Submit to NewTool
A directory of new tools across 26 categories, from AI, development and marketing to education and daily life, with featured and sponsored products at the top of the homepage. It presents itself as a place where makers show what they build and early adopters find tools. The free plan gives one followed link but needs a NewTool badge that stays on your site, and free submissions can wait up to 90 days for review; the paid plans list at once with no badge.

How to submit to NewTool
Open the NewTool submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
NewTool asks you to sign up before you can submit.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse NewTool (Makers and early adopters looking for new tools by category; the homepage shows a counter of about 236,000 monthly visitors), not for search engines.
Decide on the link back
They ask for a link or badge on your site. Decide whether you’re happy to add it before you submit.
Wait, then check
We couldn’t confirm how listings are reviewed. Once yours is live, check the details and that the link points to the right page.
Tips for NewTool
- Free submissions are reviewed and listed within 90 days according to the pricing page, so use Basic ($14.9) if you need the page live now.
- The free badge has to stay on your site for good: the site says it checks regularly and unpublishes listings whose badge is gone.
- The pricing FAQ gives the backlink the free plan needs as a link to https://newtool.site; Basic and Pro need no backlink or badge.
- You must sign in (email, Google or GitHub) before the submit form opens, and the free plan comes with no customer support.
From NewTool’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for general web directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- Consistent business name, URL and contact details (use them the same way everywhere)
- The most specific category the directory offers
- A plain description with no keyword stuffing
- A business address or country, if the form asks
Is NewTool worth it?
A followed link, with a low bar
The listing link we inspected was followed, but we couldn’t confirm that anyone reviews listings. Directories that accept everyone tend to carry less weight, so treat it as a small plus, not a priority.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 71 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
- There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
- They ask for a link back to their site. One reciprocal link is common, but Google’s spam policies list excessive link exchanges as a problem, so don’t do this for every directory.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
