FAQ

How much does a ToolDix listing or sponsored placement cost?

ToolDix offers Verified Listing for $49 one time, Starter Boost for $29 for 7 days, Featured Launch for $129 for 14 days, and Growth Campaign for $299 for 30 days. Each package is paid through secure checkout before review.

Does payment guarantee approval?

No. Every submission is reviewed for quality, relevance, safety, and fit with ToolDix readers. Payment starts the review workflow; it does not guarantee approval, endorsement, clicks, leads, conversions, or a specific ranking.

What products can advertise on ToolDix?

ToolDix accepts relevant AI tools, apps, websites, SaaS products, developer products, productivity tools, marketing tools, and educational resources.

Can I choose where my sponsored listing appears?

ToolDix assigns placements based on the selected package, product category, editorial fit, current inventory, and approval status. Verified Listing is a long-term directory listing and does not include homepage or category-top ad inventory.

When does the paid placement period start?

For Starter Boost, Featured Launch, and Growth Campaign, the paid placement period starts only after ToolDix approves the submission and publishes the sponsored placement. Verified Listing is a long-term directory profile and does not have a campaign expiration date.

What happens if a submission is rejected?

Rejected submissions receive an editorial response. If ToolDix cannot publish the paid listing or placement because the product is not a fit, is unsafe, is misleading, or violates our policies, ToolDix will either issue a refund or offer one reasonable revision opportunity before a final decision.
