That AI Collection
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 tools only — hand-checked AI directory (4,000+ tools)
- Publishing costs $19 or a promotion plan starting at $10 — no free route
- Hard rejections: NSFW/AI companions, face-swap/deepfakes, voice cloning, watermark removal, bulk scraping/lead harvesting/spam automation, academic cheating, surveillance/stalkerware
- Paid listing includes: dedicated indexed page, do-follow link, 'Latest Additions' homepage + GitHub feature, and ability to publish a product-review blog post
Prepare before opening the form
- AI tool URL — 'Submit with AI' can auto-draft the listing from the URL
- Details, pricing plans info, images for the 4-step form (Details → Additional Information → Pricing Plans → Finish)
- $19 payment (or $10+ promotion plan)
- Contact [email protected] for multi-app discounts or fixes
Workflow
- Open https://thataicollection.com/submit/
- Optionally use 'Submit with AI' (paste URL, AI drafts the listing — review/edit every field) or fill manually
- Complete the 4-step wizard; progress persists in localStorage so you can resume
- Pay $19 (or pick a promotion plan) on the payment step
- Listing publishes as an indexed tool page; appears in 'Latest Additions'
Watch for
- Seed 'pricing: paid' confirmed — there is no zero-cost option
- Don't try to sneak banned categories under other labels — they check every submission
- Edits go through email ([email protected]); self-serve editing is only 'on the roadmap'
- Promotion plans are sold separately from/after the base listing
What counts as live
The tool has a dedicated indexed page on thataicollection.com and appears in 'Latest Additions' on the homepage/GitHub
Not verified
- Exact promotion-plan tiers and prices (revealed on payment page post-submission)
- Turnaround between payment and publish
- Whether the 'AI Collection' GitHub repo listing is automatic
