Yes, if you're fine adding their badge.
You get a free dofollow link from a DR 30 site, as long as their badge is on your site. Your listing goes live as soon as you submit.

Approval and timeline
- Time to live:
- Right away, as soon as you submit.
- How it works:
- Click Submit launch on the homepage and paste your URL. It pulls your name, tagline, description and icon from your meta tags, then you pick a category and a plan. The free Badge plan needs a link back to tool-list.dev on the page you submit (the badge snippet points at your listing), and it's checked once before your listing goes live with a dofollow link. The check reads the raw HTML, so a badge injected by JavaScript won't be found. No badge yet? You can publish straight away with a nofollow link instead. No account needed, and one domain can only be listed once. Brand new in September 2026 and the list is still empty, so authority and audience are close to zero for now.
- Badge:
- Free plan only: add the Tool List badge (any link to tool-list.dev counts) to the page you submit, in the server-rendered HTML. It's checked once before the listing publishes. Skip it and the listing publishes nofollow. The $9 Badgeless plan and Featured slots need no badge. How to add badges without cluttering your site.
Pros
- Free dofollow backlink with the badge, live the moment it verifies
- No signup, and the form fills itself in from your meta tags
- Permanent listing page that never expires
- No upvotes or launch day to manage
- $9 one-time option if you don't want a badge
Cons
- Badge required for a free dofollow link, otherwise the listing is nofollow
- Brand new site (September 2026) with no measurable authority yet
- Tiny audience so far, so expect little referral traffic
- Newest-first list, so your listing slides down as others launch
How to submit to Tool List
- Prepare your details. Tool List asks for your website URL, tool name, tagline and category. Keep them in a free Startup Profile so you can reuse them on every directory.
- Open the submit page on Tool List and fill in the form.
- Add their badge to your site, in the HTML, before you submit.
- Check your listing. It goes live right away.
