SumoDir
sumodir.comSumoDir is a directory for AI tools, design tools, developer tools, no-code tools, 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 SumoDir cost?
Listing on SumoDir is free, as long as you link back to them from your site, with paid options from $15.
The form requires a “Featured on SumoDir” badge on the product website’s homepage or footer. It provides badge HTML linking to SumoDir with rel="dofollow" and says the site periodically scans for the badge; removing it can result in deletion of the listing. The free listing is reviewed and listed within 2 weeks. The FAQ contradicts this requirement, answering “No” to whether a backlink is needed.

Does SumoDir give a dofollow backlink?
SumoDir links to your site with a dofollow link, the kind Google may count toward your site's authority.
Its Ahrefs Domain Rating is 58. 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).
