What you actually get
A review page at /review/<category>/<slug> written up as an editorial piece, with your description, feature list, pricing block and a Visit Website button that is a genuine dofollow (rel=noopener only, direct to your domain with utm parameters). They frame themselves as reviewers rather than a directory, so the page reads like a write-up and the bar is whether it meets their criteria.
How to submit to AI Pulse
1
Open the form, no account needed
/submit is a single page with no login. App name, description, website URL, one of 20 categories, free-plan and free-trial checkboxes, an optional starting price, up to ten key features and your email.
2
Add features one at a time
Key Features is a chip input: type a feature and press Enter, up to ten. They render as a list on the review page, so write them as capabilities rather than marketing lines.
3
Submit for review
Cloudflare Turnstile sits above the button and solves itself. Submitting replaces the form with a thank-you message.
4
Verify by email, or nothing happens
The confirmation says to check your email to verify the submission. Until that link is clicked, there is no review and no listing.

Gotchas
The submission is double opt-in and the verification email may never arrive. Ours did not: the form confirmed 'please check your email to verify' and nothing was delivered. There is no resend, no status page and no dashboard, so a submission that stalls here stalls silently and permanently.
They present as reviewers, not a directory, and say they will add your tool only if it meets their criteria, which are never stated. There is no queue page and no status to check.
