Launch day plan

Launch platforms feature a new product on a set day, often with voting. Pick one, prepare your assets, and post early in their cycle so you get a full day of visibility. Then list permanently on the directories that keep a searchable page.

AI directories FAQ

What are AI directories?

AI directories are websites that list AI tools by category so people can discover, compare and try them. Founders submit their products to get in front of those visitors. Some are free to submit to, some charge a listing fee, and some run launch days that feature new tools.

Where should I submit my AI tool first?

Start with three to five directories that match your category, accept AI tools and offer a free or low-cost listing. Read the listing page before you submit so your entry is complete the first time. Save launch platforms for when you have a working demo, a launch date and people ready to give feedback.

Where do the traffic and authority numbers come from?

Each number shows its source and the date we checked it. Traffic, authority and AI-citation data comes from Ahrefs (pulled 8 Oct 2026), and link types are checked by opening real listings or reading the site's terms. If we could not confirm a number, we leave it blank.

Can I suggest a directory?

Yes. Use the suggestion form and tell us which directory founders should know about. We check every suggestion by hand, and add a directory only when it is live, accepts submissions and fits founders of AI tools or SaaS.

What is the difference between AI directories and SaaS directories?

AI directories focus on AI products such as writing, image, video and agent tools. SaaS directories cover software more broadly, often with reviews, comparisons and alternatives pages. Many AI tools fit both, so this list groups directories by type to help you pick the right mix.

Do AI directories help my product get found?

A good listing puts your product in front of people already looking for tools like yours, and some directories send steady referral visits. A listing is not a ranking shortcut. Choose directories where your buyers browse, and keep your listing accurate.
