What the badge does (and what it does not)

The badge links to your own tool review page (/tool/your-slug/). Placing it earns you that free, independent review page. It does not add you to any “best of” listicle, and it never changes your ToolChase score or ranking.

Being included in a listicle is a separate, editorial-or-advertising matter, handled two ways:

  • Featured placement (paid): a clearly labelled sponsored slot at the top of a relevant listicle. It sits outside the editorial ranking and uses rel="sponsored". See Advertise.
  • Natural editorial fit: if your tool genuinely meets a roundup's criteria, our editors may add it on merit. No position and no rating are guaranteed, and we do not take requests to be added.

Any paid or affiliate link carries rel="sponsored". Please do not email asking to be placed in an existing listicle; that is decided editorially or through advertising only.

Generate your embed code

Enter your tool slug to get a ready-to-use, self-contained badge. Your slug is the last part of your ToolChase URL (e.g., toolchase.com/tool/claude/). The link is do-follow because this is an earned editorial badge.

<a href="https://toolchase.com/tool/claude/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"

Where to place the badge

Website footer

The most common placement. Appears on every page, subtle but always visible.

About page

Next to other trust signals and social proof. Shows you welcome independent review.

Pricing page

Where users make buying decisions. An independent review badge builds purchase confidence.

Press or awards page

Alongside other recognitions. A natural home for an independent editorial badge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I get for placing the badge?

Everything, for free: an independent editorial review, a dedicated review page at /tool/{your-slug}/, a ToolChase score, comparison pages against competitors, an alternatives page, and inclusion in our 650+ tool directory. No listing fees, no hidden charges. Badge placement is all we ask in return.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

No catch. You place a small badge on your site that links back to your ToolChase review page. We get a backlink, you get a full listing with SEO-optimized content. Everyone wins. There are no paid tiers for listings; every tool gets the same treatment.

Does badge placement affect my score?

No. ToolChase scores are based on our transparent methodology: features, pricing, usability, and value. Placing or removing the badge has zero impact on your score. We keep editorial and partnerships completely separate.

Where should I place the badge?

Your website footer is the most common spot; it appears on every page and is subtle but always visible. Other good placements: your about page, pricing page, or a "press" / "awards" section.

My tool isn't listed yet. How do I start?

Place our badge on your site (footer, about page, or pricing page) using the embed code below, then email hello@toolchase.com with your tool URL and the page where the badge is placed. We do a quick editorial review and list your tool within 2-3 business days.

Is this different from advertising on ToolChase?

Yes. The badge program is completely free, so you get a standard listing in exchange for badge placement. Advertising is an optional paid service for tools that want premium placement like featured spots on category pages or newsletter sponsorships. You never need to pay to be listed.
