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 that fits the directory's categories (image, business, automation, productivity, video, art, text, audio, code)
  • Third-party reporting says the free tier was dropped — listing runs $247 one-time (basic, frequently sold out) or $497 verified with editorial review and a click guarantee
  • Every submission is editorially reviewed; listed tools get a product page under /tool/<slug>

Prepare before opening the form

  • Square logo (256×256+), tagline under ~60 chars, ~100-word benefit-led description
  • 3–5 screenshots (~1280×800), pricing details, demo video link if available
  • Correct category choice across Futurepedia's taxonomy
  • Budget approval for the paid listing tier

Workflow

  1. There is no public free submit form — start from futurepedia.io/contact or the paid-listing flow reached via their contact/advertise route (old /submit-tool 404s)
  2. Choose a listing tier ($247 basic or $497 verified per third-party reports — confirm current pricing on the form)
  3. Submit product details + media; editorial team reviews
  4. Existing listings can be updated via /update-a-tool

Watch for

  • The batch's free/'submit-tool' claim is stale — the route is gone and third parties report paid-only since 2026
  • Outbound links from listings are reported as nofollow — value is the audience/newsletter, not link equity
  • $247 tier is frequently 'sold out' — the real entry price may effectively be $497
  • Advertiser disclosure on the site notes compensated links — editorial listings still get reviewed

What counts as live

The tool has a public page at futurepedia.io/tool/<slug> appearing in its category and site search

Not verified

  • Current exact pricing — not published on a public page (contact form required)
  • Editorial acceptance criteria and turnaround
  • Whether the Update a Tool form can be used to request a new listing
