Submit to AI tool directories
Only if the product is genuinely AI-native — forced listings get rejected. Price the branch first: unlike the rest of 2.2, three of the four majors now charge a one-time review fee.

Inside this
- Submit to There’s An AI For That40m
The largest AI directory, task-based search. Its own pricing page lists $437 with a newsletter mention and $49 as the base listing (the layout is ambiguous about what the $49 covers); a third-party review reports a monthly X thread that picks one tool as the only free route.
- Submit to Futurepedia30m
Its listing and pricing pages returned 404 on 2026-11-10, so no price is confirmed; a third-party review puts a verified listing at $497. Check the price before you budget it.
- Submit to Toolify.ai30m
$99 and listed inside 48 hours according to third-party reviews; its own submit page shows no price but advertises a dofollow backlink, and reviews say at least six links. Public traffic trends make it competitive intel as well as a listing.
- Submit to Future Tools25m
The one that is still free — a plain form, reviewed by hand. Do this before paying anyone. Small, but disproportionately influential in the AI-tool press cycle.
