WHY INST(AI)TOOLS.COM
A marketplace built by AI builders,
for AI users!
Most marketplaces take too much and give too little. We built the one we wished existed.
You keep 85% of every sale. No monthly fees, no listing fees. We only earn when you earn.
From day one, you get a referral link. Every sale you send earns 20% commission — on ANY tool, not just yours.
Your buyers are already looking for AI tools. No competing with ebooks or random digital products.
List a micro-app, a prompt pack, or your time as an expert session. Mix formats to maximize revenue.
Submit your tool in 10 minutes. We review in 48h. You're live and selling before the weekend.
Permanent badge on your profile. Early sellers get the best visibility as the catalog grows.
Can't find the AI tool you need?

Your request appears anonymously to inspire indie makers.
When a product matches, we email you a direct link.
You've tried the others.
