Conditional free route directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

What the free route requires

  • Listing gate: Domain Rating 30+ OR 1,000+ monthly visitors — the submit page checks your domain for eligibility
  • Sign-in exists on the site; the displayed form itself asks only for URL, product name, your name, email and a note

Requirements

  • DR 30+ or 1,000+ monthly visitors, verified via a domain check built into the page
  • Tool/software product fit across their categories (AI, dev tools, productivity, design, marketing, SEO, no-code, etc.)
  • Form fields: Website URL, Product Name, Your Name, Your Email, Note; optional newsletter opt-in checkbox

Prepare before opening the form

  • Confirm your DR (Ahrefs) is 30+ or analytics show 1,000+ monthly visitors before submitting
  • Website URL, product name, your name, email, and a short note
  • Have a clean homepage/product page — the site publishes research-based reviews, so expect editorial scrutiny

Workflow

  1. Open https://awesome.tools/submit
  2. Enter your domain in the eligibility checker if unsure about DR/traffic
  3. Fill Website URL, Product Name, Your Name, Your Email, Note
  4. Submit; the team evaluates and (if accepted) produces a review/listing on awesome.tools/apps/<slug>

Watch for

  • Hard DR 30+ / traffic floor — most early-stage products will fail the gate; the page upsells 'Outrank' (DR-increase service) and 'Effortless Backlinks' to help you qualify
  • Listings are research-based reviews written by the site — you cannot control the verdict
  • Affiliate disclosure page exists; reviews may carry affiliate economics
  • Contact for sales questions: [email protected]

What counts as live

A public review/app page at awesome.tools/apps/<slug> and presence in the relevant /best category lists

Not verified

  • Whether submission itself is free (no price shown on the submit form, but a review-based model may gate on selection)
  • Whether outbound links are dofollow
  • Review turnaround time
  • Whether a sign-in is required to submit the form
