SwapLink is a curated web directory for browsing AI products and submitting one for on-site visibility.
The homepage is both a catalog and a submission desk: browse products, or submit one so it can stay visible. The about page says review should help a visitor understand a product quickly.
Core capabilities
Browse when you already know the job
Collections include free tools, monthly new, weekly new, featured products, open source, affiliates, and discounts. Categories include image, video, chatbots, writing, developer tools, and productivity. Task pages cover video, image, and audio tools. Category labels include a live count.
See what review actually checks
Review checks a working link, clear positioning, useful screenshots, and a category that makes sense to browsers. The form asks for URL, name, tagline, description, logo, screenshots, categories, pricing model, and platforms, plus optional discount, year, demo, GitHub, founder link, and affiliate URL.
Pick a visibility level
Standard listing is a product page with long-term directory visibility. Featured placement is stronger on-site exposure for a launch or an update. Sponsored visibility is additional paid placement across the site. The pricing FAQ says these plans do not promise search rankings.
How to use it
Find a product
- Open a collection, category, search box, or task page.
- Read the name, short description, category tags, and pricing label on the card.
- Open the official product site before you rely on the listing.
Submit a product
- Sign in and open Submit.
- Enter the product URL and the required copy and images.
- Choose free submission or a paid visibility plan. The submit FAQ says free review is usually within 7 days and paid plans are processed faster. Pricing cards say paid plans are approved immediately.
Who it suits
SwapLink fits someone comparing a short categorized set of AI products, and a team that wants the product listed after launch week. Submission questions go to support@swaplink.run.
It is a weak fit if you want a guarantee of outside search ranking, or if you need to submit many free listings on the same day. The pricing page says only a limited number of free submissions are available each day. It is also a weak fit if you need the directory to replace the product's own trial.
If you want standard, featured, and sponsored placement spelled out, start here. If you want free or open-source chips as the main filter, start with a directory built around those.
Pricing, access and limits
Reading the directory is free. A listing can be free or paid.
The free card offers standard directory visibility and a long-term listing, with manual review. It says a limited number of free submissions are available each day. Unlike some other directories, that free card does not state a required backlink.
Paid cards on the pricing page:
- One-Time is $9.99 once, with homepage featuring, a highlighted listing, 3 or more dofollow backlinks, a permanent listing that does not require your backlink, immediate approval, and priority support.
- Monthly Promotion is $5.00 per month, with a monthly return to the top, ongoing homepage exposure, a highlighted listing, and 5 or more dofollow backlinks.
- Featured Listing is $19.90 per month, with a site-wide top banner on a 7-day rotation and spotlight placement.
The pricing FAQ says you can move to a higher plan later. One-time and monthly options both exist. The listing stays discoverable, while extra placement depends on the plan. The page states no first-month discount and no refund window. Terms point refunds to the published refund policy, so do not assume a 14-day guarantee. Payment goes through a provider such as Stripe.
Frequently asked questions
Is browsing SwapLink free?
Yes. Collections, categories, and cards are public. Payment is for submitting with a paid visibility plan.
Is every free submission accepted the same day?
No. The pricing page says only a limited number of free submissions are available each day, and free listings are manually reviewed. The submit FAQ says that review is usually within 7 days.
Do paid plans guarantee search ranking?
No. The pricing FAQ says the plans are for visibility inside SwapLink, not for search-ranking guarantees.
What should I prepare before submitting?
The about page asks for a working URL, a clear name and tagline, a description of who the product is for, and screenshots that show the product. Review looks at those points and at whether the category fits browsers.
What is the difference between featured and sponsored placement?
Featured placement is stronger visibility inside listings and categories, aimed at a launch or an update. Sponsored visibility is extra paid exposure in sponsored slots when you want attention for a limited campaign. Standard listing is the long-term directory page without that extra placement.
