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
- Open https://awesome.tools/submit
- Enter your domain in the eligibility checker if unsure about DR/traffic
- Fill Website URL, Product Name, Your Name, Your Email, Note
- 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
