279 AI tool directories you can submit to

Where this list comes from

We compiled it from several public lists of AI and startup directories, then visited every entry ourselves with a browser on October 2, 2026. We dropped anything that was dead, parked, unreachable, redirected to a different service, or had no way to submit a listing — newsletters, waitlists and contact forms that only sell ads. What remains is the set where a maker can actually open a submit page today. Sites change often, so treat a row as a starting point, not a promise.

Price is what we saw, not what a directory says about itself elsewhere. "Free" means we saw a free option on the page or got a listing accepted without paying. "Unconfirmed" means the form went to a plan step we could not see past, so we do not call it free. Many free directories still offer a paid fast-track — you can decline it.

DR* is the Domain Rating figure carried by the public lists we compiled from. We did not measure it, it goes stale, and a dash means no source had one — we never fill it in. Sign-up and Captcha are what our own visit ran into.

How to work through it

Write your listing once before you start: a name, a one-line tagline, a 40–80 word description, a square logo, a screenshot and your pricing model. Most forms ask for some mix of those, and pasting the same copy everywhere keeps your brand consistent across listings. Start with the free, no-account rows — they take a couple of minutes each. Keep a simple sheet of where you submitted and when, because many directories review by hand and publish days or weeks later. Expect some never to reply. Directory links are rarely a big traffic source on their own, but together they help people and AI assistants find your tool by name.

Every link on this page goes straight to the directory, tagged ?ref=aisotools and marked nofollow. We are not paid by any directory listed here, and the order is price first, then DR.
