Submit a tool
Anyone can suggest a free tool, including makers. Each suggestion is reviewed, then checked like every other tool on IsLegit: its site is tested for ads and trackers, and it is held to The Junk Rule. Approved tools get a public report card. Nobody can pay to be listed or ranked.
What gets a tool marked Avoid
- Hidden catch at the end. A watermark, paywall or signup that only shows up after you did the work.
- Malware or bundled junk. Installs extra software you did not ask for, or has shipped malware.
- Scare tactics. Fake scans, fake warnings, or countdowns to pressure you into paying.
- Caught selling your data. A regulator, court or public investigation showed it sold or shared user data or connections without clear consent.
- No spending cap. For developer services: no way to stop a surprise bill.
- Renewal trap. For developer services: renewal costs more than twice the first year, or privacy protection is extra.
