Canonical HTML: https://gearpicked.com/directories/ Site index for AI tools: https://gearpicked.com/llms.txt # Best AI directories & startup directory list (2026) Last updated: 9–10 November 2026 (IST) Find relevant places to submit an AI tool, launch a startup or create a software profile—not just another list of backlink targets. This resource contains **106 source-checked listing routes**: 13 Tier 1, 38 Tier 2 and 55 Tier 3. **Last checked: 9–10 November 2026 (IST).** Unknown costs, link attributes and badge rules stay unknown; they are not filled from a roundup or AI answer. **Disclosure:** GearPicked sells [manual directory submission work](https://gearpicked.com/submit/). This is our own research, not an independent endorsement of our service. Use the entire resource free without buying anything. GearPicked appears on AIToolsRecap and LaunchBoosts; that relationship is disclosed in those rows and does not determine their tier. [Submit these first](#submit-first) · [Browse all 106](#directory-table) · [Methodology & exclusions](#methodology) · [Prepare your kit](#submission-kit) [**Free shortlist builder:** pick your product type and budget, get a ready-made tracker](https://gearpicked.com/directory-shortlist/) · [Download all 106 rows as CSV](https://gearpicked.com/directory-targets.csv) · [Track submission status](https://gearpicked.com/directory-submission-statuses/) · [Compare submission services](https://gearpicked.com/directory-submission-services-compared/) The voice in this video is AI-generated. It covers the same 156-route check described in the methodology below. [We Checked 156 AI and Startup Directories: 106 Made the List, 50 Didn't](https://youtu.be/1bz8F3r-oCc) (opens on YouTube). ## Submit these first: relevance before volume Choose a small shortlist by audience and readiness. You do not need to buy a paid listing or submit to all of these. The order below is a practical starting workflow, not a traffic league table. 1. **An AI-powered product:** check [Future Tools](https://www.futuretools.io/submit-a-tool) for editorial consideration. If budget is zero, the explicitly free routes at [AI Dust](https://aidust.io/submit-ai-tool/) and [Best of AI](https://bestofai.io/submit/) are useful alternatives. Publication is still discretionary. 2. **A launch-ready product with a story:** prepare a [Product Hunt page](https://www.producthunt.com/launch/preparing-for-launch) or eligible [Peerlist project](https://help.peerlist.io/individual/launchpad/how-to-launch-a-project-on-peerlist-launchpad). Screenshots and a working demo matter more than mass directory coverage. Peerlist requires a verified personal profile. 3. **Software replacing another tool:** research [AlternativeTo](https://alternativeto.net/about/terms/) and [SaaSHub](https://www.saashub.com/services/submit). Name genuine alternatives and respect eligibility rules. The AlternativeTo free queue can take months. 4. **B2B software with real customers:** consider [G2](https://sell.g2.com/plans) and [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/vendors/) for buyer discovery and authentic reviews. These are not generic startup backlink forms; a free profile does not guarantee an outbound link. 5. **Paid AI exposure only when justified:** [There's An AI For That](https://theresanaiforthat.com/submit/) states a $49 review option. [Toolify](https://www.toolify.ai/submit) exposes a paid launch route, but its price was not visible in our retrieved page. Read the complete current offer; no traffic or sales outcome is established by this list. ## The checked AI & startup directory table Default order is tier, then name—not payment, DR or claimed visitor counts. All source links go to the directory’s own public page. **“Operator-stated” is not an inspected live link.** Amounts use the currency symbol shown by the site; “$” is reproduced without assuming the currency where it was not named. Promotions can change. Free submission is different from free use of the listed product. Showing 106 of 106 checked routes. 106 public routes checked 9–10 November 2026 (IST); review times are operator estimates, not measured service levels. | Directory / primary source | Category / tier | Submission cost | Link type | Badge / reciprocal | Review time stated | Notes | Last checked (IST) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [AlternativeTo](https://alternativeto.net) [Official source / route](https://alternativeto.net/about/terms/) | SaaS **Tier 1** | Free; optional priority review fee shown at checkout | unverified | Not established from public evidence | Free backlog usually months; priority 1–2 business days, up to a week | Best matched to software that replaces a real existing app. Paid priority changes review order, not approval criteria. | 9 Nov 2026 | | [BetaList](https://betalist.com) [Official source / route](https://betalist.com/faq) | startup launch board **Tier 1** | Paid only; current fee shown at end of form | Dofollow (operator-stated in FAQ; not independently inspected) | Not established from public evidence | Not stated | Targets startups new to its audience, including waitlists and live products. FAQ says no free submission and automatic refund if not selected. Do not rely on old free-listing guides. | 9 Nov 2026 | | [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com) [Official source / route](https://www.capterra.com/vendors/) [Additional official source](https://www.capterra.com/resources/how-we-ensure-transparency/) | review site **Tier 1** | Free profile; optional paid lead generation | unverified | Not established from public evidence | Not stated | Software-buyer discovery and verified customer reviews, not a general backlink submission.

