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 software tools only — directory is explicitly 'artificial intelligence software' across 11 categories
  • Homepage states 'Free to list. No paid placements' and 'free forever for users and creators'
  • Listings include verified pricing models, role tags, killer features, pros & cons — expect data-verification style review

Prepare before opening the form

  • Tool name, URL, and description
  • Category pick (coding, ai-agents, writing, image-gen, video-tools, marketing, productivity, design, research, chatbots, voice-ai)
  • Role tags (developer, student, marketer, founder, designer, content-creator, freelancer)
  • Pricing model (Free / Freemium / Paid / Free Trial) with accurate details — pricing is 'verified'
  • Killer features plus honest pros & cons

Workflow

  1. Open https://www.usefuturestack.com/submit — page is client-rendered; use a real browser
  2. Complete the submission form (site claims listing is free)
  3. Submitted tools appear on /tools/[slug] pages and in category/role listings after review

Watch for

  • The /submit page returned only nav chrome to a text fetcher — the form is JS-only; an automated agent needs browser rendering or DOM inspection to complete it
  • Documented MCP/OpenAPI surface is read-only — no public API submission endpoint is published
  • Possibly account-gated: nav shows notifications/subscribe elements; sign-in requirement unverified
  • Community upvotes drive ranking; a fresh listing starts at zero

What counts as live

A /tools/<slug> page exists for the product on usefuturestack.com and it appears in its category listing

Not verified

  • Exact form fields on /submit (JS-rendered, not readable as text)
  • Whether an account is required to submit
  • Review process and turnaround
  • Whether an undocumented write API exists beyond the published read-only MCP methods
