Conditional free route ai-directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- FAQ states 'you can submit your AI tool' for free, but the two published listing options are paid: Standard Listing $9.99 (72h review) and Priority Listing $29 (36h review, verified badge, boosted ranking)
- Sign-in is required to submit ('Sign in to submit now' — Google login)
- Free submission, if available, has no stated review time — the published SLAs belong to the paid tiers
Requirements
- AI-powered products only — 'AI must be an important part of the product'
- Product must be live and publicly accessible with a working website and signup flow
- Website must clearly explain what the product does and use HTTPS
- Information must be accurate and original — copied descriptions risk rejection or slower review
- No malware, deceptive claims, or prohibited/NSFW content
- Submit each product separately — one listing per tool
Prepare before opening the form
- Tool name and website URL
- Original short product description (do not copy homepage copy)
- Pricing information
- Most relevant category
- Screenshot of the tool's website at 1024x768, JPG or PNG only
- A valid founder or company email address
- Google account for sign-in
Workflow
- Go to https://victrays.com/submit-ai-tool/ ('Submit Your Tool' in nav)
- Sign in (Google login offered)
- Enter tool name, website, original description, pricing, categories, and the 1024x768 screenshot
- Choose a listing option: Standard ($9.99, 72h) or Priority ($29, 36h + verified badge + boosted ranking + 'instant indexing'); the FAQ implies a free submit exists but no free tier is shown in the options
- Wait for review — Victrays checks the product is live, genuinely AI, and meets guidelines
- On approval the tool gets a dedicated page + category placement and you get a confirmation email
- To update the listing later, contact the Victrays team with the listing URL
Watch for
- Contradictory pricing: FAQ says submission is free but both named 'listing options' are paid — treat the free path as a slow/unscheduled queue at best
- Login is via Google OAuth only (popup)
- Screenshot spec is strict: 1024x768 JPG/PNG
- Category page copy heavily promotes 'featured badge' — the paid Priority tier is pushed hard
- Updates are manual via email contact, not a dashboard
What counts as live
A dedicated tool page exists under victrays.com (linked from /ai-tools/ and category pages) with description, pricing, and screenshot
Not verified
- Whether a genuinely free listing tier still exists and its review time (FAQ and pricing blocks contradict)
- Whether listing links are dofollow (catalog note says follow; unconfirmed)
- Whether the verified badge is paid-only
