Zaptool

For AI products, agents and AI-enabled SaaS

AI tool directories with verified submission requirements

The table lists AI-only directories from the snapshot. General software directories, which an AI product fits by category rule, are kept separate, on the SaaS directories page.

Quick answer

AI directory requirements can change without notice, so every row here carries its check date. Zaptool checked each public submission route in one dated snapshot and separates AI-only directories from general software destinations that also fit AI products by category. In the snapshot, 118 of 323 verified directories are AI-only and 168 of 323 are general software directories.

AI-only directories

57 of 118 (48.3%) AI-only directories had an open route on the check date and are listed first, then the gated ones (61 of 118). Within each group, fewer observed gates come first; a Not recorded cell is not counted as a gate, so such a row may ask for more than it shows. Nothing is ranked by domain rating or popularity; the full ordering rule is on the verified directory database. One directory recorded as open is held back until re-checked (see the method notes below).

AI-only directories vs general software directories

AI-only directories list AI products specifically: 118 of 323 (36.5%) verified directories. They are the rows in the table above.

General software directories list software, SaaS or startup products broadly: 168 of 323 (52.0%) verified directories. An AI product fits them as software in general. That is a category rule, not a per-site confirmation that each one accepts AI products, so they are listed on the SaaS directories page rather than mixed into this table.

The reverse does not hold: AI-only directories are classified here as AI-specific, so if your product has no AI features, check each directory's listing criteria before you submit, however short its form.

Directories are placed on this page by their recorded categories only. That says nothing about whether your product meets a directory's own listing criteria, whether it is already listed there, or whether the directory approves it. 37 of 323 (11.5%) verified directories are scoped to another niche by category, such as developer tools, design or marketing, and are counted here neither as AI-only nor as general software; if your AI product also belongs to that niche, check them on the verified directory database. Before you submit anywhere, look for an existing listing; the submission tracker has a column for it.

Free AI tool directories

A free path was observed on 72 of 118 (61.0%) AI-only directories; payment was required on 44 of 118 (37.3%) and the question was not determined for 2 of 118 (1.7%). Paid-only directories stay in the table with the status Gated: paid.

Free, precisely, means this: “A free standard submission path was observed on the site itself (not merely 'no price found').” It says nothing about optional paid upgrades, which are not tracked, and it is a dated observation: a free route can become paid after the check.

Free is not the same as unconditional. At least 17 of 118 (14.4%) AI-only directories required a badge or reciprocal link, and the badge requirement was not determined for 45 of 118 (38.1%).

No-login / low-friction AI submission routes

47 of 118 (39.8%) AI-only directories were recorded as not requiring an account; 43 of 118 (36.4%) required one and login was not determined for 28 of 118 (23.7%). A CAPTCHA a person must solve appeared on 9 of 118 (7.6%).

To list them, set Login to No in the table above; adding Status: Open leaves the no-account routes that were not gated by payment or a badge on the check date.

Short routes can still end in a confirmation email: email verification was not determined for most rows.

Submission kit for an AI tool

Have this ready before you start. The first item is scope; the rest come from the recorded gates:

  • A product that fits the directory's scope. AI-only directories are classified here as AI-specific by category, so check each one's listing criteria. General software directories are listed on the SaaS directories page.
  • A sign-in method. 43 of 118 (36.4%) AI-only directories required an account.
  • A budget decision. 44 of 118 (37.3%) had no free standard path; fees were not recorded, so check each price on the directory's own page.
  • A decision about badges. At least 17 of 118 (14.4%) required a badge or reciprocal link on your site.
  • Owner access. No AI-only directory was an owner-only vendor portal, but some still asked for the owner: at least 5 of 118 (4.2%) needed an owner login, a company-domain email or similar, and for 92 of 118 (78.0%) this was not determined.
  • Descriptions and screenshots. Which fields, images and text lengths an AI directory's form asks for is not recorded in this snapshot; open the form before you write the listing.

How we verify AI directory submission requirements

Only directories classified AI-only are rows here: their recorded categories list AI products specifically. General software directories that an AI product fits are counted in the comparison above but kept out of this table.

Of the 212 AI-only candidate domains checked on , 118 of 212 (55.7%) were verified, open or gated; they are the directories this page counts. The rest are not on it: 40 had no working route at check time, 11 were not directories, 9 had no submission route, 2 showed a challenge before the route could be read and 32 were checked but not conclusive. A directory missing here was not confirmed as a place to submit on that date; it was not judged on quality.

The data is Zaptool's directory inventory check of , frozen as snapshot zt-dir-20260927-cad0c427. Every AI-only directory was checked on that date, and each row's Last verified cell repeats it.

Because a single check can go stale, a requirement is shown as recorded on that date and never extrapolated. Undetermined fields stay Not recorded. Fees were not recorded, so this page does not describe what paid AI directories charge or what the fee buys.

The full verified set, including general software directories, is on the verified directory database.

One directory that this snapshot records as open is held back from the table: a later spot check raised conflicting signals about its submission route. It stays in the statistics on this page, which describe the snapshot as recorded, and returns to the table once re-checked.

What the table labels mean

Status
Open: a free standard path observed, and no payment or badge required: 57 of 118 (48.3%) AI-only directories. Gated: on the check date the route needed payment with no free path (44 of 118) or a badge on your site (17 of 118). None of the AI-only directories was gated by a reciprocal link or an owner-only vendor portal.
Free path
A free standard submission path was observed on the site itself (not merely 'no price found'). Optional paid upgrades are not tracked.
Login
Submitting requires signing in or creating an account (email/password, magic link or OAuth). Yes means required.
Badge
Listing requires placing a badge or reciprocal link on the product's site. Yes means required.
CAPTCHA
A challenge a human must solve appears on the submission route. Yes means required; invisible challenges count as No.

FAQ

What is the difference between AI-only and AI-compatible?

AI-only directories list AI products specifically. AI-compatible here means a general software directory that an AI product fits as software in general, by category rule rather than per-site confirmation.

Can I submit a product without AI features to these directories?

They are classified here as AI-specific, so check each directory's listing criteria before submitting a product without AI features. General software directories are listed on the SaaS directories page.

Is a free AI directory free for good?

Free means a free standard path was observed on the check date. Routes can change after it, and optional paid upgrades are not tracked.

Will a listing get my tool cited by AI assistants?

No listing guarantees that. Whether an AI assistant mentions a product depends on the assistant, not on a listing alone.

What does “Not recorded” mean?

The check did not determine that field for that directory. It never means No.
