What you actually get
A page at /en/tools/<slug> with a description, a category and a related-tools row, and two links to your site that are genuinely followed. They are written as rel="dofollow noopener noreferrer", which is not a real attribute value, but no nofollow token is present so search engines follow them anyway: the thing being sold does work. What is around it is thinner than the price suggests. The catalogue is a few dozen tools, mostly large names nobody charged $19, the domain measures DR 1, and the categories run to nine.

How to submit to ToolBloom

  1. Open Submit Tool
    It is /en/submit-tool, linked from the header. No account is needed to reach it and signing in changes nothing about what is offered.
  2. Give a name and a URL
    Those are the only two fields on the page. Nothing asks for a description, a category, a logo or a screenshot.
  3. Pick one of three paid plans
    Basic $19, Featured $79, Prime $229. Basic is preselected and the running total sits next to Submit & Continue. There is no fourth card.
  4. Pay, and let them write it
    Their own line is that you complete payment and they handle the listing workflow automatically, so the copy on the page is produced from your site after the money.

Gotchas

There is no free lane and no cheaper way round it. The submit page is three priced cards, the word free does not appear on it once, and their own instruction is to choose a plan and complete payment. The floor is $19 and it is charged before anyone looks at the tool.
You pay before the listing is written. The form collects a name and a URL and nothing else, and the site says it handles the listing workflow automatically, so the description and category that end up on your page are produced from your site after the money has gone and without you approving them.
The followed link is two links on one page. Your own tool page carries them, but every card on the homepage, every category page and every related-tools row across the site is nofollow, including the rows pointing at you from other tools' pages.
