Frequently asked questions
Listing your AI tool on Meta Tools costs $49 per month (Builder plan), or $470/year billed annually — equivalent to $39/month and saving 20%. Early builders receive a 90-day free trial — no charge for the first 3 months. Cancel any time from your account settings.
The Builder plan ($49/month) includes: a permanent listing in the AI tools directory, a do-follow backlink to your product, placement in the weekly newsletter, a Verified Builder badge, an analytics dashboard with click and view data, and the ability to accept public reviews and star ratings.
Yes. Browsing Meta Tools is free. Free users can view all listings, read all reviews, visit up to 3 external tools per day (each tool page view or Visit Website click counts as one interaction), and run up to 5 AI stack recommendations per day (30 per month). Upgrade to Pro ($12/month or $96/year) to remove all limits.
A tool interaction is any direct engagement with an individual tool: viewing that tool's detail page, or clicking its Visit Website button. Both actions count toward the free limit of 3 per day. Browsing the general tools directory, reading the blog, or running AI recommendations are not counted as tool interactions.
Pro ($12/month) is for users who want to discover AI tools — it removes usage limits, enables ad-free browsing, and gives access to exclusive deals. Builder ($49/month) is for AI tool creators who want to list their product in the directory and reach developers actively searching for AI software.
Early builder subscriptions activated before our promo closes receive a 90-day free trial — no charge for the first 3 months. We track this automatically. Spot counts are shown on the pricing page when fewer than 10 remain.
