How to list your AI tool on Startup AI Tools
TL;DR
Startup AI Tools (StartupAITools.com) is an AI tools directory aimed at founders and early-stage teams. A listing costs $6 per tool, goes live within 48 hours, stays on the site permanently and includes a do-follow backlink. It suits AI startups that want a cheap, fast directory link next to their bigger launches.
What is Startup AI Tools?
Startup AI Tools is a searchable directory that sorts AI products into seven groups: Audio and Video, Content, Graphic Design, Marketing, No Code, Productivity and Other. Each group splits into narrow categories such as video generators, AI content detectors, logo creators, lead generation, chatbot builders, legal and resume tools. Its homepage title promises more than 5,000 AI tools, and the About page says the site exists to save lean startup teams the hours spent finding and vetting tools. Some older lists call it "Best AI Tools" after that homepage title, but the site names itself Startup AI Tools.
The homepage shows a stream of new listings with a one-line summary each. In October 2026 that stream mixed SEO trackers, video generators and marketing assistants with AI companion apps and watermark removers, and the Other group has its own "AI girlfriend" category.
Who should submit to Startup AI Tools?
- AI startups with a working product and a public website that fits one of the categories.
- Founders on a small budget who want a permanent do-follow link for $6.
- Skip it if you only use free directories. The site shows no free option.
- Skip it if your B2B brand should not appear next to adult AI companion tools.
How much does Startup AI Tools cost?
$6 per tool, paid once. The fee covers review and publication within 48 hours, placement on the homepage, the matching category pages and tag pages, a do-follow backlink and a listing that stays up for good. Payments are non-refundable once processing starts, and the site promises a full refund if your tool is rejected for breaking its guidelines. Each extra tool is another $6 order; for bulk discounts or an invoice, contact the team.

Tips to get more out of Startup AI Tools

- Pick the narrowest category that fits. Category pages are where visitors compare tools side by side.
