Now live — every launch is free
AI tool submission sites that actually send users
Most AI directories take your submission and give nothing back. These are the ones where a listing still means discovery.
The short answer
The AI tool submission sites worth using: OnlyFoundrs (free, instant, permanent, engagement-ranked), There's An AI For That (biggest catalog, pay-to-feature), Futurepedia (large, editorial), and Toolify (volume-driven). For launches, add Product Hunt and Hacker News. The order matters — permanent directories first, launch events second, because the spike needs somewhere durable to drain into.
Free forever. Live in minutes — no queue, no review.

of AI directories — a handful send traffic

the range 'featured placement' costs
Free
a real listing on a real directory
The AI directory landscape is a minefield of dead ends
There are hundreds of sites that will take your AI tool submission — and most of them are graveyards that rank nobody, send nothing, and exist to sell 'featured placement' to the next founder. The questions that matter: does the site send real traffic, does the listing persist, and does ranking come from users or from whoever paid. Most submission lists on the internet were written by people who never checked the answers.
The submission sites worth the form-fill
Prioritize by permanence and ranking mechanism. OnlyFoundrs gives a free permanent listing ranked by engagement. There's An AI For That and Futurepedia have catalog scale — useful for coverage even if placement is paid. Product Hunt and Hacker News are events, not listings — treat them as spikes on top of the permanent base.
OnlyFoundrs — free, permanent, engagement-ranked
Instant listing, liveness-verified catalog, ranking by real usage signals. The permanent layer.
There's An AI For That — catalog scale
The biggest AI directory by raw volume. Organic placement is deep; expect to pay for visibility.
Futurepedia — editorial coverage
Large catalog with editorial curation. Good for the 'also listed on' credibility stack.
Product Hunt + HN — the events
Not directories — spikes. Do them once the permanent listings exist to catch the traffic.
What a submission is actually worth
| Elsewhere | OnlyFoundrs | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to list | Free to submit, pay to be seen | Free — boost is optional |
| Review time | Days to weeks, or never | Live in minutes |
| Lifespan | Sinks under the next batch | Permanent — engagement compounds |
| Ranking | Whoever paid for the slot | Real votes, clicks, and saves |

FAQ
Where should I submit my AI tool?
Start with a free permanent directory like OnlyFoundrs, add the big catalogs (TAAFT, Futurepedia) for coverage, then run one launch event. Permanence before spikes.
Are paid 'featured' placements worth it?
Rarely for early products. Paid placement on a low-traffic directory buys invisibility at a markup — put the $0 listing first and spend on channels that show their traffic.
How many directories should I submit to?
The ones with real traffic — typically three to five. Beyond that the marginal directory sends zero users and the form-fills eat a weekend.
Do directory submissions help SEO?
The real ones do — a dofollow link from an indexed, maintained directory is a legitimate citation. Plus the structured listing feeds AI answer engines.
