How to Submit Your Tool to AnyFP, and the Four Blocks Most Listings Are Missing
AnyFP (anyfp.com) is a catalog of 6,647 AI tools, and a listing costs nothing. No money changes hands at any point: the form at /submit runs three steps and thirteen fields, it ends at a Cloudflare Turnstile and the site tells you what happens next in a sentence very few directories in this category will commit to. "We review every submission before it goes live, usually within a couple of days." Ahrefs rates the domain 19.
AnyFP is in our own catalog, so the walkthrough below is a route we take. The interesting part turned out not to be the form at all. It is how little of it the published listings actually show.
Across 6,631 published listings, 246 carry a Key features block, 197 show a pricing tier, 166 show platforms and 6,486 have exactly one screenshot where four are allowed. Nineteen listings in the whole catalog have all four. The browse grid prints what you filled in, as a pricing pill and a Video mark, and adds a check once you verify ownership, so finishing the form is the cheapest way there is to stop looking like the six thousand entries around you.

Per anyfp.com, its robots.txt, sitemap index and all eight children, /submit, /for-makers, /about, /contact, /ai-draft, /tools, /tags and every /tools page from 1 to 277, plus a census of 6,631 published listings, read on 16 August 2026. Domain Rating is Ahrefs' figure via submitator.com/domain-rating-checker; no second provider was queried. Nothing was submitted through the form, no account was created and no payment was made. Field names, types, limits and option lists are read from the served markup of /submit, which renders the whole three-step form server-side: name maxLength 100, tagline minLength 10 and maxLength 200, description minLength 100 and maxLength 5000, priceNote maxLength 60, logo and screenshots typed as file with accept image/png, image/jpeg, image/webp, videoUrl typed as url, thirteen category options and three pricing options, six platform checkboxes, eleven labels carrying a star and ten elements carrying the required attribute, the odd one out being the platforms checkbox group. The Cloudflare Turnstile is loaded from challenges.cloudflare.com with sitekey 0x4AAAAAAD3LEJdt6tD6CymK, and the form also carries a hidden text input named website2 and a timestamp field. The catalog figure of 6,647 is the counter printed on /tools; the census walked the 6,649 root-level URLs in the sitemap index, of which 16 returned 404 and 6,631 returned a tool listing carrying SoftwareApplication data, the remaining two being site pages rather than listings. Across those 6,631, the outbound anchor to the listed tool carries rel="noopener nofollow ugc" on all 6,556 listings that have one, with no other rel value appearing anywhere and 75 listings carrying no such anchor at all. None of the 6,631 carries a robots meta tag, all 6,631 are their own canonical, and each emits SoftwareApplication and BreadcrumbList JSON-LD. Publication dates come from the datePublished field in that JSON-LD and run 2021-12-31 to 2026-08-14, distributed 4 in 2021, 1,376 in 2022, 844 in 2023, 338 in 2024, 1,699 in 2025 and 2,370 in 2026. Completeness counts are from the same census: 246 listings render a Key features block, 197 a pricing tier, 166 platforms, 6,486 exactly one screenshot, 21 more than one and 19 all four. Feature lines are cut at exactly 120 characters: across the 142 listings whose bullets can be counted there are 650 lines, 22 of them exactly 120 long and none longer, with 37 listings using all eight lines and 44 using one. Badge counts are a walk of all 277 browse pages under the default sort, ending at the first empty page: 36 ownership-verified checks, 19 Video marks and 153 pricing pills, all of them on the first 7 pages. Category sizes are the applicationCategory values across the census. Quoted lines are character-exact from /submit, /for-makers, /about and /contact. 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 AnyFP, step by step
- 1
Write the long description first, because it has a floor
The Full description will not submit under 100 characters and stops at 5,000, and a live counter under the box keeps score until you clear the floor. The One-line description has a floor too, 10 characters, with a ceiling of 200. AnyFP also runs a page at /ai-draft that hands you a prompt to paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini so the assistant reads your site and drafts the wording, and they are careful about what it does: "nothing is sent from this page, and a person still reviews every listing."
- 2
Check you are not already in there
Duplicates are one of the three things their About page says gets kept out, alongside dead links and "pages that are just there to game search engines". The catalog is 6,647 tools deep, so search your own name on /tools before you write anything. If you find yourself, the job changes: the listing has a Claim it link on it and you go to verification instead.
- 3
Step one is four boxes
Tool name, capped at 100 characters. Website URL, typed as a URL so a bare domain without the protocol will be rejected by the browser before it reaches them. Category, from the thirteen above. And your email, which their own label marks as never published, and which is the address they will reply to if something needs fixing.
