What the free route requires

Free $0 listing requires a backlink to aibesttop.com on your site (pricing page: 'Backlink to our site is required').
Free listings are 'reviewed and listed within 72 hours' and offer 'publish your product the day you want'.

AI tool or service; directory is organized by user-category (e.g. SaaS Builders, Indie Hackers, Designers) and tags.
Account required: /submit redirects to a login page offering email/password plus Google and GitHub OAuth.

Account credentials (email, Google, or GitHub sign-in).
Product name, URL, description, category/tags.
A reciprocal backlink to aibesttop.com placed on your site before submitting on the free plan.
Decide plan: free (backlink, 72h review), Pro $9.9 (no backlink, featured placement, instant listing), or Sponsor $19.9/week (advertisement across pages).

Go to https://aibesttop.com/submit — you will be asked to log in or register first.
Choose a pricing plan on /pricing (free / pro / sponsor).
Fill the listing form (name, URL, description, category, tags).
On free, ensure the backlink is already live; expect review within 72 hours.
On Pro ($9.9), the listing publishes immediately and can be scheduled.

Submit page is a bare login wall — you cannot see the form until you create an account.
Free plan promises '3 dofollow links' but requires your reciprocal backlink; removing it likely delists you (standard for this boilerplate, though not stated verbatim).
Sponsor plan is $19.9 per week recurring — do not confuse with the one-time Pro.
Built with the same Luolink/Mkdirs directory boilerplate as several other directories — identical plan wording appears on collectai.tools and dayslaunch.com.

The tool has a public item page at aibesttop.com/item/<slug> reachable while logged out, appearing in category/search listings.
