For AI tool makers

Submit your AI tool.
Reviewed by people,
read by assistants.

Two ways to get reviewed, and you choose before you type anything. Submit for free and your decision lands in 7–10 working days. Or pay $79 and it lands today, refunded in full if we say no. The fee buys review speed — never the decision, your ranking, or a word of what we write about you.

Free Review

Free

no link · no payment

Submit for free and wait your turn. A decision lands in 7–10 working days. No link, no payment. The trade is time and standing: every paid submission is reviewed before yours, built before yours, and reaches search engines and the AI-readable catalog before yours.

  • The same editorial review, by a person, against the same bar
  • A full listing — no reduced tier, no locked fields
  • Pricing, features, changelog and blog kept current for as long as you are listed
  • Structured markup, category pages, comparisons and the stack planner

What you accept by waiting

  • The wait is 7–10 working days, not today — behind every paid submission
  • Your page is built after the paid ones, in that same order
  • Reaches search engines and the AI-readable catalog only at publish — a week or more later
  • No "How AI sees you" snapshot
  • No Verified listing badge for your site

What this never buys: your ranking, your score, or our verdict.

How the free lane works

Fast-Track Review

$79one-time · same-day

Live today, in a catalog AI assistants actually read. Visitors arrived here from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity this month — and a review queue should not decide when they can find you.

What the fee buys

  • A written decision within 24 hours — usually today

    A person reviews your tool the same day you pay and you get the decision by email either way, inside 24 hours. The free queue is real and paid submissions go first — if your launch has a date on it, the listing exists when the date arrives, not a fortnight after the moment has passed.

  • Your full page, built ahead of everyone waiting

    A listing here is not a form dump — our pipelines build the complete profile buyers and assistants actually read: verified pricing, features, FAQs, alternatives, comparisons, and the structured data AI engines parse. Paid tools jump that build queue; free submissions are built strictly oldest-first, behind every paid one.

  • Announced to search and AI engines the day you go live

    The moment your page publishes we ping the search indexes directly (IndexNow and Bing) and refresh the machine-readable catalog files AI assistants fetch — same day, automatically. A free submission gets its first push a week or more later: a week of buyers asking assistants about your category while your tool is absent from the data they read.

  • A "How AI sees you" snapshot — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity

    Within a day of going live we ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity the questions your buyers actually type, and email you the verdict: whether you were named, and exactly which competitors were recommended instead. Most tools discover they are invisible. Knowing on day one beats finding out after a quarter of ad spend.

  • The Verified listing badge, for your own site

    An amber "Verified listing on RightAIChoice" embed you can place on your website — minted server-side against the payment record, so it cannot be faked or copied. It lives on YOUR site, at your choice; your listing here stays exactly like every other listing, because rankings and pages never show who paid.

  • Rejected = refunded in full, the same moment

    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. Across listing platforms the norm is no refund at all — here it is automatic.

Plus everything in the free lane

  • The same editorial review, by a person, against the same bar
  • A full listing — no reduced tier, no locked fields
  • Pricing, features, changelog and blog kept current for as long as you are listed
  • Structured markup, category pages, comparisons and the stack planner

What this never buys: your ranking, your score, or our verdict.

You pay after telling us about the tool, never before.

At checkout: add a month of weekly AI-visibility reports — the $108 Launch Package.

Everything else is identical: the depth of your listing, the data behind it, the structured markup assistants read, and your rankings, scores and verdict. Paying moves you up a queue. It does not move you up a page.

What your listing actually gets

Ten things we do for every tool we list

All of it runs whether you pay us or not. This is the work the fee funds — not a better listing for the vendor who paid, but a catalogue that stays true enough for an assistant to quote.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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. 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.

Don’t take our word for it. These are the AI crawlers we explicitly allow:

  • GPTBot
  • OAI-SearchBot
  • ClaudeBot
  • anthropic-ai
  • PerplexityBot
  • Google-Extended
  • CCBot

Open rightaichoice.com/robots.txt and check. A page an assistant is not allowed to read is a page it can never cite you from — and plenty of listing sites block these outright.

“Paid and free are treated identically in all rankings and recommendations.”

