What you actually get
A product page under your own slug with your logo, tagline, description and gallery, filed under up to three of their thirty-odd categories. The free listing's outbound link is rel="nofollow noopener". They ask, but do not require, that you share a post and embed their badge to speed approval, and the badge code only unlocks once the listing is live.

How to submit to Best AI Brands

  1. Open /submit
    No account. There is an optional Product Hunt import at the top that fills the form from a PH link.
  2. Fill the form
    Name, URL, a tagline of at most 100 characters, a contact email, up to three categories, a description, a logo by upload or URL, and an optional gallery of three or more images.
  3. Tick the email consent and submit
    The confirmation reads "Submission Received" with the status Pending Review. Approval is by hand and no time is given.
  4. Decide about the upsell
    The same screen offers a $39 one-off PRO plan for dofollow links and a lifetime featured slot, with a "No thanks, I'll stick to free" link underneath.

Gotchas

The free listing's link is rel="nofollow noopener". Dofollow is the $39 PRO plan, sold on the screen right after you submit.
The approval advice on that screen asks you to post about it on social media and embed their badge, but the badge code only appears after your listing is approved, so it cannot be part of getting approved.
Approval is by hand with no stated wait and no queue page, so the confirmation screen is the only thing you get until an email arrives.
The Product Hunt import at the top is optional and does nothing if your product was never on Product Hunt.
