In its own words

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).

From awesome.tools's llms.txt, the file a site publishes to describe itself to AI assistants, fetched 29 October 2026. The words are the site's own; mxverify has not checked them.

How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts a new link from awesome.tools at $17 (level B · nofollow): $8.46 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $21 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed one would be worth $87 before relevance. A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $174 before relevance. A quote far above $109 for a followed level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 40 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link), with nofollow on 99% of its links (in the 10 articles we read). The spam score of its links is 1 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not awesome.tools's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 4,862 monthly visits, 33% from organic search (1,590). Visits fell 19% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “cluely pricing”, about 30 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

Is a link from awesome.tools worth placing?

That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from awesome.tools is worth $174 as an editorial citation (level A), $87 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $17 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $8.72 as a network link (level D), before relevance.

How much traffic does awesome.tools get?

awesome.tools gets about 4,862 visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 33% of them (1,590) come from organic search. Visits fell 19% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

In short: awesome.tools draws about 4,862 visits a month, down 19% since Jul 2026.

Source: third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026

Does awesome.tools pass Core Web Vitals?

No: real Chrome users see awesome.tools's largest content load in 3.0 s (LCP), and at least one vital reported for it is not at Google's good level. The figures are from the Chrome UX Report (CC BY 4.0), the 75th percentile of real visits. Core Web Vitals describe how a page feels to its visitors; BV does not use them.

In short: awesome.tools does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

Has awesome.tools been audited?

In short: awesome.tools's report is valued, not audited.

How BV is worked out

Site Strength 40 / 100 · level B · nofollow · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from awesome.tools would be worth up to $174 under BV 2.9, before relevance: its Site Strength is 40 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B (a guest, sponsored or listed link), but 99% of its links are nofollow, so it is worth about $17 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $8.46 and $21.

How awesome.tools links out: the full reading

10 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 29 October 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (4 from its feed, 6 from across its sitemap). This is our own reading of the site, not a vendor's figure, and it is what places a new link on the A–D scale until links placed here are audited.

Fair sample 91 links to other sites across 10 articles published in Sept 2026. Strong takes six or more articles and thirty or more links, spread over at least two months where the articles are dated.

Links its articles make to other sites
  • Followed1.1%
  • Nofollow48%
  • Sponsored51%
  • User-generated (ugc)0%

91 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 99% of a new link's weight at most C, because that share of the site's own links is nofollow, sponsored or ugc.

What its homepage offers

No guest-post, sponsored-post or advertising pages linked from the homepage.

Articles read

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level B — A 20%, B 73%, C 7.0%, D 0%. Put together with what kind of site it is, how established it is, whether it sells placements and how it links out, a new link here is priced as A 0.0%, B 0.9%, C 86%, D 13%.

Jev reads it as a publication (63%), small or niche as a source (56%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (84%).

AI assistants

AI assistants sent about 83 visits in Sept 2026 — 1.7% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

At this volume the shares swing hard month to month: a handful of visits can move an assistant from 0% to 100%.

AI crawler access

awesome.tools's robots.txt asks 5 of the 10 AI crawlers below not to read the site, mostly ones that collect training data.

Read from awesome.tools/robots.txt on 29 October 2026. robots.txt is a request that crawlers choose to follow; a site can also refuse crawlers at its server, which this card does not see. Google's AI Overviews use Googlebot, so Google-Extended does not affect them.

Server and network

a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

Its domain was registered in 2024.

mxverify looked up awesome.tools's address: it is served through Cloudflare (CDN), a content delivery network. Its address is shared edge infrastructure used by unrelated sites, so it cannot show who else runs on the same server, and sharing the network is no sign of a connection.

Cloudflare (CDN) fronts millions of unrelated sites, so sharing it says nothing about who runs a site. The count is shown; the sites are not listed.

Limitations: what this report does not show

3 stated plainly
  • No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
  • A CDN address is shared by unrelated sites, so it says nothing about ownership; no neighbours are listed for it.
  • awesome.tools's visits fell 19% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Half of Site Strength is organic search traffic, so a fall that lasts lowers BV when the figure is next read.
