LaunchRepoAn AI agent directory is only worth your time if it has a place for agents and a free route that still works. Many lists name “free” sites without saying that one wants a badge on your homepage and another charges $49.99. From our catalog of 299 launch platforms we opened the agent section and submission rules of each candidate on September 28, 2026 and kept ten.
How we picked
- An agent section that loaded on the check day: an agents-only directory or an AI directory with its own agents category.
- A $0 route that worked on the check day. If it depends on a badge, a sign-in or an email, the entry says so; paid upgrades are named so you know what to decline.
- At most ten active catalog entries: agents-only first, then AI directories, then developer and launch sites. The order is not a ranking; we did not measure traffic from any of them.
The ten AI agent directories
For each directory: what it is, when it fits your agent, the check date and our source. The table below puts the conditions side by side.
AI Agents Directory
Agents-only directoryA directory built only for AI agents; its homepage counted 3,147 agents on the check day. The free plan is $0 forever but needs a sign-in and its badge on your site; the listing stays pending until the badge is verified. We listed LaunchRepo there ourselves: submitted on 14 September, public on 22 September.
Good fit if: you ship an agent, an agent framework or agent tooling and can place a badge on your site.
Stork.AI
Directory of AI tools, agents and MCP serversLists AI tools, agents and MCP servers in eight languages and accepts a live site, a GitHub repo or an npm package. The listing is $49 once or free with its badge, which must be in the HTML your server sends and is re-checked weekly.
Good fit if: your agent is open source or ships as an MCP server or npm package.
AI Tools Directory
AI directory with agent categoriesA curated AI directory with an AI Agents and a browser agents category. The free form needs no account; every tool is reviewed by hand, without a guarantee. The form says AI-written or copied descriptions are discarded.
Good fit if: you can write two short descriptions yourself and your pricing is public.
Best-AI.org
AI directory with an agent categoryA large AI directory (over 4,200 tools) whose AI Agents category held 73 tools. Submission is free forever, with one to two weeks of review.
Good fit if: you want a free listing next to comparable agents and can wait two weeks.
Intelligent Tools
Hand-checked AI directoryA smaller AI directory with 72 tools under AI Agents. The free listing needs no account or card and is reviewed by hand within seven days.
Good fit if: you want a quick, human review and a clear answer within a week.
Altern
Curated AI listA curated list of AI tools with 75 entries under AI agents. The free plan is reviewed by a human after a GitHub or Google sign-in; in our September run it also asked for a badge and a newsletter sign-up.
Good fit if: your agent is polished enough for a “best in category” list.
ShowMeBestAI
AI directory with agent tagAn AI directory with 113 tools tagged AI Agents. The free pack is $0 if its partner link sits in your footer; three fields, no account, review in 72 hours to four weeks. It writes your description itself, so check it later.
Good fit if: you accept a footer link and want the least typing.
TheseAItools
Free AI directoryAn AI directory with an AI agents category among 34. Free submissions are open with no paid upgrade; the form sends your details by email and the team approves by hand.
Good fit if: you want a listing with no upsell at all.
DevPages
Developer tool directoryA developer tool directory whose “AI agents & assistants” category (frameworks, coding assistants) held 15 tools. Listings are free and read by hand.
Good fit if: your agent is built for developers: a framework, SDK, coding agent or dev workflow.
CodeHype
Launch site with agent categoryA startup launch site with an AI Agents category. The free launch is a $0 community listing in the standard queue; the link is followed only while its badge stays on your site.
Good fit if: you want a launch-style page and a category page for your agent at the same time.

What to prepare
- A page that says “agent” in plain text
- Say what the agent does, which tools it uses and who it is for in visible text, not only in metadata.
- Your own short and long description
- One sentence and one paragraph, written by you. Some directories discard AI-written text.
- Public pricing and a working signup
- Several directories reject waitlists and “contact sales” pricing.
- A place for badges
- Four free routes need a badge or link on your site. Keep it in the server-rendered HTML; some checks do not run JavaScript.
- Repo, docs or package link
- Open-source agents and MCP servers can be submitted straight from the repository on Stork.AI. A README with install steps helps review.
Common mistakes
- Trusting “list yours free” in search results
- AI Agent Store is often listed as free, but its submission page asked $49.99 on September 28, 2026 ($99.98 with the followed link). We removed it from our catalog for that reason.
- Removing the badge after approval
- Badge-based free routes re-check your site; a missing badge can get the listing removed.
- Submitting the same agent twice
- Silence is not rejection. A second submission can put you at the back of the queue.
- Choosing a general category
- If there is an agents category, pick it. Under “productivity” nobody looking for agents finds you.
- Paying to skip a queue you did not need
- Fast Track offers appear at the last step. Decide beforehand whether a week of waiting matters for your launch.
Questions
What is an AI agent directory?
A website that lists AI agents, agent frameworks or agentic products so people can compare them. Some list only agents; larger AI directories have an agents category.
Is there a free AI agent directory?
Yes. All ten here had a $0 route on September 28, 2026. Four ask for nothing beyond review; the others want a badge, a footer link, a sign-in or your own descriptions in return. Paid options exist everywhere and are optional.
How do I submit an AI agent to a directory?
Explain the agent on your homepage in plain text, write your own descriptions, pick the agents category, read what the free route requires, submit once and note the date.
Is an AI agent directory the same as an AI agents marketplace?
Not quite. A directory links to your site; a marketplace sells or runs agents itself and often takes a fee. Many sites use both words.
Do these directories give dofollow backlinks?
Some free listings are nofollow, some followed, a few only while your badge stays online. We did not measure SEO impact from any of them.
Why is AI Agent Store not on the list?
Its only route was paid on the check day: $49.99, or $99.98 with a followed link.
Let your own agent do the submissions
LaunchRepo gives your AI agent a playbook for each of 299 launch platforms, including the badge and review rules above, plus a tracker for pending, live and rejected. The launch price is €99.98, paid once, for unlimited own products.
