This article organizes information on common sites by category, based on third-party sources; always check each site's current rules.
01 AI Tool Directories
- There's An AI For That: Lists many tools, reportedly over 10,000 according to a 2026 guide. Numbers vary widely; refer to the site's own data.
- Toolify: Offers a free submission path and paid expedited review.
- Futurepedia: According to multiple 2026 guides, submissions require payment.
02 General Publishing Platforms
- Product Hunt: Free submission, ideal for gaining attention on launch day. Limited long-term growth impact but leaves a permanent product page.
- AlternativeTo: Free submission, but review queue is long with no fixed launch date. A 2026 review notes new listings often have nofollow links to official sites.
- SaaSHub: Free submission per an August 2026 guide, which also notes limited distribution effect from submitting to just one site.
- BetaList: Information is conflicting. A 2026 guide states it has switched to paid submission; confirm on the official site before submitting.
03 Two directories of our own
VaneTools lists AI tools, skills, prompts, and MCP services, categorized by function. KeelTools groups them by use cases, such as programming, office productivity, and creative writing. Their inclusion rules differ, so you can compare them.
04 Review sites
Product pages on review sites like G2, Capterra, and SaaSworthy often rank in searches for 'alternatives to something.' They have stricter inclusion criteria and review times, requiring more comprehensive information.
