How It Works
AIToolIndex is an open directory — anyone can submit an AI tool for review.
Submission Steps
- Go to the Submit a Tool page
- Fill out the form with your tool’s details:
- Tool name and website URL
- Category and subcategories
- Pricing model and starting price
- Key features (up to 10)
- A short description (under 500 characters)
- Submit for review — our team reviews submissions within 48 hours
What We Look For
- The tool must be a legitimate, functioning AI product
- The website must be live and accessible
- Pricing information must be accurate and current
- The tool must fit into at least one of our 25 categories
After Submission
- Approved: Your tool appears in the directory within 24 hours of approval
- Needs changes: We’ll reach out with specific feedback
- Declined: Tools that don’t meet our criteria will receive an explanation
After You’re Listed: Add the Badge
Once your tool is live, grab the free “Featured on AI Tool Index” badge from the badge page and add it to your site’s footer, docs, or press page. The badge links to your listing, so visitors can read the full profile, pricing, and alternatives. It’s optional, and the embed code is ready to paste.
