unloc.toolsUnloc 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 Unloc cost?
Listing on Unloc is free if you wait your turn, with paid options from $4.
Free listing is the default, but it is reviewed and must be approved before going live. No backlink or badge requirement is stated, and no review turnaround time is promised.
- Listing in Browse tools and its selected category after approval
- Free-listing order is based on quality score and recency, not payment
- No backlink or badge condition stated
- Sponsored pin at the top of one selected category
- Separate from the homepage Claim #1 auction
- Stripe subscription; cancel anytime
- Pay-what-you-want auction; highest current bid holds the Sponsored position until outbid
- At inspection, $4 was shown as the minimum to take #1 while Headwaze held it at $3; lower-row minimum was $2
- Ranking page says to bid at least $1 over the current holder; no weekly reset or lifetime-spend ranking
Extras they sell
- Category pin $149 USD/month
- Fixed monthly Sponsored placement at the top of a selected category. It is not an auction and does not place the product in the homepage Claim #1 strip.
- Claim #1 / Sponsored bid At inspection, $4 minimum to take #1; $2 minimum for a lower row. Amounts are dynamic.
- One-time Stripe bid; the highest current bid holds the Sponsored spot until another bidder pays more. Unloc says paid placement does not promise traffic.
