For AI tool makers
What it costs to list an AI tool with us
The AI tool listing cost here is $79 for a same-day decision, or nothing at all if you are happy to wait 20–25 days. Those are the only two lanes. Both buy review speed — neither buys the decision, your ranking, or a word of what we write about you. If we reject a paid submission, the fee is refunded automatically.
Tools tracked
Every one re-checked on a running cycle
Re-verified this week
Not a month — this week
AI assistants sending visitors
Real referrals, named — not a vanity count
Getting reviewed
Two lanes, one review
Every tool goes through the same editorial review and the same quality gates. The only difference between these two is how long you wait.
Free Review
Freeno link, no payment
Submit and wait — nothing to place on your site, nothing to pay. Your review lands in 20–25 days.
- The same editorial review as any paid submission
- Full listing, maintained free for as long as it is live
- Structured markup, category pages, comparisons and the stack planner
- Identical rankings, scores and verdict to any paid submission
What the link never buys: your ranking, your score, or our verdict.
Four of the biggest AI platforms have no free lane at all.
Fast-Track Review
$79one-time
A same-day editorial decision, for when you are launching and cannot wait a week.
- Decision the same day, not in 20–25 days
- Front of the build queue + same-day push to search and AI engines
- A "How AI sees you" snapshot — were you named, who was recommended instead
- The dated verified-live badge for your own site, from day one (issued on our checks, never sold)
- Rejected = refunded in full, automatically — miss the same-day promise and it is also refunded
- Your listing itself stays trace-free: rankings and pages never show who paid
What the fee never buys: your ranking, your score, or our verdict.
Rejected = refunded in full, automatically. No request needed.
Optional intelligence
Knowing whether AI recommends you
Optional, and entirely separate from being listed. These answer the question a founder cannot answer alone: when someone asks an AI assistant for the best tools in your category, does it say your name?
AI Visibility Report
$49per month
Every week we ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity what a buyer would ask — and tell you whether you were named.
- 10 real buyer questions, across 3 engines, every week
- Which competitors get recommended instead of you
- Your listing analytics — views, clicks, saves, plan recommendations
- What we re-verified on your listing this week
The report observes. It never changes how your tool is ranked, described or recommended.
Cancel any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid billing cycle.
Deep Report
$99one-time
The same analysis, run deeper and once — including why the AI recommended your competitor instead.
- More questions, more engines, delivered within 24 hours
- The sources each engine trusted — and which you are missing from
- A second run seven days later, free, so you can see what moved
- Yours to keep and share — a private link, no login needed
An audit of your visibility, not a promise to change it. We report; we do not intervene.
For founders who want the answer without a subscription.
Change Reports
$19per month
Every change our pipelines record on YOUR product's public page — emailed to you on the 1st and the 15th, each with the date we saw it.
- Pricing, feature, link and status changes, dated
- Site-health alerts the moment our checks catch a problem
- The same record buyers and AI assistants see
- Subscribe in a minute — your tool, your link, your work email. No account.
A copy of your own history, not influence. Subscribing never changes your listing, score or ranking.

Where the money goes
What your fee builds
A listing here is not a row in a database that goes stale the day after you submit it. It is maintained data, and the maintenance is the expensive part. All ten of these run for free listings exactly as they do for paid ones.
- 01
We opt IN to AI training
Google-Extended and CCBot are the two switches publishers use to keep their content OUT of model training. We allow both, deliberately. Most sites that discovered those switches used them to close the door.
- 02
Assistants are allowed to read you
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot and Google-Extended are all explicitly allowed in our robots.txt — open it and check. A page an assistant cannot read is a page it can never cite you from.
- 03
We publish a file written for models
rightaichoice.com/llms.txt is generated live from the database every time it is requested, freshness stamps included. Not a copy of the sitemap — a document whose only audience is an AI reading about the tools we cover.
- 04
Your page is rebuilt, not stored
A spec pipeline re-scrapes pricing, plans, limits and features across the catalogue every ten minutes. Your listing is not a form you filled in once; it is a page that goes and checks.
- 05
We follow your changelog and your blog
Every one of our published tools had its changelog and blog re-read within the last 30 days, hourly in rotation. Ship something and the listing reflects it without you telling us.
