Conditional free route 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.

What the free route requires

  • Free submission exists but requires account registration; third-party reports manual review of ~3–7 days

Requirements

  • AI tools and indie products — 'everyone can contribute to our AI tools list. Simply add your product'
  • Account registration required before submitting
  • Free tier is a plain listing; paid promotion (featured day, newsletter slot, top placement) is a separate menu

Prepare before opening the form

  • Account on owwly.com
  • Product name, short description, category (site uses playful category tags like 🦄 AI, 🏀 Illustrations, 🍎 Apple)
  • Cover image (JPG/GIF options mentioned for promos)
  • Product URL

Workflow

  1. Register on owwly.com (JS app — needs a real browser)
  2. Add your product via the submission flow
  3. Free listing waits for manual review (~3–7 days per third-party guide)
  4. Paid options if wanted: newsletter feature ~$29, 'land on the top' $179–$659, promo day ~$99–$129

Watch for

  • Site is fully JS-rendered — no plain-HTML form; automation needs a browser
  • Stripe is integrated — expect paid upsells inside the submit flow
  • Marketing is indie-hacker flavored ('land on the top'); paid placements are the business model, so free listings may be deprioritized
  • Third-party reports no backlink requirement and no CAPTCHA

What counts as live

The product appears in https://owwly.com/products/all or its category with a /product/<slug>-<id> detail page

Not verified

  • Whether free listings still get approved promptly (review-staff dependency)
  • Whether outbound links are dofollow (third-party claims dofollow)
  • Exact free-form field list inside the app
