Capterra
G2’s older cousin for “best X software” queries. High intent, high effort, optional PPC. Not a launch party.

FutureTools is one of the better-known AI directories after TAAFT. Submission is a form plus wait. Ranking inside a category is the prize, not ‘getting listed.’
Matt Wolfe’s FutureTools catalog is a filter on the AI-tool firehose. Getting in is not automatic. Once in, you sit next to fifty other ‘AI for X’ products. Category rank and a real demo matter more than the badge.
