Send the Tool
You submit the product once, with the name, URL, category, logo, and the description you want the listing to carry.
For the first listing a new tool needs anywhere
Get listed on Tool Index and get written about in the same week.
The Launch Bundle pairs an instant submission with a full editorial review. Your tool is reviewed within 24 hours, featured for 7 days, and covered in a 2,000+ word article on toolindex.net with screenshots and a permanent qualified link. Bought separately those two parts cost $104.99.
One-time purchase through Whop. The same parts cost $104.99 bought separately at toolindex.net, so the bundle saves $65.
Would rather do the legwork yourself? There is a free list of 25 real directories on the bundles overview, and it costs nothing to work through.

The failure pattern
Being Live Is Not the Same as Being Findable
A brand new tool has no listings, no third-party pages, and nothing for a buyer or a search engine to read except the founder's own site. Submitting to a directory gets you a row in a table. Getting written about takes an editor who will actually open the product and use it. Most founders end up doing neither, or doing one of the two and calling it distribution.
The change
One Order, Three Things You Can Open
You get one listing page and one long editorial page, both live on a domain that is not yours. The submission is reviewed within 24 hours and featured for 7 days. The review is a 2,000+ word article with screenshots, a disclosed sponsorship label, and a link that stays up after the featured window closes.
Listing Goes Live
The submission is reviewed within 24 hours, published on toolindex.net, and featured for 7 days.
Review Gets Written

Verifiable
The receipt
Tool Index Is a Live Public Directory
This is not a landing page waiting for its first listing. The public sitemap carries more than 900 URLs, including more than 800 individual tool pages that anyone can open, read, and link to. Your listing becomes one of them.
Open Tool IndexStrong fit
Buy This If
- You just launched and have no third-party pages about the product yet.
- You want a listing and a written review without managing two separate orders.
- A 7 day featured window is enough, because your launch moment is a single week.
Wrong fit
Skip This If
- You are already listed on Tool Index and only need the review, which is cheaper on its own.
- You want a full month of placement, a homepage spotlight, and social promotion, which is what the Spotlight Bundle covers.
- You expect the review to be positive because you paid for it.
Before checkout
Straight Answers
How fast does the listing go live?
The submission is reviewed within 24 hours. The editorial review is a separate piece of writing and takes longer, because somebody has to use the product before writing about it.
Can I pay for a good review?
No. Payment buys the review, the screenshots, the disclosure, and the link. It does not buy the conclusion. If the product has real problems, the article says so.
What happens after the 7 featured days?
The listing stays. Featured placement is a time-limited slot on top of the listing, and it is labeled while it runs.
Does paying change where my tool ranks?
No. Paid placement is labeled and kept out of the organic score. The published methodology page spells out which signals count and which ones never do.
Can I edit the listing later?
Yes. Claim the listing and edit it, or send a correction. The methodology page documents how corrections and disputes are handled.
The boundary
You are buying a listing, a 7 day featured window, and a published editorial review. Traffic, signups, search rankings, and a favorable verdict are not for sale here, and nobody honest would sell them.
