Submit to AI Directories
Sergiu Chiriac's site, best known for a done-for-you service that submits your product to 100+ directories, also runs its own AI tools directory with a page per tool. Founders use the listing for a followed link and the service to save submission time. The free listing is a badge-for-link trade; paid listings skip the badge.

How to submit to AI Directories
Open the AI Directories submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
AI Directories asks you to sign up before you can submit.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse AI Directories (AI enthusiasts and founders browsing AI tools), not for search engines.
Decide on the link back
They ask for a link or badge on your site. Decide whether you’re happy to add it before you submit.
Wait for review
A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.
Tips for AI Directories
- Choose the 'Tool submission' tab on the pricing page; the default tab is the paid multi-directory submission service, which is a separate product.
- The free listing needs the AI Directories badge or a link on your homepage or footer, and the pricing page also asks for a minimum Domain Rating on your own site.
- The $9.99/month plan's listing is removed if you cancel, so the one-time Pro plan is the one to buy for a permanent badge-free link.
- Sign in first; submissions are made from the dashboard.
From AI Directories’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for AI tool directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- The main task your AI does, in one plain sentence (e.g. “turns podcasts into short clips”)
- Your pricing tiers, and whether there is a free plan or free trial
- Which models or providers you use, if you say so publicly
- 2–3 concrete use cases, each one sentence
Is AI Directories worth it?
Good for your SEO foundation
AI Directories reviews listings by hand and the listing link we inspected was followed. That combination is what makes a directory link worth having for a new site.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 71 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
- A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
- There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
- They ask for a link back to their site. One reciprocal link is common, but Google’s spam policies list excessive link exchanges as a problem, so don’t do this for every directory.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