Form asks for tool details and pricing model; the tool’s own “Free” pricing option is not proof that submission is free. | 9 Nov 2026 | | [G2](https://sell.g2.com) [Official source / route](https://sell.g2.com/plans) | review site **Tier 1** | Free seller profile; Starter $299/month or $2,999/year | unverified | Not established from public evidence | Not stated | For B2B software with genuine customers.

The monthly free selection is a contest, not an open free route. Treat audience and click promises as operator claims. | 9 Nov 2026 | | [Toolify.ai](https://www.toolify.ai) [Official source / route](https://www.toolify.ai/submit) | AI catalog **Tier 1** | Paid route; amount not exposed in retrieved page | unverified | Not established from public evidence | Within 48 hours (operator statement) | Categorized AI catalog with a Just Launched section.

Recheck the promotion before paying. | 9 Nov 2026 | | [AI Respo](https://airespo.com) [Official source / route](https://airespo.com/submit-tool/) | AI catalog **Tier 2** | Free | unverified | Not established from public evidence | Within 30 days if eligible | Requires an account and a standalone, functional AI product.

The $249 multi-directory service is separate and should not be confused with a single AITopTools listing. | 9 Nov 2026 | | [aidust](https://aidust.io) [Official source / route](https://aidust.io/submit-ai-tool/) | AI catalog **Tier 2** | Free; optional featured placements | unverified | Not established from public evidence | Within 48 hours | AI catalog with category and subcategory selection.

Try clearing filters or searching a broader category. ## Methodology, tier criteria & exclusions We used public directory lists for candidate names only, then opened each included directory’s own public homepage, submission, pricing, FAQ or policy page on **9–10 November 2026 (IST)**. We wrote our own notes, saved primary-page evidence and did not copy third-party traffic, DR or link-type tables. A route is counted once per operator/domain; BetaPage’s redirect to PitchWall is not a second entry. The second batch (29 routes added late on 9 November) was admitted only if the directory’s own page showed a free submission route and no mandatory link back to the directory; optional badges that only change a link from nofollow to dofollow are noted in the row. **“Checked” still means read, not submitted.** - **Tier 1 — broad-discovery priority (13):** AI catalogs, launch workflows, software-alternative search or review marketplaces with substantial, observable discovery features and dedicated owner/launch guidance. This is the “submit first if relevant” group, _not a verified high-traffic ranking_. We have no independently measured traffic figures. - **Tier 2 — solid next-pass candidates (38):** a browsable product catalog or launch feed plus a substantive public plan, eligibility rule or review process. Consider after the closest audience-fit destinations. - **Tier 3 — long-tail / specialist candidates (55):** narrow categories, smaller catalogs or public routes with fewer documented terms. Read the unknowns first. Tier does not certify editorial quality, safety, referrals or SEO value. **What “checked” means:** we read the cited primary page, not merely an HTTP-200 status. It is not a completed submission, purchase, acceptance test, uptime audit or proof that every form step works. Some prices are hidden until an account, URL or later step; those remain unverified. We did not sign in or provide a product URL to reveal gated terms. “Not stated” means not established in the checked public evidence, not that the operator has no rule. Time estimates are copied as estimates, without converting them into our own guarantee. **Links:** all actual link attributes remain unverified unless explicitly labelled as an operator’s published statement. We did not infer dofollow from a directory’s name, price, DR, or another site’s review. Sponsored placement should be visibly labelled and its outbound links appropriately qualified. A directory’s promise of paid followed links is not a reason to buy for ranking credit. Read [Google’s link-spam policy](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/essentials/spam-policies#link-spam). **50 candidates excluded from the main table**, including **29** whose checked free route required a badge or backlink on your site. The others were closed or paused, paid only, unfinished, a duplicate redirect, had conflicting terms, or could not be confirmed as a current directory from their own pages. Futurepedia’s directory is reachable, but both new-tool submission routes checked returned 404; we therefore do not repeat its old $497 listing offer as current. ToolPilot and Fazier condition the checked free route on a backlink. Those routes are omitted, not represented as unconditional free listings. Paid alternatives may exist. ### Exclusion table Every row below comes from our own exclusion dataset, checked on the date shown. A reason of “mandatory reciprocal free route” means the checked free option required a badge or backlink on your site. 50 excluded candidates; 29 required a badge or backlink on the free route. | Directory | Reason | Detail | Last checked (IST) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Stackradar](https://www.stackradar.co) | coming soon | Homepage says Stackradar 2.0 is coming soon; no public listing route verified. | 9 Nov 2026 | | [AI Tool Net](https://www.aitoolnet.com) | conflicting terms | Pricing table shows a free tier, but its FAQ says listing costs $9.9; not counted until consistent. | 9 Nov 2026 | | [BetaPage](https://betapage.co) | duplicate operator / redirect | Redirects to PitchWall, which is counted once under its current name. | 9 Nov 2026 | | [AllTopStartups](https://alltopstartups.com) | free route suspended | Page states free listings are currently suspended. | 9 Nov 2026 | | [AgentHunter](https://www.agenthunter.io) | mandatory reciprocal free route | Official submission/pricing page conditions the free route on a badge/backlink.

