AI Launch Space
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 Standard listing requires adding the AI Launch Space badge to your site; it is verified automatically and only then does your listing carry a dofollow backlink.
- Free listings go through admin review of 24–48 hours before appearing in the directory.
Requirements
- Legitimate, digitally delivered products only: SaaS, web/mobile apps, AI tools, developer tools, no-code/low-code platforms and templates, productivity/marketing/design/business software.
- Must be a working, publicly accessible product — no placeholder, teaser, waitlist, or 'coming soon' pages.
- Must be owned by you or submitted with the owner's authorization; accurate info and a functioning website.
- Prohibited: adult/NSFW (incl. AI companions), deepfakes/impersonation, IP-infringement & piracy (watermark removers, AI-detection evaders), fake engagement/spam/scraping tools, gambling/chance mechanics, crypto & unlicensed financial products, regulated health/pharma/wellness, physical goods & manual services (freelancing/agency), illegal or harmful products.
Prepare before opening the form
- Working public product URL — waitlist/coming-soon pages are rejected.
- Badge embed ready on your site if taking the free route (verified automatically).
- Project name, tagline, description, category, pricing model (Free/Freemium/Paid shown on listings).
- Plan choice: Standard free (badge, 24–48h review) / Premium $4.99 per launch (no badge, featured, priority) / Sponsor $29/mo / Promote ads from $9/mo.
Workflow
- Go to https://ailaunch.space/submit (Submit Project in nav/footer) — a client-side form on the DirectoryLaunch boilerplate.
- Fill project details and submit for review.
- Free tier: install the badge so automated verification passes; admin review takes 24–48h.
- If rejected, they email the reason and you may fix and resubmit.
- Premium $4.99/launch skips the queue, drops the badge requirement, and adds featured placement plus newsletter featuring.
Watch for
- Strict content policy mirrors payment-provider acceptable-use — borderline categories (AI companions, trading signals, supplements, scrapers) will be rejected or later removed.
- Approved listings can be removed later if they fall out of compliance.
- Free listing's dofollow link exists only while the badge is verified.
- Submit page body did not render to a plain fetch (JS form) — expect a browser-driven form.
- Directory is run by a solo operator ('Made by Alex Osso') and cross-links a family of sister sites.
What counts as live
The project has a public page at ailaunch.space/project/<slug> appearing in the Browse/Latest Projects grid.
Not verified
- Exact submit-form fields (JS-rendered).
- Whether an account is required to submit.
- Whether badge reverification is periodic and what happens on removal (delisting vs nofollow).
