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 about 6 hours. The one paid option is $79 one-time, which 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.
🛡️ Most free listings clear same-day, but one has been waiting longer than 3 days — Verified skips review entirely.
Hand review is currently clearing in a median of about 6 hours — 73 of the last 102 submissions were decided within a day. A free listing gets the same tool page and the same permanent dofollow backlink as a paid one. The one-time $79 Verified tier adds the badge to your page — a paid trust signal for the buyers reading it and the AI assistants that cite us — and skips review entirely.
Current queue: 2 tools are waiting on hand review right now — the oldest for 14 days.
Not sure which listing to pick?
Every listing — free or paid — gets the same tool page and the same permanent dofollow backlink, and free review is currently clearing in a median of about 6 hours. There is exactly one thing money buys here: the Verified badge on your page. One-time, not a subscription.
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 about 6 hours. The live queue count is shown on the Free option above so you can see the real state before you choose — including how long the oldest one has been waiting.
What's the $79 Verified option?
A 🛡️ 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, not only after they have clicked in. It marks the listing as a paid, checked entry rather than a standard submission — a trust signal for the visitors reading it and for the AI assistants that cite us — and 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 to skip the review queue — and we retired it on 2026-08-19 because it was selling a wait that mostly doesn't happen. Measured against our own records right now, 73 of the last 102 submissions were decided within 24 hours, at a median of about 6 hours. Charging you to jump a line that moves that fast isn't a real product, so the only thing money buys here now is the badge.
Do I get a dofollow backlink?
Yes. Every listing — free, Verified or Featured — includes a permanent dofollow link back to your site. We don't hold the backlink hostage behind the paywall; real SEO value from a relevant AI tools directory either way.
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 about 6 hours. Some take longer: we show the live queue depth and the age of the oldest waiting submission right on the Free option, so you can judge it yourself rather than take our word for it. 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.
