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
- Submission requires an account — login via Google, GitHub, or email is enforced before the submit form renders
- No public pricing for the base listing was visible; separate paid 'Promote Your Tool' and 'Guest Post' tabs exist at /tool/submit-new-tool?tab=promote
Requirements
- AI tools only — 'exclusively featuring high-quality, useful, and thoroughly tested tools' per the site
- Account required (Google / GitHub / email auth)
- Curated directory — submissions are reviewed, not auto-published
Prepare before opening the form
- A Google/GitHub/email account for login
- Tool name, URL, description, pricing model, logo/screenshots
- Relevant tags (directory organizes by 50+ tag pages like image-generation, video-creation) and profession fit
Workflow
- Go to https://eliteai.tools/tool/submit-new-tool ('Launch Your Tool' / 'Submit Your Tool' buttons)
- Log in or sign up (Google, GitHub, or email)
- Complete the submit-new-tool form (fields not publicly visible without auth)
- Submit for review and wait for the curated listing
- Optional paid routes: 'Promote Your Tool' tab and 'Guest Post' sub-tab on the same page
Watch for
- Entire submit flow is behind authentication — cannot be completed or even previewed without an account
- Separate paid promotion surface (?tab=promote) plus a guest-post upsell (?sub_tab=guest-blog-post) live inside the submit page
- Site claims 'thoroughly tested tools' — thin or non-functional products may be rejected
What counts as live
The tool appears on its tag/profession pages and is searchable via the site's AI-powered search
Not verified
- Whether a free listing tier exists or all listings are paid (freemium per catalog note, unconfirmed on site)
- Form fields behind the auth wall
- Review timeline and whether the listing link is dofollow
- Pricing for Promote Your Tool / Guest Post options
