Paid only 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.

Requirements

  • AI tool must be fully operational with a functional website and clearly defined pricing
  • SFW only — NSFW tools not accepted
  • Generic names rejected (e.g. 'Free AI image generator', 'Best AI tool')
  • No free tier: AI Visa $49 one-time (editorial page, 1 direct link) or AI Passport $129 one-time (2 direct links, video embed, filter-page placement, homepage promotion, free profile updates)

Prepare before opening the form

  • Tool name (distinctive, not generic), URL, pricing model
  • Feature list, specific use cases, integrations, AI models used, compliance certifications — the editorial team writes your profile from this
  • Featured image/logo assets
  • Decide Visa vs Passport: Passport adds a second link, video embed, placement across matching filter pages (integrations/models/platforms/audience), and free future profile updates (Visa updates cost ~$25)

Workflow

  1. Open aitoolsexplorer.com/submit-ai-tool/ and fill the form (features, use cases, integrations, differentiators)
  2. Choose AI Visa ($49) or AI Passport ($129) and pay
  3. Editorial team builds the 'AI Passport/Visa' profile page; published within 24 hours
  4. Verify the dedicated profile page is live and placed on relevant category/filter pages

Watch for

  • Site 403-blocks automated fetches — form must be driven in a real browser
  • This is a paid-only destination; do not assume a free listing exists
  • AI Visa profile updates cost extra later; Passport includes them
  • Affiliate program pays 35% — expect affiliate-driven 'reviews' of the directory elsewhere

What counts as live

A dedicated editorial profile page for the tool resolves on aitoolsexplorer.com with direct link button(s) to the product site

Not verified

  • Refund/rejection policy if a paid submission fails review
  • Direct confirmation that Visa/Passport links are dofollow (third-party reports yes)
