What you actually get
A listing in a directory that claims 300,000 monthly visitors, with its own MCP and Agent Skills sections, which is a rarer fit than the usual AI tool index. The pitch is explicitly about being recommended by assistants rather than about the link.

How to submit to EliteAI.tools

  1. Sign in
    Google, GitHub or email. The submit page is a modal until you do.
  2. Pick a tier
    Basic at $10, FastTrack at $19 or Boosted at $49, all one-time. The page is a pitch deck with traffic figures before it is a form.
  3. Pay, then fill
    Their FAQ has an entry for what to do after payment, so the listing details come after the card rather than before it.

Gotchas

There is no free tier at all. The cheapest way in is $10, and the page never offers a slower unpaid queue as an alternative.
The listing details are collected after payment rather than before it, so you cannot see the form you are buying.
They reserve the right to decline a request, and their FAQ says so in as many words, which puts the refund question on you before you pay.
The submit page opens as a sign-in modal over a sales page, so it reads like a form long before there is one.
