How to submit a tool

Submitting on directree is one input: a URL. The site does the rest.

The flow

  1. Sign in and go to /submit.
  2. Paste the tool's website URL and start the crawl. You'll see the steps live: fetching the site, reading the pricing page, detecting integrations, capturing a screenshot, and writing the honest summary.
  3. About 30 seconds later you get a full listing preview – observed facts marked ✓ Verified, AI text marked ✦ AI-inferred (see the honesty labels).
  4. Review and adjust before publishing:
    • Images – reorder or add gallery images (the first one is the header).
    • Demo links – optionally add a YouTube video and/or an interactive product demo link.
    • Plan model – paid, subscription, free, or freemium. This is your input, never crawled or guessed.
    • Categories – pick a primary category and up to 3 secondary ones, or keep the AI suggestion.
  5. Choose how it goes live: publish instantly (it appears in Latest additions right away) or schedule a launch day for the Just Launched spotlight at 09:00. Details in Instant vs Launch.
  6. Hit publish.

A few rules

  • Anyone can submit any tool – you don't have to own it. Creating a listing doesn't give you control of it; see Creating an account for the create ≠ own model.
  • Submissions are rate-limited and logged to keep spam out.
  • The AI's opinions (strengths, weaknesses, best-for) are always labelled and always correctable by the verified founder – see How AI-inferred fields work.

If it's your tool

Publishing is step one. Then claim the listing to verify ownership, correct any AI fields, and get the do-follow backlink badge.
