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 $0 plan requires a backlink to collectai.tools on your site.
- Free listings are 'reviewed and listed within 72 hours' and offer scheduled publish dates; 'Permanent link with backlink maintenance' implies ongoing checks.
Requirements
- AI tools; directory categories include Writing & Content, Image & Design, Video & Audio, Development, Business, Productivity, Data & Research, Education.
- Sign In present beside Submit — account likely required.
Prepare before opening the form
- Product name, URL, description, category/tags.
- Reciprocal backlink to collectai.tools live on your site for the free plan.
- Plan choice: free $0 (backlink, 72h) / pro $9.9 (no backlink, featured top placement, social+newsletter share) / sponsor $19.9/week (site-wide promotion).
Workflow
- Go to https://collectai.tools/submit (sign in if prompted).
- Choose plan per /pricing.
- Fill the tool submission form.
- Free: backlink live first, then expect review/listing within 72 hours.
Watch for
- 'Permanent link with backlink maintenance' — the free listing depends on the backlink persisting.
- Sponsor is $19.9 per WEEK recurring — not one-time.
- Same Luolink/Mkdirs boilerplate wording as aibesttop.com and dayslaunch.com — generic plan text.
- Sponsor slot limit ('only one advertisement per period') is scarcity marketing.
What counts as live
A public item page at collectai.tools/item/<slug> visible in search/category listings.
Not verified
