What a listing includes
One payment, a permanent listing, and what comes with it — described by shape, not by price.
Listings are sold on the listing page, which is where the current price is stated. This article describes what you get, because that changes far less often than the number does.
How it is paid for
- One payment. There is no subscription, no renewal and no recurring charge.
- The listing stays. It does not expire at the end of a period, because there is no period.
- It publishes immediately. The moment the payment clears, the listing is live — see After you submit.
What comes with it
- A full listing page for your tool, with your logo and screenshot.
- Multiple categories, so you appear everywhere you belong rather than in one place — see Browsing by category.
- A verified badge, confirming the details came from you. It is not a quality rating and it does not lift you in the popular order — what the badge means.
- A do-follow link to your own site.
- Visibility in New AI Tools on the home page when you are first listed.
- Inclusion in Compare, so people weighing you against an alternative can actually find you.
What it does not buy
Position. Paying for a listing does not move you up any ranked list. The order is decided by the measurements in How tools are ordered, and a paid listing is ranked by the same keys as every other one.
Placement that is paid for — a homepage spotlight, a newsletter slot — is a separate arrangement and is always marked Sponsored wherever it appears. See Promotional boosts and What “Sponsored” means.
