How to list your AI tool on Toolify
TL;DR
Toolify (toolify.ai) is a large AI tools directory with 31,257 tools in 459 categories in October 2026. A listing costs $99 once, goes live within 48 hours with no queue, stays on the site permanently and brings at least 6 dofollow links. It suits AI startups with a working product and a launch budget.
What is Toolify?
Toolify is a searchable directory of AI products and GPTs, sorted into categories and rankings, with a blog, AI news and an "Is It Down?" checker. The homepage says the list is updated daily. On its submit page Toolify claims 5.1 million+ monthly visits, 8 million+ page views, 700,000+ subscribers and an average visit of 3 minutes 23 seconds.
Visitors are AI users, entrepreneurs, investors and buyers comparing tools for a task. Every listing gets an introduction in several languages, written or translated by Toolify's own AI.
Who should submit to Toolify?
- AI startups with a public, working product that uses artificial intelligence.
- Founders who want a permanent directory page with dofollow links and translated descriptions.
- Teams with a custom GPT: Toolify has a separate Submit GPT option.
- Skip it if your product has no AI features or carries explicit adult content. Toolify names both as reasons for rejection.
- Skip it if $99 is too much for one directory. The submit page shows no free option.
How much does Toolify cost?
$99, paid once. For that you get:
- A place in the main listing and the Just Launched section within 48 hours.
- A highlighted border that makes the tool easier to spot in lists.
- No fewer than 6 dofollow links from Toolify to your site.
- A listing that stays up for good, plus a Toolify launch badge to embed on your site.
Toolify reviews every tool by hand and promises a full, automatic refund if your tool is not published. Featured placements and sponsorships are refunded too, as long as they have not started. The same page sells extras with no public price: pay-per-click and featured advertising, guest posts and link insertions, and updates to an existing listing.
How do you share your startup on Toolify?
- Search Toolify for your product name. If it is already listed, use the Update AI option instead of paying for a new listing.
- Open the submit page, choose Submit AI and enter the tool name and website URL.
- Pick how the listing text gets written: Generated by Toolify (its AI writes and translates everything) or Do it myself (you write it in English and Toolify's AI translates it).
- Pay $99. The FAQ asks you to include your tool URL with the payment.
- Wait up to 48 hours. Your submission history sits in the User Center, under My Orders.
Tips to get more out of Toolify
- Choose Do it myself if wording matters to you. Every translation starts from your English text.
- Open the description with the task and the user, in the style of "turns sales calls into CRM notes for small sales teams".
- Pick the narrowest category that fits. Category pages are where visitors compare tools side by side.
- Track referrals from toolify.ai in your analytics for 30 days before you buy advertising on top.
Our verdict
At $99, Toolify sits at the pricier end of AI directories, and in return it gives a fast, permanent listing on a high-traffic site with several dofollow links and translated pages. It fits AI startups that already have a polished product page. On a tight budget, start with cheaper AI directories.
