What you actually get
A permanent listing among the 6,000 or so AI tools they hold, with a followed link: outbound links on live listings carry rel="noopener" and no nofollow. They advertise about 30,000 monthly page views and a verified badge with the paid tiers. Some listings point at affiliate URLs rather than the tool's plain domain, so read where your own link is aimed once it is up.

How to submit to ToolsPedia

  1. Fill the form
    Tool name, tool URL, the tier you want, first and last name, email and country. It is an Elementor form on WordPress.
  2. Wait for the invoice
    Their own steps say you receive a payment invoice after the form rather than paying at a checkout.
  3. Pay
    The listing is created once the payment clears. This is where the run stops if nobody has authorised the spend.

Gotchas

The form is free to fill and the money is asked for afterwards by invoice, so it is easy to complete the whole thing and only then find out it was never a free listing.
Some live listings send traffic through the operator's affiliate links rather than to the tool's own domain, so check where your row actually points once it is published.
Nothing on the submit page states how long the review takes, and the queue only starts once payment clears rather than when you submit.