- 4
Pick a pricing tier, then use the price note
Pricing is Free, Freemium or Paid, and it is also a filter on the browse page, so it decides which shortlist you appear in. The Price note beside it is optional, capped at 60 characters, and it renders right next to the tier on your page: one live listing reads "Freemium · Preview free; full download paid", which is a lot more useful to a reader than the word Freemium on its own.
- 5
Tick every platform that is genuinely true
Six checkboxes: Web, iOS, Android, Desktop, API and Browser extension. They are the other browse filter, so they decide which shortlist you turn up in. The star on this one is enforced by their own script rather than by the browser: press Next with nothing ticked and it answers "Please select at least one platform." Only 166 published listings show a platforms row, which is what a field added later looks like in a catalog this old.
- 6
Key features, one per line, up to eight
They publish as a bullet list, and they are the block that makes a listing read like a product rather than a paragraph. Two things decide whether that works. Keep every line under 120 characters, because the list is cut at exactly 120, mid-word, with nothing to mark the cut, and 22 lines in the catalog end that way. Then actually use the lines: 37 listings fill all eight and 44 put the whole pitch on one, which is what a pasted paragraph looks like in a box that wanted a list. Their placeholder shows the shape with "Text-to-video generation", "Built-in voiceovers" and "Export to MP4".
- 7
Media is where the easy advantage is
A logo and at least one screenshot are both required, PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 5 MB each, and the screenshot field takes up to four. Almost nobody uses that: 6,486 published listings carry exactly one and 21 carry more. The video field is optional and asks for a YouTube URL, and it is the only optional field that earns you a mark on the browse card, a mark that appears on 19 cards across all 277 pages of the catalog.
- 8
Clear the Turnstile and send it
The last step carries a Cloudflare Turnstile checkbox and a Submit for review button. One quiet detail: the form ships a hidden text input named website2 that is meant to stay empty, so if your browser fills in every box it can find, that one is worth a look before you press the button. After that it is a human reading it, in their words usually within a couple of days.
What a finished listing carries
In order down the page: your name and category, the one-line description, the link to your site, the pricing tier with the price note beside it, the platforms row, the full description, Key features as a list, the screenshots, a Claim it prompt, the reviews block and a Similar tools grid from your own category. Blocks you left empty simply do not render, which is why so much of the catalog is three paragraphs and a logo.
The one-liner does double duty and is worth the ten minutes on its own. It is the line under your name on the page, the two-line card text everywhere you appear in a grid and the meta description of your own listing page. Two hundred characters is the ceiling, and the ones that read well say what the tool does to what, in the first six words.
The link, and how the page is set up
The outbound anchor to your site carries rel="noopener nofollow ugc", and that is the value on all 6,556 listings that have one, with no other value appearing anywhere in the catalog.
The page around it is put together carefully, which is not the norm at this size. None of the 6,631 published listings carries a robots meta tag, all 6,631 are their own canonical and every one of them is in the sitemap index rather than orphaned behind a browse grid. Each emits SoftwareApplication and BreadcrumbList structured data carrying your description, your category, your logo and your screenshot, with a datePublished and a dateModified. Their robots.txt is also unusual: it names GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, CCBot and Bytespider one by one and allows all nine, which is a deliberate choice at a moment when most sites are doing the opposite.
Claim the listing, then verify ownership
Listings carry a line reading that if you own the tool you can claim it to unlock editing, a ✓ Verified badge, and replies to reviews. That is the second half of the job and it is where the catalog thins out fast: walking all 277 pages of it, the verified check appears on 36 cards.
Verification is the ordinary kind, and their makers page puts the whole of it in one line: "Add a meta tag, file, or DNS record to prove you run the site. Takes a minute." What it buys is editing your own entry whenever the product changes, the check mark next to your name in every grid and the ability to answer reviews in public. On the price of that they are blunt: "Competitors charge for it; here it's free." The same page states the ranking policy in the same tone, "Ranking reflects quality and reviews, so you can't buy your way up."
How alive it is
Measurably, and the JSON-LD on every listing makes it easy to check. Publication dates run from December 2021 to 14 August 2026, and the shape is 4 listings in 2021, 1,376 in 2022, 844 in 2023, 338 in 2024, 1,699 in 2025 and 2,370 so far in 2026. In the thirty days to 14 August, 178 listings went up, and the newest of them carries that date. That is a catalog still being added to, which is not something every AI directory of this size can say.
On who runs it, the site says less. There is no company name, address or register number anywhere on it, and the contact page publishes one address, hello@anyfp.com. The About page puts the positioning plainly, that AnyFP is an independent project and is not affiliated with the tools it lists. The contact page adds one route worth knowing if you are already in the catalog: email them from an address on the tool's own domain and they will correct or remove the entry.
Nobody quits on the first form.
They quit on the eleventh, and a half-filled listing is what the grid shows for the next two years. Pick the thirty you want and let somebody else do the eleventh.
