Free Review

Pausedfree lane · no payment

PausedLong waiting queue

Free reviews are paused for now. Next update: 9 October 2026.

Every listing we publish is checked by a person, and the free queue is long. Taking more free submissions now would mean promising a wait we cannot keep, so intake is paused while we clear it.

Submissions sent while paused are refused at the door — nothing is queued, nothing is lost; anything already in the queue keeps its place.

One email when free reviews reopen. Nothing else, ever.

Paused · Long waiting queue
  • 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 20–25 days once the queue reopens, not 48 hours — 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
  • The verified-live badge arrives when you publish, a week or more later (it is never sold — only earlier)

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

In short

RightAIChoice reviews AI tools by hand and re-verifies them continuously. RAC Verified costs $79 one-time and returns a written decision within 48 hours, refunded automatically on rejection. Free reviews are paused for now; the next update is published on 9 October 2026. AI/LLM crawlers made 32,998 requests to this site in the last 24 hours and 1,112,076 in the last 30 days (a floor, counted at origin), 854,279 of them from the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity; 2,086 tools were re-verified in the last 24 hours. Payment never buys the decision, a ranking or a score. As of 9 Oct 2026, 02:04 UTC.

AI Product Change Monitor · $19/month add-on

What the Change Monitor watches, and what a report looks like

Two emailed reports a month — the 1st and the 15th: every change our pipelines recorded on your product since the last report, grouped as below, each item in the same seven lines. Nothing is summarised away; a quiet fortnight says so.

Availability
listing status, website health, dead links found on your site, a merged or moved listing, a changed website address
Pricing
pricing model, plan prices and limits, hidden costs on record, our pricing analysis
Product record
tagline, description, feature list, integrations, models, limitations, platforms, API availability, setup time, best-for / not-for
External signals
GitHub stars, average rating, review count, community sentiment
Our verdicts
viability score and its signals, editorial verdict, re-verification tier, curated placement, search indexability

The link is on your public listing and in the machine-readable catalogue; a 404 there reads as neglect to a buyer and lowers what an assistant will quote from you.

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 IndexNow submission the day you publish. 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.

All ten run for your tool from the day it is verified.

How the numbers on this page are counted

A floor, measured — never an estimate

  1. 01Unit: one HTTP request to rightaichoice.com from a named AI or LLM crawler that our origin served (refused and dead requests are excluded), counted by user agent.
  2. 02Windows: rolling 24 hours and rolling 30 days in UTC, measured in whole-hour buckets (the current partial hour is included). Recomputed on demand, at most every 15 minutes; this page refreshes within the hour.
  3. 03Counted: the AI-assistant and AI-training agents we recognise — exasearchbot, desearchbot, meta-webindexer, grokbot, reflectionbot, chatglm-spider, spiderling, gptbot, oai-searchbot, chatgpt-user, claudebot, claude-user, claude-searchbot, anthropic-ai, perplexitybot, perplexity-user, applebot-extended, amazonbot, bytespider, ccbot, meta-externalagent, meta-externalfetcher, mistralai-user, duckassistbot, cohere-ai, youbot, ai2bot, diffbot. Search-engine crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot) and SEO tools are never included.
  4. 04A floor, not a total: requests served from the Cloudflare edge cache never reach our origin, so every figure here undercounts.
  5. 05Forged user agents are filtered: security scanners that impersonate AI assistants while probing for secrets (dotfiles, path traversal) are bucketed apart and excluded from every figure since 2026-09-24. Probe requests recorded before that date cannot be re-classified, so older 30-day figures may run slightly high until the window rolls past the fix.
  6. 06Human traffic is never included. The same numbers are published as JSON so anyone can check them.

Computed 9 Oct 2026, 02:04 UTC. Per-crawler table and daily chart: rightaichoice.com/ai-crawl-stats · JSON: /api/vendor/live-stats

Those requests read the listings that are verified and current. Yours can be one of them within 48 hours.

Get RAC Verified — $79 →Live crawl statistics →

“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?+
Normally yes, and it will be again: free reviews are paused for now because the free queue is long and we would rather clear it than promise a wait we cannot keep. The next update on free intake is published on 9 October 2026; no reopen date has been set. Submissions attempted while the lane is paused are refused at the door; anything already queued keeps its place. Leave your email on the free card and we send exactly one message the day it reopens. RAC Verified ($79) is open now: a person reads your tool and writes the decision within 48 hours, refunded in full if we say no.
02What does RAC Verified include, and what does "verified" mean?+
Every tool we publish is verified — a person checks it against the same bar and our pipelines keep re-checking it. RAC Verified ($79, one-time) is priority verification: that check happens within 48 hours instead of after the free queue, your page is built ahead of the queue, it reaches search and AI engines the day it publishes, you get the "How AI sees you" snapshot, and the dated verified-live badge is available from day one. The status, the badge and the listing are identical to a free tool's. Payment buys the clock, never the word.
03What is the AI Product Change Monitor ($19/month)?+
Every change we record on your product — pricing, features, links, status, sentiment, viability — in your inbox twice a month. Cancel any time. Each report item is written the same way: RAC detected · what changed · when · old state · new state · source · why it matters. It is built from the same change record that already powers your page — 2,086 tools were re-checked in the last 24 hours — so it costs you nothing to set up and can be cancelled any time.
04What is the AI Visibility Report ($49/month)?+
A weekly report on whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity name your tool for the questions your buyers actually ask, who they recommend instead, and which sources they trusted to answer. It observes; it does not intervene — nobody can sell a citation, and we do not pretend to.
05How do you count "AI/LLM crawler requests"?+
One request to rightaichoice.com from a recognised AI or LLM crawler user agent that our origin served, counted in rolling 24-hour and 30-day windows (UTC), recomputed on demand at most every 15 minutes. As of 9 Oct 2026, 02:04 UTC: 32,998 in the last 24 hours and 1,112,076 in the last 30 days. The agents counted are exasearchbot, desearchbot, meta-webindexer, grokbot, reflectionbot, chatglm-spider, spiderling, gptbot and 20 more; search engines and SEO tools are never included. Every figure is a floor, because requests served from the Cloudflare edge never reach our origin. The same numbers are published as JSON at rightaichoice.com/api/vendor/live-stats and explained at rightaichoice.com/ai-crawl-stats.
06Are paid AI tool listings worth it?+
Mostly no, and we say so on our own guide: most listing sites send under ten visits, many are dead, and a fee that buys a "verified" badge or a followed link buys nothing a buyer trusts. What is worth paying for is narrow — speed you actually need and a record that stays true. That is all RAC Verified sells: a written decision within 48 hours and a listing our pipelines keep re-verifying. We do not sell rankings, placement or citations, and if we reject you the fee comes back automatically.
07How do I reach a person?+
Email tanmay@rightaichoice.com — that is the founder's inbox, not a ticket queue. Corrections to a published listing can also be sent from the "Work at this company?" line on any tool page.
08Which 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. RAC Verified ($79) gets the written decision within 48 hours, the priority page build, distribution to search and AI engines the day you publish, the snapshot, and the dated verified-live badge for your site on day one; the $19/month Change Monitor and the $49/month Visibility Report can be added to the same order. The fee is refunded in full, automatically, if we reject — so the downside is time-boxed to zero. Free reviews are paused for now (next update 9 October 2026); the editorial bar is identical either way.
09Does 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.
10Does 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.
11How 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.
12What 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.
13What 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.

Ready? A person reads your tool within 48 hours — refunded in full if we say no.
