Verified Listing

When does a Verified Listing earn its fee?

There is one situation where $79 is obviously worth it: a fixed date and an expensive wait. You are launching on Product Hunt Thursday. Your funding announcement goes out Monday. A journalist asked where you are listed and wants to file tomorrow. In those cases a long queue is not an inconvenience, it is a missed window — and compressing it into 1 working day for the price of a dinner is an easy call. You get a written decision within 1 working day (Monday to Friday, India time), in a catalog AI assistants actually read.

And because the editorial bar never moves, the risk is genuinely one-sided: Refunded in full, automatically, if we say no. No date on the calendar? The free lane reaches the identical listing; our submission guide covers how to choose, and the pricing page lists every lane side by side.

What does a Verified Listing include?

The 6 things the fee buys, explained. Each line names the mechanism behind it.

1. 01A written decision within 1 working day

   A person reads your tool and you get the written decision by email either way — a written decision within 1 working day (Monday to Friday, India time). The free queue is long (and full this month) and paid submissions go first — if your launch has a date on it, the verified listing exists when the date arrives, not weeks after. If we miss it, the fee is refunded in full — you do not need to ask.

2. 02A direct, sponsored link to your site

   Paid listings get a direct, sponsored link to your site. Free listings link through our tracked redirect. The direct link is the one buyers and assistants follow to reach you from the page they were reading; it is marked sponsored because it is paid for, and it is the only link the fee ever buys — never a followed link from editorial content.

3. 03A one-time AI Visibility Snapshot

   Within a day of going live we ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude ten buyer questions for your category, dated, and email you the result: whether you were named, and exactly which competitors were recommended instead. Every engine’s result is shown, even when an engine fails. Most tools discover they are invisible; knowing on day one beats finding out after a quarter of ad spend.

4. 04Monthly AI-crawler statistics for your page

   Every month, which AI companies’ crawlers fetched your listing and how often — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and the rest, by company. The same counting method as the live figures at the top of this page, scoped to your page.

5. 05The dated verified-live badge, ongoing re-verification and an AI-readable structured listing

   A dated "verified live on RightAIChoice" embed for your own site, minted server-side from our checks — the date moves as we re-verify, and it cannot be faked. Pricing, plans and limits re-scraped across the catalogue every ten minutes, your changelog and blog re-read in hourly rotation, link health every two hours. Product, Offer and FAQ markup on your page, a live llms.txt written for models, and IndexNow pings the day you publish — built ahead of everyone waiting, instead of after the free lane reopens.

6. 06Rejected = refunded in full, the same moment

   Refunded in full, automatically, if we say no. Not on request, not after an email exchange — the refund fires automatically the instant a rejection is recorded, back to your original payment method. You are buying a decision; if the decision is no, you pay nothing.

What actually happens after you pay?

You submit your tool as normal — name, link, what it does, who it is for. Once the submission exists, you choose a lane. Paying moves you to the front of the queue and sends an immediate alert to whoever is on review duty, which is what makes the promise keepable rather than aspirational.

A human then reads your tool against the same bar every submission faces: does the tool exist and work, is the site real, is the description honest, is it something a buyer searching our catalogue would be glad to find. Nothing in that list is affected by whether you paid. If it passes, it goes into the same enrichment and quality pipeline as every other tool and appears publicly, usually within a day. If it fails, you get a real reason and your money back.

What does the fee fund?

A listing here is not a row in a database that goes stale the day after you submit it. Our pipelines re-scrape and re-verify pricing, features and status on a rolling schedule for as long as your tool is listed — dead links get caught, quiet price rises get updated, shutdowns get noticed. Every published tool in the catalogue has been re-verified within the last 30 days.

The fee buys 6 things — a written decision within 1 working day, a direct sponsored link, the one-time AI Visibility Snapshot, monthly AI-crawler statistics, a monthly site-health report, re-verification every 3 days and the verified-live badge — and never the verdict, the score, the ranking or an editorial followed link. The review bar and the verdict are identical whether you pay or not.

What the fee never buys?

What are the guarantees?

• Refunded in full, automatically, if we say no.
• Issued to your original payment method when the rejection is recorded — typically 5–7 business days depending on your bank.
• If we miss it, the fee is refunded in full — you do not need to ask.
• A paid review leaves zero visible trace on your listing here — rankings, scores and the page itself never show who paid. The Verified badge exists only where you choose to embed it, on your own site.

The full terms are in our refund and cancellation policy, which says the same things at greater length and with fewer adjectives.
