, 2 of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Tells you what paying buys here, so you pick it on purpose: pay what you want from $0; the amount you pay ranks you in the featured row.
Types it into Digitool in your own browser, and stops for you when the form wants a sign-in.
Records what it sent, so the dashboard can answer "did I ever submit to Digitool?".
