Where else to launch
13 launch directories a founder can submit an AI tool to, each with what it costs and what it demands in return. 13 of them were read against their own pages by hand rather than copied from a list.
12 publish a price on their own site; the remaining 1 does not, and this page says so rather than inventing one. 3 require a backlink or badge on your site as a condition of listing. Nothing here is sorted into free and paid, because that would mean parsing someone else's prose — the price sentence under each name is theirs, verbatim.
- AlternativeTo
Crowd-sourced, so your listing is edited by strangers.
