AI Listing
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
- A dedicated submit page exists at /submit-tool/ but the page mixes 'Submit Your Tool' with 'Showcase and Advertise with Us' — a paid advertising route is co-located and the free path's specifics are not visible (site rate-limited automated fetches)
- Catalog note says freemium — consistent with a free submission plus paid showcase/advertising
Requirements
- AI tools only — curated directory across 87 categories
- Submissions are curated ('contribute your AI tools'), not auto-published
Prepare before opening the form
- Tool name, URL, description, category, logo/screenshots, pricing
- Contact email for follow-up
Workflow
- Open https://ailisting.ai/submit-tool/ in a browser (the site returned 429 to automated fetching — space requests or use a real browser)
- Complete the submission form
- Optionally explore the 'Showcase and Advertise with Us' paid placements
- Watch for the listing in the directory (1544+ tools, searchable on the homepage)
Watch for
- Site aggressively rate-limits (HTTP 429) — automated agents should throttle or use a browser
- The submit page doubles as an advertising pitch — expect a paid upsell mid-flow
- Marketing copy is heavy on enthusiasm, light on concrete rules — no published eligibility or timeline
What counts as live
The tool is searchable/browsable on ailisting.ai within its category
Not verified
- Exact form fields and whether account signup is required
- Whether a free listing is dofollow (catalog note says follow; unconfirmed)
- Review timeline and rejection criteria
- Pricing of the 'Showcase and Advertise' options
