Pay once · no card on this page

A person reviews every submission, and a no always comes with the reason. A bundle is paid by email after you submit, and nothing is charged if we do not list you. No plan buys a yes, a rank or a score.

What every listing gets, how paying works, what money never buys

Every listing includes

  • A page of its own in your category, reviewed by a person
  • An Effect score and a Trust score, computed — never typed in
  • Questions and reviews from readers, on your page
  • Re-checks of your site on a schedule, with the date shown
  • A dashboard with the review status and the clicks you are sent
  • As research fills in: task, price-band and head-to-head pages

How paying works

  1. No card on this page: pick a bundle and submit
  2. We reply by email with how to pay
  3. A person reviews it within 48 hours of payment — a no comes with the reason
  4. Nothing is charged if we do not list you; the rest of the bundle starts once you are live

For scale: the median one-time paid listing across 32 AI directories we checked is $49.

What money never buys

  • approval
  • your rank
  • your Effect score
  • a “verified” mark
  • a followed link

Links from listings carry rel="nofollow sponsored" — what Google asks of paid placements. Rank and scores are computed the same way for everyone. The free badge: what it looks like.

Questions founders ask before they submit

Is listing on EffectHub free?

It can be. A free listing is paid for with our badge on your home page (the footer is fine; a “featured on” page does not count), and the badge goes up before review: the snippet arrives the moment you apply, we review a free listing once it is on your home page, and without it the answer is “not yet” — you send it again in one click when it is up. Once you are live we check it every day, and the listing is hidden while the badge is missing. Or pick a launch bundle — from $39, one-time — and owe no badge.

What is in the launch bundles?

Three, one-time: Premium ($39) — reviewed within 48 hours of payment — skip the free queue; no badge owed on your site; “premium launch” mark on your card and first spot in just launched for 7 days; launch story on our blog, linking to your site. Growth ($197) — everything in premium: 48-hour review, mark, story; hand-submitted to 30+ ai directories and launch platforms, with a report; banner on every page of effecthub for 7 days. Takeover ($325) — everything in premium: 48-hour review, mark, story; hand-submitted to 50+ ai directories and launch platforms, with a report; banner on every page of effecthub for 7 days; banner in the newest feed on the home page and /new for 7 days. Every bundle is reviewed within 48 hours of payment and owes no badge; what a bundle lists is what it delivers, and none of them buys a yes.

How do I pay for a bundle?

There is no card form on the site. Pick the bundle when you apply: the submission goes to review like any other, and we email you how to pay. Nothing is charged if we do not list you.

Can I pay to rank higher or raise my score?

No. Rank, the Effect score, the Trust score and the verified mark are computed the same way for every tool and are never for sale, and links from listings carry rel="nofollow sponsored" — we do not sell followed links. A bundle buys speed, no badge and the placements its card lists — never a yes, a rank or a score.

Do I need an account?

Yes, and it takes a minute: email and password, or one click with Google. Your listing is filed from the account — that is where you follow the review, check the badge and see the clicks your page sends you — and the outcome goes to its address.

My tool is already listed. What now?

Submit its URL anyway: we show you the existing page and you can claim it. A person checks every claim; an email on the tool's own domain makes that quick.

What happens if I take the badge down?

A free listing is hidden while its badge is missing and comes back at the next daily check after the badge does. Taking it down again and again to dodge the check is a reason to remove the listing for good. A bundle (from $39) ends the requirement.
