Free or Boosted, a ToolsNoCode Listing Carries the Same Followed Link.

Sign up, then look in the footer

The form sits behind a free account. Signing up takes an email and a password of at least six characters, or just a Google account through Continue with Google. Nothing else is asked: no company name, no card. Get Started, at the top of every page, opens the sign-up.

Signed in, head for the footer, because the menu has no submit link. Submit a Tool sits in the Community column, and the home page carries an Add your tool button near its foot. Before filling anything in, search for your product. If it is listed already and nobody owns it, its page shows Claim this listing, and claiming that page beats publishing a second one.

The name sets your address

Name is the one field with an asterisk, and it becomes the listing's address: lowercased, with every run of spaces or punctuation turned into a single hyphen. A product called My Tool.ai would get the address /tools/my-tool-ai. Use the name you intend to keep.

The tagline has no limit and three jobs. It appears beneath the name on the listing, follows the name in the page title and shows on the 1200 x 630 share card ToolsNoCode draws for every listing, next to your logo, category and pricing label. Keep it to 60 characters or fewer: the title in the page's HTML carries that much whole and trims anything longer with an ellipsis.

Description first, then the one link

The description has no limit either. It fills the About section with your line breaks kept, and its opening words also feed the listing's meta description, which ends at 160 characters. Open with the product's job and the people it serves.

Then keep going. In September ToolsNoCode opened the homepage of every listed tool "whose page was thin enough to need rewriting", about 2,000 of them, according to its audit write-up. A full description from you gives your listing its substance, in your own words, from the first day.

The Website field is the one to get right, and the form will let you skip it. It is the listing's only link: what you type is stored exactly as typed and becomes the Visit Website button, and a blank field leaves the page with no link at all. Paste the full address, https:// included. ToolsNoCode adds no tracking parameters, so add your own utm tag if you want those visits labelled in your analytics.

A square logo, wide screenshots

The logo box says it plainly: "Square image recommended. Will be converted to WebP automatically." Uploads must be under 10 MB and are stored as WebP at up to 512 px on the long side; a pasted URL is used as given.

Add screenshots one by one with + Add screenshot; the form sets no maximum. On the listing they run in a sideways-scrolling row at one fixed height, each keeping its own proportions, so landscape shots fill the most room. They are stored at up to 1,280 px on the long side, so send them at that width or more.

One of 33 categories, one honest label

Category is required. Leave it on Choose a category… and the form will not send; its error message explains that the category "decides which page your tool appears on." The 33 run from 3D & AR/VR to Writing & Copy. On 10 October Marketing was the largest with 382 listings, Other AI had 332 and Education 255, while Translation had five. Pick the one a buyer would open to find a product like yours.

Pricing starts on Free, and ToolsNoCode defines each label on its category pricing pages. Free means "free to use according to the tool's own site, with no paid plan mentioned anywhere on it". Freemium means "offering a permanent free plan next to paid ones; a free trial alone does not count". A trial that turns into a bill is Paid, and Enterprise covers products "sold without a public price".

The labels get checked against the source. A September pass compared the label on 2,000 listings with each tool's own homepage and found 439 wrong, and the write-up's advice to makers is "the label comes from what your homepage says." Each listing also turns up on the pricing page that matches its label (Finance has one for its free tools, for example).

Everything else is optional. Difficulty appears on the listing as Level. Tags, split at the commas, show as chips under their own heading, and Pricing Details takes a line like their example, "From $20/mo". Above the button, a box headed "Boost your tool after publishing" introduces the paid plan. Then press Publish Tool; the confirmation screen repeats the Boost offer next to a link reading No thanks, view my tool.

Where a new listing shows up

The site gives its newest entries several ways in. The home page's Recently Added row, "The latest tools in the directory", holds the eight newest listings, and the main directory list opens sorted by Newest. Standard listings are placed "By date added", as the comparison table on the pricing page puts it, with boosted ones above them.

Your tool can also appear in the alternatives block on other listings in its category, which shows up to eight, the most visited first and then the newest. Category pages sort by Trending, a ranking built on real visits and clicks. The directory is busy, too: its sitemap dates 50 listings to the first ten days of October 2026, and the 13 September newsletter says intake "has run between 62 and 74 a month since June."

Boost: $49.90 a year for position

Boost is the one paid plan, at $49.90 a year. The pricing page lists a "Full-width card at the top of the directory", first place on the category page, the Boosted section on the home page, a demo video on the listing, a Boosted badge and first place in on-site search. The home page labels that section "Paid placement by the people who made them", so a visitor always knows which cards were bought.

What money cannot move is just as clear. Trending is "Earned by real traffic" on both plans, and a boosted listing's Visit Website button is the same followed link a free listing carries. Boost can be cancelled at any time, and, in the pricing page's words, "the boost runs to the end of the period you paid for."

A directory that checks its own listings

In September 2026 ToolsNoCode opened about 2,000 of its listed tools' homepages and delisted 207 of them. In 164 cases the product had been renamed, acquired or replaced; in 35 the domain now served something else entirely. The label check described above ran alongside it, and the audit write-up says plainly: "We will repeat the check." Upkeep like that is what makes a listing here worth having.

For a maker the lesson is simple: keep your homepage and your listing telling the same story. Renamed and repurposed products made up most of the 207.

Every field, filled by us

Customers who tick ToolsNoCode in their dashboard get the whole form handled. We write both the tagline and the description for ToolsNoCode's own fields.

Your logo is cropped square and your screenshots sized for the row they sit in, and the category and the pricing label are set for you. Then it goes in through the free route with your other picks. For a whole package our terms set 2 to 3 days as the target and 21 days as the most we commit to.

ToolsNoCode review: worth listing?

Yes, list it. It is free, wants nothing placed on your site and needs two fields, though it is the website field that carries the link. The listing links to you once, directly and followed, exactly as a paid one does, inside a directory that audits itself. Boost is there for a verified owner who wants the top row; the link does not need it.
