Awesome Tools
awesome.toolsAwesome Tools is a review site for all kinds of startups, including AI tools, design tools, developer tools, marketing tools, no-code tools, productivity apps, and SaaS. We went through its submission pages in October 2026: what it costs, the link you get, who gets in and how to submit.
How much does Awesome Tools cost?
Listing on Awesome Tools is free, as long as you link back to them from your site, with paid options from $49.
Free listings require a do-follow link back to Awesome Tools, DR 20, at least 30 referring domains, and either 200 monthly visits or 100 ranking keywords. Product checks still apply: the site must load on its own domain, be launched software, be in English, and avoid excluded topics. The About page says paid listings bypass the backlink and authority requirements, but not product checks.

Does Awesome Tools give a dofollow backlink?
Awesome Tools links to your site with a nofollow link, which asks Google not to count it.
Its Ahrefs Domain Rating is 52. Part of that comes from sites that link back to it in exchange for a listing, so it likely overstates what its link is worth to you (why).
