TOOLS kept it simple

Before you submit, ensure the tool meets these criteria:

• Offers a free version that delivers its promises
  The tool should perform its advertised functionality fully and effectively. There should be no unexpected restrictions or limitations that are only revealed after use. Be transparent about what your tool can and cannot do.
• Doesn't require user registration for basic use
  Users should be able to access and use the prominently advertised free functionality of your tool without needing to create an account or provide personal information. The focus is on immediate utility without barriers. Optional registration for additional features is acceptable, but at least one key function that's promoted as free should be immediately accessible without sign-up.
• Has a clean, ad-free interface around key functions
  The tool's interface should be clean and free from disruptive advertisements, especially around key functional areas. We don't accept tools that require watching ads before providing output or those with excessive ads that interfere with usability. A clean, focused interface is essential.
• Provides high-quality output without requiring payment
  The free version of your tool should produce results of usable quality. We don't accept tools that provide low-quality outputs in their free tier as a way to upsell paid versions. While additional features like batch processing or advanced customization options can be part of a paid tier, the freely available functionality should deliver good, practical results that solve real user needs.
• Allows unrestricted use of output
  Users should be able to use the output from your tool without any restrictions. This means no attribution requirements, no limitations on commercial use, and no other conditions that complicate the use of the results. The goal is to keep things simple for the end user.

Tools that align with these principles of simplicity and genuine free use are ideal for our directory.
