Free review with a backlink · $99 enhanced profile · Sponsorship

Submit an AI tool or request sponsored placement

New free requests need a verified website backlink before editorial review; no publication date is promised. The $99 profile includes secure Stripe checkout and publication within 5 business days after payment and complete materials. Editorial fit is required; declined submissions receive a full refund. Payment does not affect editorial acceptance or ranking. Articles and guides remain separately quoted. Free submissions are never charged.

Submit a tool or request a sponsored quote

No account is needed. Choose free review with a backlink, a $99 enhanced profile with secure Stripe checkout, or an article or guide quote. Article and guide payments follow an agreed written scope and invoice. Every listing is reviewed before publication. See the prices and delivery terms.

Free review costs $0 and requires a backlink verification URL. The $99 profile continues to Stripe checkout; you are charged only when you complete payment there. Articles and guides remain quote requests.

Required for paid requests. Free editorial consideration does not need a package.

Confirm or change the guide you want to discuss. This is not a reservation or a package selection. For another guide, mention its title in your introduction.

Submitting does not publish a page automatically. Free requests wait for backlink verification before editorial review. Paid $99 orders enter the publication queue after Stripe confirms payment. Article and guide requests still receive a written quote before invoicing. Corrections and follow-up questions can still use email. See the privacy note.

Choose the scope you need

Free inclusion creates a factual tool profile only. It never includes placement in any ranking, roundup or guide. Article and guide sponsorships remain separately quoted. The $99 enhanced profile adds best-fit uses, one supplied image and one factual-correction round.

Free editorial consideration

Suggest a relevant tool with the form on this page, or send a factual correction by email. No fee is required. New free submissions require a link on your website, verified by our team before editorial review. Inclusion and timing depend on editorial fit and available capacity.

Sponsored tool profile

$99 one-time for the enhanced product-page package, delivered within 5 business days after payment and complete materials. No existing roundup placement is included.

Article or page placement

Best for companies requesting sponsored articles, existing-page insertions, or contextual mentions on high-intent AI tool pages.

Know what you are buying

New free requests need a verified website backlink before editorial review; no publication date is promised. The $99 profile includes secure Stripe checkout and publication within 5 business days after payment and complete materials. Editorial fit is required; declined submissions receive a full refund. Payment does not affect editorial acceptance or ranking. Articles and guides remain separately quoted. Free submissions are never charged.

The $99 profile uses the fixed scope and refund terms shown above, accepted before Stripe checkout. For articles and guides, 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.

Paid listings that we decline receive a full refund. Quoted requests declined before invoicing have no charge. Free consideration is never invoiced.

See starting prices and the delivery checklist. Published sponsors are identified; paid links use rel="sponsored". New free requests require a badge or text link on your website and a placement URL for manual verification. This requirement does not apply to paid packages or submissions received before November 11, 2026. A backlink does not guarantee acceptance or ranking.

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 and paid profiles use this form. Backlinks and products are reviewed manually; successful Stripe payments are queued automatically. Article and guide enquiries are handled by email. The site stays lightweight while traffic and paid demand are still developing.

Link and badge code

For a new free request, add this text link to a public page on your product website, then paste that page's URL in the form. We accept a normal link or one marked nofollow; no tracking script is needed.

<a href="https://aitoolfinder.org/">AI Tool Finder</a>

After your profile is published, you can replace the text link with this badge. Use the exact profile URL we send you. The badge indicates a directory listing, not an award or endorsement.

Paid profiles do not require a backlink. Existing listings and applications received before November 11, 2026 keep their original terms.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lowest-priced published package?

The enhanced sponsored tool profile is $99 one-time, paid through secure Stripe checkout after you submit the required details and accept the scope. New free requests need a verified website backlink before editorial review; no publication date is promised. The $99 profile includes secure Stripe checkout and publication within 5 business days after payment and complete materials. Editorial fit is required; declined submissions receive a full refund. Payment does not affect editorial acceptance or ranking.

How long does a placement stay live?

Guide sponsorships run for 12 months from publication and do not renew automatically. Tool profiles and articles remain for at least 12 months, with no automatic removal or hosting fee afterwards. Permanence is not promised.

Does payment buy rankings or dofollow links?

No. Paid content is visibly labelled sponsored and paid external links use rel="sponsored". We do not guarantee editorial position, Google indexing, rankings, traffic, leads, sales or AI citations.

What must be agreed before payment?

The $99 profile is available through Stripe self-service checkout after you accept the fixed scope, delivery and refund terms. Articles, guide sponsorships and custom work require a written scope and invoice. An enquiry is not a booking.

What happens if I cancel?

The $99 profile receives a full refund on cancellation before publication. For quoted work, before editing starts, cancellation receives a full refund. After work starts, only previously agreed charges for completed work are deducted and the undelivered balance is refunded. No retrospective cancellation charges apply.

Can I request a smaller scope?

Yes. A smaller deliverable can be quoted separately in writing. It does not include the full standard package. Existing accepted orders retain their agreed scope and price.