Optional badges are not required recommendations; unknown badge conditions must be confirmed before any submission. A paid row here is research for DIY comparison, not approval to pay or a statement that the destination is included in GearPicked’s service. Inaccessible or bot-blocked pages remain in our research queue rather than being declared dead. Directory owners control acceptance, fees, link attributes and review times. ## Prepare one submission kit, then adapt it honestly - **Identity:** working canonical product URL, product name, maker ownership and accurate contact details. Avoid duplicate submissions. - **Copy:** a specific tagline under 60 characters, a short description, a longer explanation, categories, use cases and honest limitations. Match each form’s limits; rewrite for its audience instead of mass-pasting. Follow any ban on AI-written descriptions. - **Proof:** square logo, current product screenshots and a short demo or useful public example. Never fabricate users, awards, reviews, testimonials, revenue or performance. - **Pricing:** actual starting price, whether a free plan differs from a trial, and a link to your own pricing page. - **Tracking:** record route, date, fee approved, eligibility, submitted/approved/live/indexed separately, final URL and evidence. A submitted form is not an approved or indexed listing. - **Prioritize:** do the closest-fit 5–10 first, wait for useful feedback and measure referral visits or qualified enquiries. Stop when the next directory offers no plausible audience fit. More links alone are not a growth strategy. If you prefer DIY, the CSV is enough to start. If relevant form-filling is taking time from your product, [GearPicked’s manual submission service](https://gearpicked.com/submit/) provides tailored copy, screenshots and tracking: $99 for 100 submissions or $149 for 200, one time. This public batch is not the complete inventory for either package. Eligibility is rechecked per product; approvals, backlinks, rankings, traffic, sales and AI citations are never guaranteed. ## Questions about this list ### How many directories should I submit my product to? Start with the 5 to 10 that best fit your product, not all of them. Track referral visits and enquiries from each for a few weeks, then decide whether more listings are worth the effort. ### What does “checked” mean on this list? We read the directory’s own submit, pricing or FAQ page and recorded the cost, badge rules, link claims and review time it states. Checked does not mean we submitted a product or confirmed a link type by inspecting a live listing. ### Why are some well-known directories missing? We left out 50 candidates because their free route needed a badge or backlink on your site, was paid only, was suspended, had conflicting terms, or could not be confirmed from the directory’s own pages. 29 of those exclusions were for a mandatory badge or backlink. The exclusion table in the methodology section lists each one with the reason. ### Are directory backlinks good for SEO? Treat directories mainly as discovery and referral sources. Many links are nofollow, some only become dofollow if you add a badge, and Google’s spam policies count low-quality directory links and link exchanges as link spam. A few relevant, curated listings are worth more than many generic ones.

The methodology section now includes the full 50-row exclusion table, of which 29 required a badge or backlink. 10 November 2026 (IST): screened 117 more candidates from the research queue and added 6 routes after reading each one’s own FAQ, pricing or submit page (StartupBase, SideProjectors, StarTap, AI Kaptan, UseMyAI, SaaSworthy). Excluded SaaS Genius because its homepage served casino content. The rest stay in the queue because their pages were sign-in gated, JavaScript-only, blocked, or didn’t state a free route clearly. We don’t count those as free. 9 November 2026, evening (IST): added 29 routes after reading each one’s own submit or pricing page the same evening (free route stated, no mandatory reciprocal link), and moved 17 more candidates to the exclusions because their free route needs a badge or backlink, is suspended, is paid only, has conflicting terms, or the page served unrelated content. 9 November 2026 (IST): expanded from the previous 26-row inventory to 71 newly source-checked routes, rechecked the included old rows, added tiers and explicit price conflicts, and excluded 32 unsuitable or unverified-current routes. No directory forms, emails, reviews or posts were submitted for this research. [Report a factual correction](https://gearpicked.com/contact/); confirm live rules again before acting.
