# Awesome Tools

> Awesome Tools is a software directory. Agents can submit a tool through the public JSON API or the browser form. A free listing requires a public backlink; the paid listing costs 49 USD once, reduced from 99 USD (save 50 USD).

Submit only on behalf of an authorized requester. Preview the request first. Submitting saves an agent request and sends confirmation and team notifications. It does not publish a listing immediately or make a payment.
