Our take
Every entry on ToolDirectory, an editor-reviewed AI tools catalog for consumers and professionals, is paid. Plans start at $9.99 per month, with a $150 one-time lifetime listing and a separate featured option; no badge is needed. Links are confirmed NOT to pass SEO value, and while search traffic is small, the site shows up in several hundred AI-search citations.
2,759+ AI tools across 45 categories. Every listing is editor-reviewed, dated, and marked live or retired, so you can tell what's still shipping.
