Plans for AI makers

Listing is free. Verified Vendor, Featured and Spotlight add owner tools and labeled visibility. No plan changes reviews, ratings or upvotes.

For AI makers & vendors · Updated Nov 2, 2026

Listing an AI tool on AI Launch Zone is free. Paid plans are optional. They add tools for managing your listing and labeled places where more people can see it. Here is what each one includes.

Free listing

Any member can submit a tool at no cost. A free listing appears in the directory, where members can find it, review it, upvote it and compare it with alternatives.

Verified Vendor: $19 a month

  • A verified-owner badge, once we confirm you run the product.
  • Edit your listing at any time.
  • Up to 10 screenshots and a demo video.
  • A pricing and feature table.
  • View and click analytics.
  • An inquiry inbox for messages from members.
  • Public replies to reviews.

Featured: $49 a month

Everything in Verified Vendor, plus:

  • A Featured slot at the top of one category. Slots rotate, and each category has at most three.
  • A slot in the "Alternatives to" rails on related tool pages.

Both slots are labeled Featured.

Spotlight: $149 a month

Everything in Featured, plus:

  • A rotating place in the Sponsored spotlight on the homepage.
  • One labeled mention in the newsletter each month.

Annual billing

Each plan can be paid yearly for ten times the monthly price: $190 a year for Verified Vendor, $490 for Featured and $1,490 for Spotlight.

What no plan can buy

Paid plans buy visibility and tools only. They never change:

  • A review, or whether it stays up. Negative reviews are never removed for being negative.
  • A star rating.
  • An upvote count.
  • A position in any community-ranked list, including Top rated, Most upvoted and Trending.

Every paid slot is labeled, so members always know when a placement was paid for. Affiliate arrangements work the same way: they never influence rankings, reviews or votes.

Getting started

  1. Submit your tool, or find its existing listing in the directory.
  2. Confirm you run it. See how verified ownership works.
  3. Choose a plan from your directory dashboard.