Worth doing?
Yes, and it is one of the better-run free listings in this category. No account, a stated turnaround, a real person reading it, no paid lane past that person, an indexable page with proper structured data on it, and a verification route that hands you editing rights and a check mark for nothing. At DR 19 the domain is not the reason to be there. The page is.
Do the whole form while you are in it. Eight features, four screenshots, the price note, every true platform, then the ownership check afterwards. Nineteen listings out of 6,631 carry even the basic four, features, platforms, a pricing tier and more than one screenshot, and the verified check appears on 36 cards in the whole catalog, so the bar for standing out here is not high, it is just further along than most people get before they close the tab.
Four blocks. Nineteen listings show all four.
Free, three steps at /submit and a Turnstile at the end. The one-liner runs 10 to 200 characters and the description will not go under 100. Eight features, four screenshots and a YouTube link are all allowed and almost never used. Claim the listing afterwards and verify with a meta tag, a file or a DNS record. The whole catalog.
FAQ
Is AnyFP free to submit to?
Yes, and they badge the form Free listing rather than leaving you to guess. There is no pricing page, no featured tier for sale and no checkout anywhere on the domain, and their terms put both halves of it in one line: "Being listed is free and is not guaranteed." Their About page draws the line explicitly: "Category placement and featured spots are editorial choices, not endorsements." The site carries Google AdSense, which is a different thing from selling placement in the catalog.
Do you need an account to submit to AnyFP?
Plan on one, and it is free. The form at anyfp.com/submit is served in full without signing in, so you can read every field and draft your answers before committing to anything, and their login page says what the account is for: "Sign in to submit tools, manage your listings and leave reviews." Registration takes a Google account or an email and a password, and the same login is what later lets you claim the listing and reply to reviews.
What does the AnyFP submission form ask for?
Thirteen fields over three steps, eleven of them starred. Basics: Tool name (capped at 100 characters), Website URL, Category and your email, which their label marks as never published. About the tool: a One-line description of 10 to 200 characters, a Full description of 100 to 5,000, a Pricing tier, an optional Price note capped at 60, six Platforms checkboxes and Key features one per line up to eight. Media: a logo and at least one screenshot, both PNG, JPG or WebP up to 5 MB, plus an optional YouTube link. A Cloudflare Turnstile sits above the submit button.
How long does AnyFP take to publish a listing?
They state it on the form, which is rare enough in this category to be worth quoting: "We review every submission before it goes live, usually within a couple of days." Their makers page describes the same step as "A person checks it for dead links, duplicates, and spam; usually within a couple of days." So a real person reads it, and the wait is theirs to state rather than ours to estimate.
What categories does AnyFP have?
Thirteen, and the select gives you no other option: Assistant, Audio, Business, Code, Design, Education, Gaming, Image, Lifestyle, Other, Productivity, Video and Writing. Productivity is the largest at 1,349 published listings and Gaming the smallest at 114. Underneath them sit 403 topic pages, which their own page describes as topics with five or more tools each, and those are assigned rather than chosen on the form.
Are AnyFP links dofollow?
No. The link from a listing to the tool's own site carries rel="noopener nofollow ugc", and that was the value on 6,556 of 6,556 listings that have one. What the page itself does carry is worth knowing: none of the 6,631 published listings has a robots meta tag, every one is its own canonical, every one is in the sitemap and each emits SoftwareApplication and BreadcrumbList structured data with your description, category, logo and screenshot in it.
What is the AnyFP Verified badge and how do you get it?
It is the check mark next to a tool's name in the catalog, and it comes from proving you control the website rather than from paying. Their makers page lists the three ways: "Add a meta tag, file, or DNS record to prove you run the site. Takes a minute." Verifying also unlocks editing your own listing and replying to reviews. They are pointed about the price of it too: "Competitors charge for it; here it's free." It is also rare: walking all 277 pages of the catalog, that check appears on 36 cards.
What gets a submission rejected on AnyFP?
Their About page names three things: "We keep out dead links, duplicate entries, and pages that are just there to game search engines." The makers page describes the same check as a person looking for dead links, duplicates and spam. So the practical bar is a working product page at a URL that is not already in the catalog, which you can check yourself by searching the site before you fill anything in.
Does Submitator submit to AnyFP?
Yes, we cover it. This is one to have done properly rather than quickly, because the gap between a listing that reads like a product and one that reads like a paragraph is four fields most people skip. Thirty directories run $29 on a single payment, and the list you pick them from carries a rating against every name.
More submit-to guides.
Thirty listings, none of them half-empty.
Thirty directories for $29, paid once. Every field a form marks required gets filled, badges go up and stay live where a site asks for one, and a directory that turns the listing down is credited back.
