How to Submit to AITach, and What to Have Ready First
AITach (aitach.com) lists around 3,800 AI tools. Its submission page at /submit-a-tool loads for anyone and spells out the rules, but the form itself only appears once you sign in, and signing in means Google, Facebook or GitHub. Ahrefs rates the domain 11.
This is one of ours, so what follows is the version we would walk a customer through. The useful thing about AITach is that you can read every requirement without an account, which means the whole job can be prepared in advance and then pasted in one go. That preparation is what this page is mostly about, because the form asks for ten things and two of them are easy to get wrong.
A jpg at exactly 450 by 250. A short description under 200 characters. A full description as plain text. One category. One to three tags. A pricing type and the price itself, zero if free. Get these on the clipboard first and the logged-in part takes minutes.

Per aitach.com/submit-a-tool, its listings, robots.txt, the sitemaps and archived copies, read on 11 August 2026. Domain Rating is Ahrefs' figure via submitator.com/domain-rating-checker; no second provider was queried. Important scope note: the submission form sits behind a login and was not inspected. Nobody registered, signed in or submitted anything, so the field list described on this page comes from a logged-in screenshot supplied by the directory's own submitters rather than from our own inspection, and everything about what happens after you press submit is outside what we can report. What we did verify anonymously: /submit-a-tool returns HTTP 200 with no redirect and contains no form, input, select or textarea element at all, offering a 'Login to submit a tool' button instead; the only sign-in options rendered are Connect with Google, Connect with Facebook and Connect with Github, with no password or email field across the 23 files captured and the usual /register paths returning 404. The link audit covers 50 listings widened to 72, every one carrying a single outbound anchor with rel='nofollow noopener', none missing a rel and none marked sponsored or ugc, including the sponsored slot; hrefs carry no tracking parameters and no redirect wrapper. Durability is from 14 listings traced back 17 to 32 months, all still live with identical markup. Cloaking was checked on four URLs with a same-agent control first. The catalog figure reconciles across three independent counts. No price for submitting is published anywhere, and the site does not describe submission as free either. The only timing language published is 'as soon as possible'. Submitator submits here as part of its catalog: $29 for 30 directories, $49 for 60 and $79 for 100, one-time, chosen by you in the dashboard with DR shown, badges installed and kept live, a live link per completed listing, rejections credited back as +1 directory and a 30-day refund policy on the conditions in our terms.
How to submit to AITach, step by step
- 1
Read the rules first, because you can
Open aitach.com/submit-a-tool while logged out. The whole ruleset renders for anonymous visitors even though the form does not, so you can find out whether you qualify before deciding about an account.
- 2
Check you are not disqualified
Their rules state that 'tools with a waiting list or hidden pricing will not be added'. If you are pre-launch behind a waitlist, or you do not publish your pricing, that is a no before you start rather than a rejection afterwards.
- 3
Make the image at exactly 450 by 250
The spec is jpg or jpeg, 450 pixels wide by 250 tall. Exact dimensions are the sort of requirement that sends people back to a design tool halfway through a form, so export it before you begin.
- 4
Write the short description as a standalone line
Under 200 characters, and treat it as the most important text you will supply. The same line becomes the page's meta description, its social preview text and the blurb on every grid card, so it needs to read on its own without the rest of the listing around it.
- 5
Draft the full description in plain text
The editor accepts formatting, and it also accepts pasted markup as-is, which is how the odd listing ends up carrying a wall of stray formatting. Paste plain text and apply any emphasis inside their editor rather than bringing it from a document.
- 6
Sign in and paste
The only routes in are Connect with Google, Connect with Facebook and Connect with Github. Once you are through, the form wants the tool name, short description, URL, category, pricing type, price, one to three tags, the image and the full description.
The form is gated, but the rules are not
This arrangement is unusual enough to explain properly. Requesting aitach.com/submit-a-tool without an account returns a perfectly normal page: HTTP 200, no redirect, no error. What that page does not contain is a form. There is no input element, no select and no textarea anywhere in it. What sits where the form would be is a single button reading Login to submit a tool.
The upside is real: every requirement, including the disqualifiers, is legible before you commit to anything. Plenty of directories make you register first and discover the rules afterwards. The constraint to plan around is the sign-in itself, which is offered as Connect with Google, Connect with Facebook and Connect with Github, their spelling. Across the pages we captured there was no password field, no email field and no magic-link option, and the usual registration paths return 404. If you were expecting to create an account with an address you can hand to a colleague, that option does not appear to exist.
The one field worth real effort
The short description is capped at 200 characters and nothing on the form explains how far it travels. Looking at published listings, that same line does three jobs at once: it is the meta description search engines show, it is the Open Graph and Twitter description that appears when anyone shares the page, and it is the text on every card wherever your tool shows up in a grid.
So write it to stand alone. A sentence that begins mid-thought, or that only makes sense underneath your product name, will read badly in all three places. Say plainly what the product is and whom it serves, inside the cap, and read it back on its own before pasting it.
