How to submit to Findly.tools
1
Sign in
/submit redirects to /sign-in?from=submit. Google and GitHub sit under the email form, and a Cloudflare Turnstile solves itself on the page while you decide.
2
Fill four fields and pick the lane
Tool name, website URL, one category and a logo, with an optional app image and two toggles for a promo code and a marketplace listing. The plan cards sit beside the form, not after it.
3
Review the listing their AI wrote
Continue creates the tool and lands on a review page with the description already filled from a scrape of your site, a 1,000 character budget on the free lane, and a badge panel marked Pending.
4
Save, then verify the badge
Save and continue stores the listing and returns you to a profile page where the tool reads Not Published. Verify badge now is what publishes it.

Gotchas
The $19 Premium card arrives preselected and the button underneath reads Continue to Payment ($19). Clicking the free card first is what changes it to Continue to Review (Free).
Their AI writes the description from a scrape of your site before you ever see the review page, so what it wrote is what publishes unless you replace it.
The listing is created and then held: it reads Not Published on your profile until their checker finds the badge, with a Publish instantly for $19 link sitting under the verify button.
