Notes for the editorial team:
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 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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. Submissions are handled manually by email so the site can stay lightweight while traffic and paid demand are still developing.
FAQ
Do I need to create an account?
No. AI Tool Finder currently uses email-based submission and manual review.
Is free vendor placement still available?
No guaranteed free vendor placement is offered. Unpaid corrections or source updates may be reviewed when they improve an existing page, but vendor-requested listings, article insertions, and sponsored visibility should be scoped by email.
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. Relevance to the page and usefulness to readers matter more than the request itself.
