What you actually get
A hand-reviewed listing page with your logo, up to three 16:9 screenshots, a tagline, two descriptions, a category and any social links you gave, plus an emailed claim link so you can manage it later. The free tier's link is nofollow by their own description; the badge converts it. They also sell AI-visibility monitoring that reports how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini describe you, which is the site's other half.

How to submit to Verified Tools

Add the media
A logo capped at 512x512 and one to three screenshots at 16:9. The first screenshot becomes the featured image.

Gotchas

The $12 Starter plan is preselected. The Free card is first in the row but unselected, so submitting without changing it is a paid submission.
The free listing is nofollow and they say so on the card. Their badge on your homepage converts it, which is the same trade most of this band makes, just stated up front.
The claim email is load-bearing: their own warning says signing in later with a different address means you will not see the submission at all.
