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

Requirements

  • Tool must be functional and publicly accessible
  • Submitter must have the right to submit the tool
  • Submissions accepted only in the exact JSON format shown on the page (id, name, image, category, price, description, features, use_cases, likes, dislikes, tags, url)
  • Category must match one of the site's existing categories (Advertising, AI Assistants, Code, SEO, Writing, etc.)
  • Price must be exactly one of: Free, Freemium, Paid
  • Manual review before listing; page states both '48 hours' review and '3-5 business days' response

Prepare before opening the form

  • Tool name, URL, and a unique lowercase-hyphenated id
  • 2-3 sentence description of purpose and benefits
  • 5-10 key features and 5-10 use cases as arrays
  • Logo/icon image (PNG preferred) and an interface screenshot
  • Matching category from the site's fixed list

Workflow

  1. Compose the tool record in the exact JSON schema published on submit-tool.html
  2. Open https://aitoolspin.com/submit-tool.html and use the embedded submission form (renders via 'Loading submission form...' widget)
  3. Wait for manual review; the site says it contacts you within 3-5 business days

Watch for

  • Directory is very small (homepage shows only ~15 tools) — likely a low-traffic side project
  • Contradictory review windows on the same page (48 hours vs 3-5 business days)
  • Field names in 'Required JSON Format' and 'Field Requirements' sections disagree (features vs key_features, use_cases counts) — follow the JSON example literally
  • Embedded form did not render in the fetched text — the actual form endpoint is unverified
  • Separate 'Advertise' page exists; paid promotion is distinct from the free listing route

What counts as live

The tool appears in the directory grid on aitoolspin.com with its card (name, category, price tag) and its URL is reachable from the listing

Not verified

  • Underlying form provider and whether the embedded form still works
  • Actual review turnaround and acceptance rate
  • Whether listings include a dofollow link
