Conditional free route ai-directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free $0 listing requires an AIHuntList badge or text link on your site to verify submission eligibility.
- Free submissions wait in a queue — 'currently about 1 week' per the pricing page; FAQ states approximately 72 hours to 1 week.
Requirements
- Product must be an AI product/tool/app for the AI tools directory.
- Content policy: explicit adult content, nudity, deepfakes, illegal material, or gambling are strictly prohibited.
- Account required — /submission/new shows a login page (email sign-in, Google, GitHub) before the form.
Prepare before opening the form
- Account (email, Google, or GitHub).
- Product name, URL, description, category.
- For free submission: AIHuntList badge or text link already placed on your site.
- Pricing decision: Free (badge + ~1 week queue) / Fastpass $6.9 (skip queue, 24h review, no backlink) / Featured $9.9 (featured placement ≥1 month) / Sponsored $69.9 (blog coverage).
Workflow
- Go to https://aihuntlist.com/submission/new and sign in (email, Google, or GitHub).
- Complete the submission form with product details.
- Choose plan on /pricing: Go Submit for Free (badge required) or a paid tier.
- Free: wait in the review queue (about 1 week). Paid: expedited editorial review normally within 24 hours.
- Listing is published as a permanent directory profile after editorial review.
Watch for
- Free plan requires the backlink/badge — it is used 'to verify submission eligibility'; paid plans make the backlink optional.
- Paid purchases are a 'one-off digital service'; once a listing passes review and publishes it is non-refundable (rejection under content policy gets 100% refund).
- No guarantee of traffic or rankings is made — do not over-promise SEO value.
- Sale pricing shown ($6.9 struck from $29.9, etc.) is promotional; base prices may differ.
- Sponsored tier bundles blog editorial coverage — an upsell, not needed for a basic listing.
What counts as live
A permanent product profile page exists under aihuntlist.com/tool/<slug> and appears in its category listing.
Not verified
- Exact form fields behind the login wall.
- Whether badge/link verification is automated or manual.
- Whether the discounted prices are permanent or time-limited promotions.
