I Stopped Manually Listing My AI Tools Everywhere

I spent way too long last week comparing AI tools, jumping between vendor sites and trying to parse pricing that wasn't actually on their homepages. It made me realize how broken the discovery process is when you're trying to figure out what something actually costs and what it actually does before you commit any time to it.

WorthToTry fixes this. Every tool has its price right there on the listing, along with whether it's open source and a real written summary instead of marketing copy scraped from their site. They've got 705 tools across 35 categories now, and the listings are vetted before they go live. What makes it different is that they refuse to fake numbers—no invented ratings, no star averages, just the counts that are actually measured.

The submission process for founders is genuinely clever too. Instead of filling out forms, the site publishes a skill that coding agents can read and use to list products automatically. A founder runs it, clicks one confirmation link, and they're done. No badge requirement, no backlink, nothing transactional. That friction-free approach actually makes the directory more trustworthy because there's no incentive to game it.
