Eligibility

Who YAATD accepts

You need
An email address, which is the only account-like thing asked for
A title, a link, a description and a screenshot
You'll be rejected if
An editor model checks whether you are an actual AI tool before anything else, so a product that is not one is refused at that step rather than at a human's discretion.
AI tools
What you actually get
A listing with a title, link, description, key features, use cases, up to three categories and an image, in English only on the free lane. The free backlink is nofollow by their own pricing table, and dofollow is one of the things the paid tiers buy, alongside immediate publication and translations into sixteen languages. The editorial model decides first, and only then are you shown the price: approval and payment are separate gates.

How to submit to YAATD

  1. Fill the form
    Title, link, description, screenshot. Their own estimate is two minutes and they say no account is needed beyond an email.
  2. Pass the editorial model
    An editor model checks whether you are an actual AI tool, scores the quality of the submission and proposes rewrites if the copy needs work.
  3. Pick a placement
    If approved, choose the free queue or pay for featured. Their line is that the listing goes live either way, but the free lane waits 90 days.

Gotchas

The free wait is quoted twice and the numbers are far apart. Their pricing page says a 90 day queue; the checkout shows a live position, which read "~22 days (220 listings ahead of you)". Trust the checkout figure, because it is the one derived from an actual queue.
The free lane's backlink is nofollow, stated plainly in their pricing table. Dofollow, immediate publication and translation are what the $49 and $259 tiers buy.
Approval is decided by a model before you are shown any price: it checks whether you are an actual AI tool, scores the submission and can propose rewrites. Passing that is not the same as being published.
The free route is the small print at the bottom of a checkout page whose whole layout is two paid cards and a billing form. It reads as the thing you do if you cannot afford the real option.
Free listings are English only. The sixteen-language translation belongs to the paid tiers, so there is nothing multilingual to gain on the free lane.

Let your agent submit to YAATD

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the YAATD 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.

Their pricing page calls that 90 days; the checkout quotes a live figure instead, which read "~22 days (220 listings ahead of you)" for us. Featured is $49 for 60 days or $259 for 365, and both include a lifetime dofollow backlink and translations into 16 languages.
