From WhatTheAI’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 WhatTheAI worth it?
A followed link, with a low bar
The listing link we inspected was followed, but we couldn’t confirm that anyone reviews listings. Directories that accept everyone tend to carry less weight, so treat it as a small plus, not a priority.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 37 (moderate). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #3,506,031: a small site, outside the top 1 million.
- There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
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.
