Submit Your AI Tool
Get your AI tool in front of thousands of developers, marketers, and creators — plus the AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity) that cite us. Listing is free and includes a permanent dofollow backlink, with hand review currently clearing in a median of under an hour. The one paid option is $79 one-time, which runs the full 12-point AI-visibility scan on your tool and emails you the report, adds the 🛡️ Verified badge to your page and to your name in every browse grid, and skips review entirely. No subscription either way.
Four fields is all we need: your tool's name, its URL, a category and an email. Paste the URL and hit Autofill from my website and we'll draft the description, features and pricing from your own site — you just read them over and fix anything that's off.
🛡️ Free listings publish fast — the AI-visibility scan of your own tool and the badge are what money buys.
The one-time $79 Verified tier scans your tool's AI visibility and emails you the report, adds the badge to your page, and skips review entirely.
Hand review is currently clearing in a median of under an hour — 275 of the last 319 submissions were decided within a day. The queue is empty right now — nothing else is waiting on hand review. A free listing gets the same tool page and the same permanent dofollow backlink as a paid one.
What the $79 actually buys
A 12-point AI-visibility scan of your own tool, emailed to you — the same report sold at $9 — plus the Verified badge beside your name in every grid, and no review queue. Free listings wait on hand review — currently in a median of under an hour, and longer whenever the queue grows a tail. Verified skips review completely and publishes within minutes of payment. One-time, not a subscription.
Everything else is the same either way — free listings get the same tool page and the same permanent dofollow backlink, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
Want a monthly placement instead — priority position, homepage slots, a review article? Featured plans start at $19/mo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really free to list?
Yes. A free listing gets your own tool page with description, features, pricing, and a permanent dofollow backlink — the same page a paid listing gets. Free submissions are reviewed by hand, currently in a median of under an hour. Right now the queue is empty, and the Free option above says so — we show the live count either way rather than asking you to take our word for it.
What's the $79 Verified option?
It runs our full 12-point AI-visibility scan against your tool the moment you pay — the same scan sold on its own at $9 — and emails you the report: which prompts named you, which named a competitor instead, and the exact wording the model used. That is the part a free listing structurally cannot include, because every run costs us real money. On top of it you get the 🛡️ Verified badge on your tool page and beside your name in the browse, category and newest-tool grids, so it is on screen while a buyer is still choosing between you and the tools next to you. It skips hand review, so the page publishes within minutes of payment. It's a one-time fee, not a subscription, and the listing doesn't expire.
Why isn't there a cheaper paid tier?
There was — $39, sold purely as "skip the review queue" — and we retired it on 2026-08-19. Measured against our own records right now, 275 of the last 319 submissions were decided within 24 hours, at a median of under an hour. A tier whose entire pitch was speed couldn't be honestly priced against a queue moving that fast, so we cut it rather than keep charging for it. Verified is a different purchase: it scans your tool's AI visibility and sends you the report — something we cannot hand to every listing because each run costs us money — and the badge and instant publishing come with it.
Do I get a dofollow backlink?
Yes. Every listing — free, Verified or Featured — includes a permanent dofollow link back to your site from a relevant AI tools directory; the link is never held behind the paywall. What Verified adds on top is the AI-visibility scan of your own tool and the report that comes with it, plus the 🛡️ badge on the page that link points at.
How fast does my listing go live?
Free listings are reviewed by hand — you get an email with the live URL as soon as yours publishes, currently in a median of under an hour. Some take longer when a backlog builds, so we show the live queue depth right on the Free option — it is empty as of right now. Verified ($79) skips review entirely and publishes automatically within minutes of payment.
What's your refund policy?
Because listings publish instantly and are yours to keep permanently, we don't offer refunds once a listing is live. If something's broken on our end — payment succeeded but no listing appeared — email shibley@apistatuscheck.com and we'll fix it or refund you, no argument.
Can I edit my listing after it's live?
Yes — email shibley@apistatuscheck.com with the changes (description, pricing, features, logo) and we'll update it.
What's the difference between this and Featured?
A directory listing (free or $79 Verified) gets you in with search/category visibility, permanently, for a one-time price or nothing at all. Featured plans (from $19/mo) are a subscription that adds priority placement, a Featured badge, and — on higher tiers — homepage placement and a dedicated review article.
