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 OpenTools (AI builders and professionals following the OpenTools newsletter), not for search engines.
Wait, then check

From OpenTools’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for AI tool 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
- The main task your AI does, in one plain sentence (e.g. “turns podcasts into short clips”)
- Your pricing tiers, and whether there is a free plan or free trial
- Which models or providers you use, if you say so publicly
- 2–3 concrete use cases, each one sentence
Is OpenTools 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: 69 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #210,104: a mid-sized site, inside the top 500,000.
- Listing costs money. Pay for the audience, not the link: Google’s spam policies treat buying links that pass ranking value as a link scheme.
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.
