Submit Your AI Tool for Review and a Directory Listing
Short answer: use the form on this page to submit your AI tool. It is free, takes about 2 minutes, and covers AI tools, generative AI tools, AI agents, chatbots, and AI-first software. You get an acknowledgement within 48 hours; tools that clear our criteria get a directory listing, and selected tools get a hands-on review plus a product video within a 4 to 8 week queue. Submitting is not a guarantee of a review, and we do not sell positive verdicts.
Get your AI tool reviewed by Alston Antony - hands-on testing in real workflows, an honest verdict, permanent SEO real estate. Not every submission is guaranteed a review or a published verdict - the team reviews each listing and its quality, then gets back to you.
Want reach beyond the review? You can also submit your startup to 100+ directories with our done-for-you service to build high-DR backlinks and get discovered faster. Writers pitching an article instead of a product want the write for us page.

List your AI tool in the zPlatform directory
There are two things you can get here, and they run on different timelines. A directory listing is the fast layer: clear first-round inspection and your tool goes into the AI tools directory and its category archive. A hands-on review is the slow, selective layer on top. One form covers both - there is no separate "add your AI tool" flow to hunt for.
- A permanent listing page for your tool, indexed by Google and crawled by AI assistants
- Placement in the matching category archive and, where earned, the relevant best-of guide
- A dofollow link to your site from the listing
- Structured data on the listing so AI answer engines can cite your tool by name
- Free to submit and free to stay listed - there is no pay-to-list tier
Deciding where to get listed? An AI listing website is only worth the effort if real buyers read it. Ours is an editorial directory rather than an open AI tool marketplace: submissions are screened, so a listing carries weight instead of sitting in an unmoderated dump of 40,000 links. If you want breadth as well, pair this with our directory submission service and get listed across 100+ AI and startup directories at once.
Why submit your AI tool to zPlatform?
Reach 15,000+ AI tool buyers
Our community + newsletter audience is exactly who is shopping for tools like yours: SaaS founders, AI builders, marketers, agencies, and SMB operators with real budget. Selected tools get the best exposure to those buyers - built to drive sign-ups and sales, not vanity views.
A review + a video
Selected tools get a hands-on prompted review and a product video review, plus a spot in the relevant best-of guide. That credibility is what makes coverage convert into sales.
Permanent SEO real estate
Approved tools get a dedicated review page indexed by Google, plus inclusion in best-of lists and category archives. Backlinks and traffic compound over time.
Reviewed on merit
Every tool that enters the queue is judged on what it actually does in real workflows. We only publish reviews we would stand behind.
What we review (and what we don't)
We have a small editorial team and a long queue. To keep reviews high-quality and useful, your tool needs to clear a few baseline checks before it enters the queue.
- Real product
The tool must be live and usable. We do not review pre-launch landing pages, "join the waitlist" projects, or vapourware.
- AI is core, not a marketing wrapper
The AI capability has to be central to the value proposition. Adding "AI-powered" to the homepage is not enough.
- Transparent pricing
Pricing must be public on your site. If your model is "contact us for pricing", we cannot verify the value claim and will not review.
- No misleading claims
If the homepage promises something the product cannot do, the verdict will reflect that. Send us tools you are confident in.
- Working trial / demo / free tier
We need access to test. Offer a free trial, demo account, comp code, or sandbox - whatever works for your model.
How to submit an AI tool: the process
Six steps from form to published review. Founders submit AI tools here every week, so the queue is real - the timings below are what we actually hit, not a best case.
- 1You submit
Fill the form below with your tool, URL, pricing, and a short pitch. Takes 2 minutes.
- 2We acknowledge in 48 hours
Email reply confirming receipt + an indicative review window.
- 3First-round inspection (1-2 days)
Every submission goes through a first round of inspection against the criteria above. Not every tool makes it past this stage. If anything is missing, we ask. If it is a clear pass, it moves to the review queue.
- 4Hands-on testing (5-10 hours)
Real account, real workflow, real test cases. We document strengths, limitations, missing features vs alternatives.
- 5Verdict + publish
An honest verdict with reasoning. You get a draft preview before it goes live so you can flag factual errors (we do not change verdicts based on PR pressure).
- 6Review, video + distribution
Selected tools get a written review and a product video review, inclusion in the relevant best-of guide, and distribution across the newsletter, community, and social - the best exposure to put your tool in front of buyers and drive sales. We do not delete published reviews.
What a selected review includes
Reviews are how we build long-term reader trust. Every selected tool gets the same hands-on treatment - and the best exposure to turn that coverage into sales.
