DirproofStop guessing where to submit your AI tool.
Dirproof is a ranked list of free directories for AI tools. Every listing is checked by hand: is the submit form there, is it free, is the link dofollow, and what is the site's DR.

How it works
- Pick from a ranked list. Directories are sorted by a transparent score, so the ones most likely to be worth your time come first.
- Describe your tool once. The Launch Kit writes a tagline, short and long description and maker comment for every directory, cut to fit its limits.
- Plan, submit and follow up. Spread submissions over the days you choose, get reminders at 7, 14 and 30 days, and check that each link is still live.
Free, always
Free directories only
No paid listings, so you do not hit a paywall halfway through a form.
Checked by hand
Link type, price, submit form and DR for each site, with the date we checked.
Transparent score
One clear formula. You can see exactly why a directory ranks where it does.
Status tracking
Mark each directory as submitted, approved or skipped, and export a CSV.
Submission guide
Copy-ready templates, UTM tags and a how-to for checking links yourself.
Public change log
Every change to the list with its date on the updates page.
How we check
For every directory we open the submission page, confirm whether listing is free, inspect a live listing's outbound link for nofollow, ugc or sponsored, and measure DR for all sites on the same day with the same tool. Each listing shows its check date.
What we are doing right now
The current list has 22 free directories, checked on 2026-10-06.
Next, we will submit to each directory ourselves and record how long approval takes and whether the link is still live after 30 days. We will publish those results only once we have them. Until then, listings show what we checked, not guaranteed results.
Launch Kit: early access
The list stays free. The paid Launch Kit turns it into a plan you can finish:
- Texts for every directory, written from your tool's profile, cut to each site's limits at a sentence boundary, with UTM links. No two directories get the same text.
- A submission calendar with follow-up reminders at 7 and 14 days and a link check at 30 days (.ics for Google, Apple or Outlook calendars).
- Link check: paste a listing page and see if your link is there and whether it is dofollow.
- Dates, notes and an overview of approvals, rejections and average approval time.
- Playbooks from our own submissions, added as we collect real results.

FAQ
Is the list really free?
Yes. The ranked list, scores, status tracking, guide and change log stay free. Only the Launch Kit is paid.
What is in the Launch Kit?
Submission texts written for every directory from your tool's profile, a submission calendar with reminders, link checks, dates and notes for each directory, and playbooks from our own submissions as we collect real results. The texts are drafts you should read and edit.
What is a backlink?
A backlink is a link from another website to yours. Search engines treat links from other sites as one of many signals when they decide how to rank pages.
What is the difference between dofollow and nofollow?
A nofollow link has rel="nofollow", "ugc" or "sponsored" on it. It tells search engines not to pass ranking credit. A dofollow link has none of these. Nofollow links can still bring visitors.
What is DR?
DR (Domain Rating) is a third-party score from 0 to 100 that estimates how strong a site's backlink profile is. It is not a Google metric. We measure every directory on the same day with the same tool so the numbers can be compared.
Do you guarantee a higher DR or ranking?
No. Results depend on your site, and directories can change their rules at any time. We show what we checked and when.
Are paid directories included?
Not at launch. The list starts with free directories only.
How often is the data updated?
Every listing shows its check date. We aim to re-check each directory every 30 days, and the list flags any listing whose check is older than 60 days.
What about refunds?
Paid access is not open yet. Refund terms will be published on the Terms page before it opens.
