## Is ToolDirectory.AI worth it?

Hard to justify for links: the pricing page promises a do-follow link, but every listing checked used a nofollow or sponsored link through a redirect that robots.txt blocks. What you get is an edited listing on a large AI directory with real traffic potential. If you list, take the $150 lifetime plan, since the monthly plan's listing is removed when you cancel.

## Who should submit to ToolDirectory.AI?

Suits shipped AI products with a working public URL that want to appear in a curated, editor-written catalogue. Not for unreleased tools, products behind a login wall, non-AI software, or makers buying a dofollow backlink.

## What you need before you submit

- Listing fee: $9.99 a month or $150 lifetime
- Tool name, working public URL and pricing tier
- A shipped product, no staging URLs or login walls
- Some third-party signal, not only founder-written copy

## How to submit

1. Open the submit page and enter name, URL and pricing tier
2. Optionally add features, social links, logo, images and a YouTube video
3. Choose the listing plan and any add-ons
4. Pay at Stripe checkout
5. Wait for editorial review, median 5 working days

## Pros

- Editor-written listing with a dated review note
- Large AI catalogue, the site says 2,888 tools in 45 categories
- Rejected submissions get the fee refunded, per the refund policy
- Optional YouTube video and gallery on the listing

## Cons

- Outbound link is nofollow or sponsored, through a redirect blocked in robots.txt
- Monthly plan listing comes down when you cancel
- Add-ons cost $150 to $300 each
- Editors may rewrite your copy, category and tags

## Tips

- Make your homepage clear, since editors draft the listing from it
- Check the checkout total before paying, add-ons add up
- Prefer the lifetime plan over the subscription
- Have reviews or press ready, founder-only copy can get declined
