Submit your tool to IndieAI

IndieAI is a directory of AI tools built by indie developers, small teams and solo founders. You sign in with Google, fill a short form and pick one of three paid plans, and the listing goes live after payment.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link $29, $69 or $99 once

Is IndieAI worth it?

Worth $29 if you build an AI product as a solo founder or small team and want a followed link from a niche directory. The Visit button on listing pages carried no rel value when checked, so the link is followed. Recent listings lean heavily toward AI video meme generators, so expect little targeted traffic for B2B or developer tools. Pay for Premium or Unlimited only if the homepage or banner slot fits a launch week.

Who should submit to IndieAI?

Suits indie makers of AI products who want a quick, permanent, followed listing and can spend $29. It suits less well anyone outside AI, larger companies that do not fit the indie bar, and makers looking for a free option, since the current submit form only offers paid plans.
