AI Tool FinderFree editorial consideration
Suggest a relevant tool with the form on this page, or send a factual correction by email. No fee is required. Inclusion and review timing depend on editorial fit and available capacity.
Submit a tool for free editorial consideration
Use this form to send a tool for manual editorial review. It is free, needs no account, and does not add your tool to the directory by itself. Sponsored listings, article placements and priority review are still arranged by email — see the prices and delivery terms.
Direct answer
To request free editorial consideration, use the submission form on this page with the tool name, homepage URL, closest existing category, short introduction, pricing or access model, optional screenshot or demo link, and a monitored contact email. Free means no fee and no promised publication date or inclusion. Sponsored listings, article placements, priority reviews, and contextual insertions are still reviewed by email first — write to [email protected]; if accepted, payment is handled by Stripe invoice before publication or activation.
Priority review
$49–$99 for an earlier written editorial decision. This does not buy publication. We confirm scope and a delivery date before invoicing.
Article or page placement
Best for companies requesting sponsored articles, existing-page insertions, or contextual mentions on high-intent AI tool pages.

Review and pricing guidance
AI Tool Finder separates editorial review from paid promotion. A paid request does not guarantee a top ranking, positive review, or inclusion if the product is irrelevant to the page. Sponsored content and placements must be useful to readers and may be labeled or linked according to our editorial policy.
| Request type | Typical use | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Free editorial consideration | Organic tool suggestion | No charge and no guaranteed deadline, inclusion, ranking or link treatment. Submit the same product evidence through the free form on this page. |
| Correction or source update | Reader-value accuracy update | Email the exact AI Tool Finder URL, official source, and requested correction. Reviewed when it improves page accuracy. |
| Priority review | Faster editorial review | Email first. If fit is accepted, payment is handled by invoice before review work begins. |
| Sponsored listing | New tool page or directory listing | Editorial fit check, invoice, then publication after payment and final approval. |
| Sponsored article | Guest article or buyer guide | Draft review first. Invoice after editorial approval. Publication after payment. |
| Existing page placement | Contextual mention in an existing guide | Quoted case by case based on page relevance, AI citation value, and editorial fit. |
Know what you are buying
Priority review buys a written decision: accepted, changes needed, or declined, with reasons. Sponsored listing buys the approved tool page and directory entry. Neither includes an article insertion or top position unless separately agreed.
Before payment, our email quote specifies the deliverable, price, due date, required materials, and cancellation or refund terms. The clock starts only after payment and complete materials. A free submission stays free unless you explicitly choose a paid service.
A negative priority-review decision is not a promise of publication. We explain how that outcome affects the fee before you pay. If a request is declined before invoicing, nothing is charged. Do not pay an invoice if its delivery or refund terms are unclear.
See starting prices and the delivery checklist. Published sponsors are identified; paid links use rel="sponsored". Optional listing badges and backlinks do not affect editorial approval.
Editorial quality bar
We prioritize tools that help readers make a useful shortlist. A submission is easier to approve when the homepage clearly explains what the product does, the category is specific, the pricing or access model is not misleading, and the screenshot evidence shows a real product workflow rather than only a marketing banner.
We may decline, quote, or delay placement requests for broken URLs, unclear positioning, thin landing pages, unverifiable claims, missing pricing, aggressive promotional copy, or products that do not match an existing AI Tool Finder category. If your tool is early-stage, explain what is live today and what is still planned.
No account system is currently required. Free submissions arrive through the form on this page and are reviewed manually; sponsored requests are still handled by email. The site stays lightweight while traffic and paid demand are still developing.
FAQ
Do I need to create an account?
No. Free submissions use the form on this page and are reviewed manually; corrections and paid placements stay on the email route.
Is free vendor placement still available?
Yes. Request free editorial consideration with the form on this page. Inclusion, timing, position and link treatment are not guaranteed; paying is not required for an organic editorial decision. Priority review and sponsored publication are separate optional services.
How do sponsored placements get paid?
We review the request first. If the placement is accepted, payment is handled by Stripe invoice before publication.
Can I send a full article draft?
Yes. Send the draft link, target topic, product URL, and disclosure expectations. The article must pass editorial review before invoicing or publication.
Can I request a link inside an existing guide?
Yes, but existing-page insertions are priced and approved case by case, and they are arranged by email rather than through the free form. Relevance to the page and usefulness to readers matter more than the request itself.
Does a free submission add my tool to the directory?
No. A free submission is a request for editorial consideration only. Nothing is added to the directory automatically, and inclusion, timing, ranking and link treatment are not guaranteed. Sponsored placements are separate paid services.
