Submit your tool to AI Tool Discovery

AI Tool Discovery is a directory of AI tools for professionals, with category, profession and use case pages plus long guides. Submissions go through a Tally form with no account, and the free tier requires their badge on your homepage or footer.

Go to the submit page No link Free with a badge, or $29 once

Is AI Tool Discovery worth it?

Weak value for a link. On the listing pages checked, the Visit Website control is a button, not a link, so search engines see no link to your site, and several tool pages carry a noindex tag. You would place a link to them in your footer and get no crawlable link back. Consider the $29 Premium listing only if you want the newsletter and social mention and its referral clicks. For SEO, spend the effort elsewhere.

Who should submit to AI Tool Discovery?

Suits makers of finished AI tools aimed at professionals who want one more place to be found by people browsing by job or task. It does not suit anyone listing mainly for a backlink, products in alpha or beta, or makers who do not want to add a badge to their own homepage or footer.
