What you actually get
A page at /ai-tool/<slug> with a description, a category or two, a pricing badge and a Visit Website button, sitting in a catalogue the site advertises as 400+ tools. The Visit Website link is rel="nofollow noopener", so what you get is exposure rather than link equity, and every page on the site carries a banner saying they may earn commission on links, which is what the traffic is for.

How to submit to Freemium AI

  1. Read the two lanes on Get Listed
    /get_listed/ sets out standard submission, free with a stated 3 to 5 day review, and premium at a one-time $5 for instant publication. It also promises better SEO, which the live pages do not deliver.
  2. Register an account
    Registration is username, email address, password and re-enter password. There is no Google, GitHub or any other social option on either the register form or the sign-in modal.
  3. Add the listing from the dashboard
    The listings dashboard carries an Add Listing button. The public directory is organised into eleven categories, one of which is Digital Marketing and SEO.
  4. Wait out the free queue
    Their own figure is 3 to 5 days for the free lane. The $5 tier skips the wait and changes nothing else about the listing.

Gotchas

The pitch and the markup disagree about SEO. Their Get Listed page sells the listing on better SEO and improving your search ranking, and the Visit Website button on a live listing carries rel="nofollow noopener". Whatever the listing is worth, it is not link equity.
There is no social sign-in anywhere. Both the register form and the sign-in modal are username and password only, so getting listed means creating and storing another password before you can reach the form at all.

Let your agent submit to Freemium AI

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the Freemium AI playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.

What it does for this platform
Checks your product against the 4 Freemium AI rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 5 fields this form asks for, none of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Tells you what paying buys here, so you pick it on purpose: standard submission is free: register, fill the form, and they say review and approval typically takes 3 to 5 days. Premium is a one-time $5 and the only thing it buys is speed, publishing the listing instantly instead of queueing it. The listing itself is the same either way, and so is the nofollow.
Types it into Freemium AI in your own browser, and stops for you when the form wants a sign-in.
Records what it sent, so the dashboard can answer "did I ever submit to Freemium AI?".