The full description behaves the opposite way: it is generous, with a proper editor, and it passes pasted markup straight through. That is worth knowing because it is how a listing occasionally ends up displaying a heap of formatting somebody dragged in from another tab. Paste plain text, then style it inside the editor if you want to.
Choosing the category and tags
The form asks for one category and between one and three tags, and the vocabularies are large: dozens of categories and a few hundred tag hubs live on the site. Two practical notes. Where two categories look like near-duplicates of each other, the one with more tools in it is the one people actually browse, so prefer it. And with tags, look at which hubs already exist and have entries rather than inventing a phrasing of your own, since a tag with a populated page is worth more than a tidy one nobody visits.
What the listing gives you
A page of your own, and a nofollowed link. Each listing carries exactly one outbound anchor pointing at the tool's site, and it is marked rel="nofollow noopener". We checked fifty listings, then widened to seventy-two, and every one was identical, with none missing a rel attribute and none marked sponsored or ugc. The sponsored placement on the site is nofollowed too, so that is a consistent policy rather than an oversight on free entries.
What is good about the page is that it stays put and stays clean. The href is the plain address of your site, with no tracking parameters bolted on and no redirect in between, which is more than several larger directories manage. And the entries last: of fourteen listings we traced back between seventeen and thirty-two months, all fourteen were still live with the same markup.
On timing, the only language published anywhere is that things happen as soon as possible, and since we did not go through the form we have nothing to add about what follows a submission. Note the date you sent it and check back.
Prepare once, submit everywhere.
The image, the short description and the tags get retyped into every directory on your list in slightly different shapes. That is the part worth handing over.
Worth doing?
Yes, with clear eyes about what it is. You get an indexable page of your own on a site with several thousand listings, the entry survives for years, and the link is clean even though it is nofollowed. The rules being public is a genuine courtesy: you can tell in thirty seconds whether a waiting list or unpublished pricing rules you out.
The costs are the account and the image. A social-only login is a small nuisance if you keep work and personal accounts apart, and an exact 450 by 250 jpg is one more asset to produce. Prepare both before you start and the rest is pasting.
Rules in the open, form behind a login.
Read the requirements at /submit-a-tool without an account, then sign in with Google, Facebook or GitHub to see the fields. Bring a 450 by 250 jpg and a short description under 200 characters, which doubles as your meta description and your social preview. Waiting lists and hidden pricing are refused outright. The link is nofollowed; the page lasts. Browse the directories.
FAQ
Where is the AITach submission form?
At aitach.com/submit-a-tool, but not in the way you might expect. That URL loads normally for anyone, with the full set of rules on it, and yet it contains no form controls at all: no input, no select, no textarea anywhere in the page. In their place is a button reading 'Login to submit a tool'. So you can read every requirement before committing to an account, which is genuinely useful, and then you have to sign in to type anything.
How do you create an AITach account?
Through a social login only. The options offered are Connect with Google, Connect with Facebook and Connect with Github, spelled that way on their page. Across the pages we captured there is no password field and no email field anywhere, no magic-link option, and the usual /register paths return 404. There is no way we could find to make an ordinary email-and-password account, which matters if you were planning to hand the credentials to someone else.
What do you need to prepare before submitting to AITach?
Six things, and all of them can be ready before you log in. An image in jpg at exactly 450 by 250 pixels. A short description under 200 characters. A full description, which you should paste as plain text. One category. Between one and three tags. And a pricing type plus the actual price, with zero meaning free. Having these on the clipboard turns the form into a few minutes of pasting rather than an evening of decisions.
How important is the AITach short description?
It is the highest-leverage field on the form, and nothing on the site tells you so. That single sub-200-character line is reused as the page's meta description, as its Open Graph and Twitter description, and as the text on every grid card where your tool appears. So it is simultaneously your search snippet, your social preview and your listing blurb. Write it as a standalone sentence that makes sense with no context around it, rather than as the opening of a longer thought.
What will AITach not accept?
Their published rules name two disqualifiers outright: 'tools with a waiting list or hidden pricing will not be added.' If your product is still gated behind a waiting list, or if you do not publish what it costs, the rules say you are out before you start. That is worth reading first, since most directories leave you to discover this sort of thing afterwards.
Are AITach links dofollow?
No. Each listing carries exactly one outbound anchor to the tool's own site and it is marked rel='nofollow noopener'. We checked 50 listings and then widened to 72, and all 72 were the same, with none missing a rel and none marked sponsored or ugc. The sponsored slot on the site is nofollowed as well. What you do get is a durable page: the hrefs are clean, with no tracking parameters and no redirect wrapper, and 14 of 14 listings we traced back between 17 and 32 months were still live with the same markup.
Does Submitator submit to AITach?
We cover it. Fair warning that this is one of the heavier forms on the list: an account you can only create through a social login, an image at a specific size, a category out of dozens and a tag shortlist. That is the kind of form worth handing over, though the social-login requirement means account creation is a step that has to sit with whoever owns those accounts. Our starter tier is $29 for thirty of them, picked by you off a named list with the ratings alongside.