- 06
We read the room around you
Community sentiment three times a day, tutorials and how-tos discovered hourly, mentions synced nightly. Buyers see what people actually say about your tool, not only what you say.
- 07
We notice when things break
Link health every two hours, shutdown detection every three days, and a viability signal recomputed three times a day. Dead competitors get caught — and so would you, which is exactly why the catalogue is worth being in.
- 08
You become an answer, not a listing
Buyers do not ask an assistant for a list; they ask "X or Y for my team?". Complete data puts you inside comparison and alternatives pages, which is the shape that question actually has.
- 09
Machine-readable by construction
Product, Offer and FAQ markup on every listing, a live sitemap, and same-day IndexNow submission. Assistants quote specifics — pricing tiers, limits, integrations — and specifics only travel if they are structured.
- 10
We never sell placement
Fees buy speed and queue position, nothing else. The data, the depth and the verdict are identical whether you pay or not — and always will be.
Of the 8,183 tools verified, every single one has been re-verified within the last 30 days. That is compute and review time, and it is funded by the vendors who choose to pay for speed. It has never been funded by selling placement, which is the one revenue stream that would quietly destroy the thing being sold.
“Paid and free are treated identically in all rankings and recommendations.”
That sentence ships in our terms and on every page where we ask for money, because it is the only thing that makes the rest of the catalogue worth reading. Rankings, scores, verdicts, inclusion in a “best of” list, and followed links from our editorial content are not for sale at any price — not to the biggest payer, not to anyone. The moment one listing can be bought, every listing is worthless.
We reject tools that have paid us, and approve tools that have not. That is not a policy we tolerate; it is the product.
Why the data is trusted
How your record stays accurate — automatically
Every listing here is maintained by software, not by opinion or memory. More than 60+ automated pipelines re-check pricing, features, links and status on fixed schedules — around the clock — so the record a buyer or an AI assistant reads about your tool is the current one, not a snapshot that went stale the day it was submitted. That accuracy is the entire product, and it is why vendors come to us to verify their own tools in the first place: the facts are already right and public, and they want to keep them that way.

What runs, and how often
These are the families of checks behind every listing. They run whether or not a vendor has ever spoken to us — paying changes none of them, and a free listing is maintained by the exact same machinery as a paid one.
Link & uptime health
DailyEvery published link is re-probed and the site re-reached. Dead links, broken redirects and tools that quietly went offline are caught and flagged — not left rotting on the page.
Pricing & feature sync
Running cycleA tool’s own pages are re-read so a price change, a new plan, a dropped feature or a rename shows up on the record instead of drifting out of date.
Domain & certificate watch
ContinuousSSL expiry, domain status and reachability are monitored, so a listing never keeps recommending a product whose domain has lapsed or whose site stopped resolving.
Sentiment & review scans
WeeklyPublic discussion and reviews are re-scanned for what users actually say — the signal buyers weigh most, kept current rather than frozen at launch.
AI-visibility sweeps
WeeklyThe major assistants are re-asked the questions buyers really type, to record who gets named in your category — the same data behind the AI Visibility Report.
Freshness cascade
Hourly heartbeatThe orchestration layer re-queues anything overdue and keeps the whole catalogue moving, so accuracy is a standing guarantee and not a one-time pass.
Built to be read by machines
The same verified facts are published as structured data on every tool page and in a machine-readable catalogue at /llms.jsonl, so an AI assistant answering a buyer’s question reads exactly what a person sees — no gap between the two. When your record is right here, it is right in the place buyers increasingly ask first.
Accuracy that money can’t bend
No payment touches your ranking, your score, or a single verified fact. Tools that have paid are rejected when they should be; tools that never paid are approved and recommended on their merits. Paying only ever moves you through the queue faster or adds intelligence about how AI sees you — it can never buy the verdict. That is not a policy we tolerate; it is what makes the data worth trusting at all.
The full method — how each check works, what it stores, and how often — is written up in our methodology. If you are weighing where to list at all, we keep an honest breakdown of the other platforms (including the ones we would send you to instead of us) in the submission guide.
