ShowMeBestAI
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.
Requirements
- AI tools only — the site is a dedicated AI tools directory
- Free listing tier exists ('FREE Listing $0') alongside paid BASIC ($9.99) and PRO ($49.99) tiers
- Free tier claims a dofollow backlink, basic AI tool page, limited category/search visibility, review in 24 hours
Prepare before opening the form
- AI tool name, URL, and description
- Category selection for the directory
- Payment details only if choosing the $9.99 Basic or $49.99 Pro upgrade
Workflow
- Open https://showmebest.ai/submit
- Choose the FREE listing tier ('Submit Now' under FREE $0) unless paid visibility is wanted
- Complete the submission form for the tool
- Await the stated 24-hour review
Watch for
- Two paid upsell tiers sit next to the free option — BASIC ($9.99, 1 dofollow backlink, listing forever) and PRO ($49.99, 5+ dofollow backlinks, featured for 6 months)
- PRO 'featured' placement is time-limited (6 months) despite the one-time fee framing
- Free tier offers 'limited' visibility in categories and search results
- Guest Post tab exists alongside Listing — confirm you are on the Listing tab
What counts as live
The tool appears as a public listing page on showmebest.ai and shows up in its category/search
Not verified
- Exact submission form fields (the submit page shows pricing tiers; the form itself is behind 'Submit Now')
- Whether the free tier's claimed dofollow backlink holds in practice
- Review/rejection criteria beyond the 24-hour review claim