Rankings, scores, verdicts, inclusion in “best of” lists and followed links from our editorial content are not for sale at any price. We reject tools that have paid us and approve tools that have not. 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.

Questions, answered straight

Before you start

01Is it free to list an AI tool on RightAIChoice?+
Yes — no link, no payment, and the editorial bar is identical (payment never influences decisions or rankings, on any lane). What the free lane costs you is time and position: your review lands in 7–10 working days behind every paid submission, your page is built after theirs, and it reaches search engines and the AI-readable catalog only when it publishes. The paid lanes exist to remove exactly that — a same-day decision, same-day distribution to search and AI engines, a "How AI sees you" snapshot naming who assistants recommend instead of you, and the Verified listing badge for your own site.
02Which lane should I pick?+
Pay if being visible this week matters: a launch with a date on it, a funding announcement, a Product Hunt day, or simply not wanting buyers to ask AI assistants about your category for another fortnight while your tool is absent from the data. Fast-Track ($79) gets the written same-day decision, the priority page build, same-day distribution to search and AI engines, the snapshot, and the Verified badge for your site; the Launch Package ($108) adds a month of weekly AI-visibility reports on top. Both are refunded in full, automatically, if we reject — so the downside is time-boxed to zero. Go free if none of that is urgent; the editorial bar is identical either way.
03What is the Launch Package?+
The Launch Package ($108) combines a same-day Fast-Track review with the first month of the AI Visibility Monitor — weekly reports on whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity mention your tool, who they recommend instead, and which sources they trusted. It is a single one-time payment: the month of reports ends by itself after 30 days and nothing renews unless you choose to continue at $49/month. Like every paid option here, rejection means an automatic full refund, and payment never affects the decision or your ranking.
04Does paying change the decision, or my ranking?+
No. Rankings, scores, verdicts and inclusion in "best of" lists are not for sale at any price. We reject tools that have paid us and approve tools that have not. A paid review leaves no visible trace on the listing — there is no sponsored badge, because nothing was sponsored — and if we reject a paid submission the fee is refunded in full, automatically, the moment the rejection is recorded.
05Does RightAIChoice allow AI crawlers like GPTBot and ClaudeBot?+
Yes, explicitly, and you can verify it in ten seconds at rightaichoice.com/robots.txt. GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and CCBot are all allowed. Google-Extended and CCBot are the two switches publishers use to keep their content out of model training, and we deliberately leave both open. We also publish rightaichoice.com/llms.txt, a file generated live from the database whose only audience is a model reading about the tools we cover. A page an assistant cannot read is a page it can never cite you from, and plenty of listing sites block these outright.
06How often is a listing updated after it goes live?+
Continuously, and this is the part most listing sites do not do at all. Published links are re-probed every two hours; a spec pipeline re-scrapes pricing, plans, limits and features across the catalogue every ten minutes; changelogs and blogs are re-read in rotation so a release shows up without you telling us; community sentiment is refreshed three times a day; and a viability signal is recomputed daily. Your page is rebuilt from those checks rather than stored as the form you filled in once. This runs for free listings exactly as it does for paid ones.
07What happens if a tool shuts down or changes its pricing?+
We notice, usually before the vendor tells anyone. Link health runs every two hours and shutdown detection every three days, so dead products are marked and unpublished rather than left to rot in the catalogue. Pricing changes are picked up by the spec pipeline and the page updates itself. That matters to you in both directions: your own listing stays accurate, and you are not being compared against six competitors that quietly shut down last year.
08What actually makes an AI assistant mention my tool?+
Access, freshness and specifics — in that order. First the assistant has to be allowed to read the page, which is why our robots.txt matters. Then the facts have to be current, because a model quoting last year’s pricing gets corrected and learns not to trust the source. Then they have to be specific and structured: buyers do not ask an assistant for a list, they ask "X or Y for my team?", and Product, Offer and FAQ markup is what lets a machine answer that with your actual pricing tiers, limits and integrations. All three run identically for free and paid listings — the fee buys none of it, it buys speed.
09What if I just submit and do nothing else?+
You get reviewed in 7–10 working days and that is the whole free lane. You sit behind fast-tracked submissions in the review queue, and your page is built after theirs once approved. Nothing expires, nobody chases you, and the listing you end up with is identical to a paid one.