Turnaround: 4-8 weeks
- A hands-on prompted review by Alston
- A product video review of your tool
- An independent, honest verdict with full reasoning
- Pricing comparison vs top 3 alternatives
- Inclusion in the relevant best-of guide
- Distribution across the newsletter, community, and social - the best exposure to drive sales
Submit your tool
Takes about 2 minutes and costs nothing. One form for both the directory listing and the review queue - to submit an AI software product, an agent, or a chatbot, use this same form. We reply within 48 hours with next steps.

Submit an AI Tool: FAQ
How do I submit an AI tool to zPlatform?
Use the form on this page: tool name, URL, category, pricing, and 2 to 3 sentences on what it does and how we can test it. It takes about 2 minutes and it is free to submit an AI tool. You get an acknowledgement within 48 hours, and if the tool clears our criteria it enters the review queue. You can also email the details to hello@zplatform.ai.
Is this one of the best places to submit an AI tool?
It depends what you want. If you want volume, a bulk directory submission service gets you listed in 100+ places faster. If you want credibility, zPlatform is a stronger fit: you get a hands-on review by a named human, a product video, a directory listing, and placement in best-of guides that AI assistants cite. Most founders do both - broad directory coverage for links, and a small number of reviewed placements for trust.
Can I list my AI tool in the directory without a full review?
Yes. Every tool that clears first-round inspection gets a directory listing, even when it does not reach the front of the review queue. The listing carries your tool name, category, pricing, a dofollow link, and structured data so AI answer engines can cite it. The full hands-on review is the slower, more selective layer on top.
Do you accept generative AI tools, AI agents, and chatbots?
Yes. Submit generative AI tool entries, AI agents, chatbots, voice agents, RAG products, and AI-first SaaS - all are in scope, provided artificial intelligence is core to the value rather than a label on the homepage. Pick the closest category in the form and we will re-file it if it belongs elsewhere. Note that we review products, not vacancies: this is not a jobs or careers board, so recruitment listings are out of scope.
Can I submit software that is not strictly an AI tool?
Sometimes. To submit software for review here it needs a genuine AI component or a clear fit with an AI workflow our readers already run. A conventional SaaS product with no AI angle is a poor fit for the review queue, though it may still suit our directory submission service, which places startups in 100+ general and startup directories.
How do I submit a lifetime deal or discount instead of a tool?
Include the deal link in the form and flag it in your pitch - our AI deal submission route prioritises active lifetime deals because the window is time-sensitive. We will list the AppSumo, Dealify, or PitchGround URL as the affiliate link with proper disclosure. For seasonal offers, use the dedicated Black Friday form instead.
Will every tool I submit get reviewed and published?
No. Submitting does not guarantee a review or a published verdict. Our team reviews each listing and its quality first, then gets back to you. We have a small editorial team and a long queue, so we prioritise tools that clearly meet the criteria above.
How long until my tool gets reviewed?
Typical editorial queue is 4 to 8 weeks. Tools that fit a current category gap (e.g., a category we are actively building out) move faster. We will give you an indicative window in the acknowledgement email.
Will you guarantee a positive verdict?
No. We will not review tools at all if a positive verdict is a condition. Our verdicts have to mean something - that is the only reason readers trust them. If your product is genuinely strong in its category, the verdict will reflect that.
Can I see the review before it publishes?
Yes. We send a draft preview 5-7 days before publication. You can flag factual errors (wrong pricing, missing features that exist, misrepresented use cases). We will fix factual issues. We will NOT change the verdict, the tone, or who-should-skip sections based on PR feedback.
What kinds of AI tools are you NOT reviewing?
Tools without public pricing. Tools that are still pre-launch waitlists. Anything that violates major platform terms (e.g., engagement-faking on social platforms). Generic ChatGPT wrappers with no unique value. Tools targeting illegal use cases. We focus on AI tools with real businesses behind them.
My tool has a lifetime deal on AppSumo/Dealify/etc - should I still submit?
Yes - and please include the LTD link. Active lifetime deals get prioritised in the queue because the deal window is time-sensitive. We will include your AppSumo/Dealify link as the affiliate URL with proper disclosure.
Do you accept tools that are not in English?
We currently only review tools with an English UI. The audience we serve is English-first. We may add other languages in 2026-2027 - if interested, send a note via the contact form.
What if my pricing or features change after the review publishes?
Email us with the change details. Significant changes (new tier, big price drop, removed feature, lifetime deal launch) trigger a "modified" date update on the review and a refresh of the affected sections. We do not let outdated reviews sit there.
How do I submit a Black Friday deal specifically?
Use the dedicated Black Friday submission form at /black-friday/submit/ - it captures the seasonal-specific information we need. General submissions through this page are reviewed year-round.
