Submit an AI tool: frequently asked questions
How do I submit my AI tool to zPlatform?
Pick a plan, then fill in the form at the bottom of this page: the tool name and URL, the founder name and email, a short description, the pricing, and two yes/no questions about an affiliate program and a lifetime deal. The free plan first checks that our badge is live on your site, then records the request. The paid plans open a secure checkout and your details travel with the payment, so nothing is entered twice. We then verify the facts against your own pages and publish the profile.
Can I submit my AI tool for free?
Yes, with our badge. Free listing without a badge is paused: we were getting a flood of fake and low-quality submissions, so the free plan now accepts a tool only once the ZPlatform badge, or a plain text link back to us, is live on your own site. We check it automatically before the submission is recorded. After that we list up to 25 new free tools a week, in the order they arrive, and the page shows the current wait. If you would rather not add the badge or wait, Verified goes live within 24 hours.
Which AI tools do you accept?
The product has to be live and usable today, with public pricing on its own site, an English interface, and AI doing real work in the product rather than a label on the homepage. Generative AI tools, AI agents, chatbots and AI-first SaaS all qualify. A tool that misses a criterion is told which one, and a paid plan is refunded in full if the tool is not accepted.
What does “Verified” mean?
The founder has confirmed the facts on the profile: pricing, features and official links. Each profile carries a “Last verified” date and the “Verified on zPlatform” badge. It means the facts are the founder’s own and checked against the product’s pages. It is not an endorsement, and it never changes a review verdict or a ranking.
Are a founder interview and an affiliate program listing included?
Yes, in the paid plans. Verified includes your affiliate program in the AI affiliate directory within 24 hours, with its commission, cookie and payment terms hand-verified (see the affiliate page). Featured Story adds your founder interview on /interviews/, with the question set sent within 1 business day of payment, next to the hands-on review. Full Distribution also submits your program to saasaffiliate.net. If you already have an affiliate program, answer Yes on the form and add its page. Nothing buys position in the directory, and your interview answers stay in your own words.
How does the badge work, and what happens if I remove it?
You paste a small snippet from the form (or the badge page) onto your site: the “Featured on zPlatform” image or a text link. On the free plan the badge is required, and it is what makes your profile link do-follow; we re-check weekly, and if the badge is gone the link goes back to nofollow and the profile stays live. The paid plans do not need it: they get the “Verified on zPlatform” badge, a permanent do-follow link, and we still ask you to keep the badge up.
How long does the free queue take?
We list a maximum of 25 new free tools per week, in the order they arrive. Only tools with a verified badge are in the free queue, and everyone waits in the same queue. The page shows the live wait when it can read the queue, otherwise about 14 days. Verified goes live within 24 hours instead.
When do I get my review or video?
On Featured Story and Full Distribution the written review is published within 7 days. On Full Distribution the video review on the ZPlatform AI YouTube channel follows within 14 days, embedded on your profile and free to reuse on your own site and in ads. If the tool is not ready to recommend after testing, you get a refund instead.
How does sidebar sponsorship work?
There is one exclusive 300×250 banner slot. It runs in the sidebar of every review, guide and best-of list, and on the blog hub, from Monday to Sunday, and nobody else is in the slot that week. It is clearly marked Sponsored, and the link is rel="sponsored", so it is never a ranking signal. It is $50 a week, for 1 to 6 weeks, or as a 1-week add-on to Verified, Featured Story or Full Distribution. After you pay you send the banner, the link and the alt text. You are paying for the placement: no traffic is guaranteed, and it never changes a verdict. When the slot is free, a house ad shows instead. See the open weeks.
What about refunds?
You get a full refund if your tool is not accepted. For the reviews, you get a refund if your tool is not ready to recommend. The fee pays for the work and the placement, never for a verdict.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Reviews built this way have ranked on Google and been cited in AI answers (see the screenshots above), but Google and the AI assistants choose their own sources and nobody can promise a position or a citation. A plan buys verification, the work and the distribution, never rank.
Can I update my facts later?
Yes. Reply to your confirmation email with the change (a new price, a new plan, a removed feature) and the profile is re-verified and re-dated.
