What you actually get
A listing in a directory that claims just under 9,000 AI tools, with a logo, a screenshot, three benefit chips, three feature chips, three use-case chips and a three-step how-it-works panel. A pinned launch post in your own voice sits on the listing's discussion thread if you write one. On the free tier the outbound link is nofollow, which the platform states plainly on the plan card, so what the free listing buys is placement and discussion rather than link equity.

How to submit to ChatableApps

  1. Sign in
    The submit link goes to a login offering a magic link or Google. Google creates the account in one click with no separate registration form.
  2. Read the approval notice and start
    The first step is a notice: English only, everything reviewed before going live, and a line saying listings are free with paid plans that speed up review.
  3. Basics and media
    Name, short description, detailed description, URL, platform, screenshot, logo, three sets of chips for advantages, core features and use cases, then your product's own pricing model.
  4. Details and extras
    Supported languages, data training policy, compliance, integrations and promo codes, all optional, plus three how-it-works steps that are not.
  5. Write a launch post
    An optional pinned maker story on the listing's discussion thread, 80 to 5,000 characters, with an option to schedule it.
  6. Choose the plan and create
    Three cards, with the paid Standard one already selected. Pick Free, then Create.

Gotchas

The free listing's link is nofollow and the plan card says so in as many words. The permanent dofollow is the headline feature of the $29 and $99 tiers, so doing everything right on the free path still gets you no link equity.
The paid Standard plan arrives already selected on the final step, with the free card sitting unhighlighted beside it. A maker who fills six steps and clicks straight through buys a listing they meant to get free.
Free submissions are rate limited to one processed per day across the whole site, which is where the month-long wait comes from.
The name and the URL are frozen at submission. Everything else can be edited later, so get those two right the first time.
