What you actually get
A permanent page under /tools/ in an AI directory of a thousand-odd entries, reachable from its category pages and offered in seventeen languages. Every listing we opened, featured or not, carries rel="dofollow" on both its Open site and Visit Website links, so the free tier looks followed in practice even though only the paid cards advertise it.

How to submit to BAI.tools

1
Find the form
It is /submit-ai-tools. Guessing /submit gives their 404, and the only control that reaches it is the +Submit AI item in the header.
2
Two fields
Tool name and website URL. That is everything they ask; there is no description, category or logo field at any point.
3
Pick the plan
Free is preselected and outlined. The two paid cards sit to its right at $19.90 and $29.90.
4
Submit, then sign in
Pressing Submit your AI Tool with no session redirects to a Google-only sign-in and returns you to an empty form. Fill it again and press submit a second time.
5
Read the wait
You land on /finish: "Submission Successful", reviewed by their team, up to 30 days.

Gotchas

The sign-in wall is at the end, not the start. Submitting signed out throws away both fields and drops you on a Google-only login, so fill the form twice or sign in first.
Their two screens disagree about the wait. The free plan card says the listing goes live in at least one month and up to six; the confirmation page says review takes up to 30 days.
The free card is the only one that does not list a dofollow link, so the followed link the listings actually carry is not something the free tier promises you.
