## Is AI Search (ai-search.io) worth it?

Expensive for a directory listing. The listing pages checked in November 2026 had a Website link with no rel attribute and an index, follow robots tag, so the link is followed. The site says it has over 2.3M monthly users, which, if accurate, is far more reach than most AI directories. Worth it mainly for funded AI products that want a strong followed link and a page in a large AI search index. Bootstrapped makers can get similar links far cheaper elsewhere.
