Conditional free route ai-directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

What the free route requires

  • Free tier exists but sits in a 30-60 day manual-review queue
  • Per Submitator's read of /finish, the free route asks for a reciprocal link back to aitoolnet.com
  • $9.9 one-time skips the queue entirely (24h listing); $49.9 adds 7 days of homepage/category featuring

Requirements

  • AI tools only — 'not newsletters or directories'; those links are rejected
  • Search the site first — duplicates must not be resubmitted
  • Manual review of every tool; they reserve the right to remove even approved products
  • ~8-field submission form; paid tier checks out via PayPro Global

Prepare before opening the form

  • Tool name, URL, logo, description, category
  • Check aitoolnet.com search to confirm the tool isn't already listed
  • For free route: willingness to place a reciprocal link; for paid: card/PayPro Global checkout
  • A real browser — the site is behind Cloudflare and 403s plain fetches

Workflow

  1. Search the site for your tool first (duplicate check)
  2. Open https://www.aitoolnet.com/submit in a browser
  3. Fill the ~8-field form
  4. Choose free (30-60 day queue, reciprocal link) or pay $9.9 for 24h listing / $49.9 for featured
  5. Paid submissions complete PayPro Global checkout; listing goes live within ~24h
  6. Verify the next day by finding the tool page on the site

Watch for

  • Cloudflare challenge blocks automated fetches — submission needs a real/headed browser
  • Free queue is long (30-60 days) and may require a reciprocal link per /finish
  • FAQ promises a refund but Submitator notes it's absent from the Terms — treat paid refunds as unguaranteed
  • Sampled listings had plain links with no rel=nofollow (dofollow in practice), but that can change

What counts as live

The tool has its own indexable aitoolnet.com page (with an /alternative twin) reachable via search/categories

Not verified

  • Whether the reciprocal-link requirement applies to all free submissions or is optional
  • Exact free-tier field list behind the Cloudflare wall
  • Whether nofollow is applied to any tier
