Submit your tool to AI Tools Up

AI Tools Up is a WordPress directory of AI tools with categories, votes and a newsletter. Free submissions go through a Tally form and wait in a queue; paid options list the tool within 24 hours.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free in a 30-day queue, or $19 fast track

Is AI Tools Up worth it?

Fine as a free AI-only listing with a followed link, if you can wait up to 30 days. The newest listings on the homepage were from September 2026, so activity looks slow. The $19 fast track is cheap, but the $249 tier is hard to justify given the conflicting audience figures on the submit page.

Who should submit to AI Tools Up?

Suits makers of tools with real AI features who want another free dofollow listing. Not a fit for software without AI, which the FAQ says is rejected, or for anyone expecting steady traffic from the listing.
