How to Submit to Twelve Tools (DR 81)
Twelve Tools is a tools directory that features twelve new tools a day. Listing is free and gets you 1 dofollow link plus one feature on the homepage, reviewed within 72 hours, with two conditions: you have to add a Twelve Tools badge or a plain link to twelve.tools on your site, and the free queue is currently about 30 days. If you want it faster, its Pro plan ($36 one-time) skips the queue, lists you within 24 hours, and drops the badge requirement.

You get the free listing without the manual work, plus 99 more directories for $29.
