About
ToolRoots is a directory where people search for software alternatives made in their country or region. Makers submit their tool with a name, tagline, country of origin, screenshot and URL. The directory then lists the tool and fills in additional details that you can edit.
You can list for free by installing a badge on your homepage, which ToolRoots verifies daily. If the badge stays up, your listing remains live and you get a dofollow backlink. Alternatively, pay once for Premium to skip the badge requirement, go live instantly, and keep a permanent dofollow backlink regardless of badge status.
The directory has 150 tools listed across 35 countries. Browse by country of origin or by the tool you want to replace, such as Zapier, Stripe, Mailchimp or AWS. Each listing shows where the software was made and where it is hosted.
ToolRoots is a directory of local software alternatives where people search by country of origin or by the tool they want to replace. Makers submit their product with basic details, then either install a free badge on their homepage or pay $9 for a premium listing without one. The directory verifies listings daily, keeping tools live as long as they meet requirements. Each listing includes where the software was made and where it's hosted, plus a permanent dofollow backlink for premium entries.

- Problem
- People want to use software made in their country or region, but most directories don't organize by geography or verify where tools are actually made and hosted.
- Solution
- ToolRoots lets you browse software by country of origin and hosting region, then submit your own tool with verified location details for free or as a one-time Premium listing.
