Introduction
TopTools.ai positions boldly as the "#1 AI tools directory" with strong filtering by pricing (free, freemium, paid) and many functional tags across business, development, and creative tools.
I'm Nick, founder of VibeDirectories. TopTools's strong filtering and organization make discovery efficient. Getting listed there makes sense.
But the SEO reality: even the "#1 directory" is still just 1 backlink. You need 100+.
You want TopTools' organized discovery PLUS comprehensive coverage from 99+ other directories.
