Mr. Free Tools
Conditional free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Only tools with a free, freemium, or free-trial tier are eligible — pure paid products are out of scope
- No public submission form is discoverable — the route is likely the contact page/email or an account flow; a third-party tracker lists the site as 'not_submittable'
Requirements
- Tool must offer a free/freemium/free-trial license
- Submissions must follow their strict copy format: ≤240-char excerpt starting '{tool name} is a…' and an objective 80-120-word description
- Possible account requirement per BacklinkBot's guide (could not be verified)
Prepare before opening the form
- Tool name, URL, logo
- A ≤240-char excerpt in their house style ('{tool name} is a…')
- An 80-120-word objective description
- Clarity on which free tier the tool offers (free / freemium / free trial)
Workflow
- Prepare the excerpt and description per the /description/ guidelines
- Find the submission route: try the contact page (mrfreetools.com/contact/) or look for an account/submit option on the live site in a real browser — the site 403s bots
- Alternatively pitch an article via /write-for-us/ (Google Doc link, no account) and reference the tool editorially
- Submit and await editorial review
Watch for
- Site hard-blocks automated fetches (403 on every page) — all findings are from search-indexed copies
- The exact submission mechanism is unconfirmed; Launch Point Zero flagged it as not submittable
- Content guidelines are unusually strict — non-conforming copy likely stalls review
- Write-for-us is a real free route but produces an article, not a directory listing
What counts as live
The tool gets a dedicated page on mrfreetools.com appearing in directory search results
Not verified
- Where the actual submission form lives (or whether submission is by email only)
- Account requirement, review time, link type
- Whether the directory is still actively accepting additions
