The $0 tier is a badge trade with the terms said out loud: one dofollow link, permanent only while the badge stays up, delisted the moment it comes down.

How to submit to AI Just Better
1
Sign in before the form
/submit redirects to a login offering Google, GitHub and email. Google is the fastest way through.
2
Fill the details step
Link, name, up to three categories and three tags from searchable lists, a short description and a markdown introduction capped at 25,000 characters, plus two image uploads.
3
Press Submit, which only creates a draft
It moves you to step two and the listing reads Plan Free, Status Submitting, Publish Date Not published. Nothing is live yet.
4
Read the one line that matters
Step two is headed with it: choose any paid plan or verify a backlink to publish. The $0 card below spells out the terms.
5
Deploy the badge, then verify
Their panel offers four themes and a Verify Backlink Badge button. It has to be live in your served HTML first, and they say the badge is subject to periodic automated checks afterwards.

Gotchas
The badge is not a one-off check. Their own note says it is subject to periodic automated checks and the free card says you are delisted if it is removed, so this is a permanent slot in your footer rather than a hoop.
Pressing Submit on the details step publishes nothing. It creates a draft reading Status: Submitting, and the listing only goes into the queue once the badge verifies or a plan is paid.
The free queue is seven days by their own card, against instant for the $4.9 tier, and the paid tiers also drop the badge requirement entirely.
An AI Autofill button sits inside the Link field and will write the whole listing from a scrape of your homepage if it is pressed.
