What you actually get
A page in a productivity and software review directory whose audience is buyers rather than makers. The link out of a listing carries no nofollow. Without Vendor Pro the page is theirs to write and carries competitors' ads.

How to submit to Tool Finder

  1. Read the packages
    Submit Tool at 29 USD, Vendor Pro at 79 a year, advertising at 299 a month.
  2. Sign up
    An account before anything else.
  3. Submit and pay
    The listing is created on payment rather than reviewed first.

Gotchas

Without the 79 dollar a year tier the listing page carries competitors' ads and you cannot edit it.
There is no free lane: /advertise is the only route in and every option on it is priced.
The 29 dollar tier is described as making the tool searchable rather than promoted, so nothing here buys placement.
