Where to List Your AI Agent in 2026

You built an AI agent. It works. Now comes the question every builder eventually Googles: where do I list this thing so people can find it? The landscape has exploded to 80+ platforms spanning indie directories, enterprise marketplaces, framework showcases, Web3 registries, and GitHub awesome lists. This guide covers every legitimate option — with honest assessments of which ones matter and which are noise.

Why This Matters Now

The AI agent market is projected to reach $47 billion by 2030, with thousands of new agents launching every month. But discovery remains the bottleneck. Most agents die in obscurity — not because they're bad, but because nobody knows they exist.

The landscape breaks into eight categories: agent-specific directories, general AI tool directories, enterprise cloud marketplaces, LLM provider stores, framework showcases, launch and review platforms, GitHub awesome lists, and blockchain registries. Smart distribution means covering all of them. The goal is to build a distribution strategy, not just a submission checklist.

Agent-Specific Directories

A wave of directories built exclusively for AI agents — not just "AI tools" — launched between late 2024 and early 2026. These are the highest-signal platforms if you've built something that actually does things rather than just generating text. They're the equivalent of early app stores, except the market hasn't consolidated yet.

Agent.ai

The most ambitious agent directory. Founded with involvement from HubSpot's Dharmesh Shah, it positions itself as "the #1 Professional Network for AI Agents" — more LinkedIn for agents than directory. Builders create profiles, publish agents via the Agent Builder, and join the Builder Network. 258,000 users within four months of launch. The limitation: it's built around using agents on the platform, not showcasing the builders behind them.

Users: 258,000+
Cost to list: Free
Best for: Productivity and business workflow agents
Audience: Business users, builders

agent.ai →

AI Agents Directory (aiagentsdirectory.com)

The largest independent directory with 2,105+ agents across 73 categories, plus an interactive landscape map, "AI Arena" for testing agents, a podcast, and an active subreddit. Free to list with sponsor tiers for enhanced visibility. They also maintain DiraBook — described as an open-source social network for AI agents.

Agents listed: 2,105+
Cost to list: Free
Best for: Broad visibility + community engagement
Audience: Developers, businesses, researchers

aiagentsdirectory.com →

AI Agent Store (aiagentstore.ai)

Both marketplace and directory with emphasis on AI automation agencies. Agents browsable by profession, industry, tag, and budget. Includes an AI Agency list connecting businesses with automation development shops. Publishes daily AI Agent News.

Agents listed: 500+
Cost to list: Free
Best for: Business buyers looking for task-specific agents
Audience: SMBs, automation agencies

aiagentstore.ai →

TrillionAgent (trillionagent.com)

Categorizes agents using 300+ human-equivalent roles — "AI Marketing Manager" or "AI Legal Researcher" instead of generic categories. Free to list with AI-powered search matching users to agents by use case. The role-based taxonomy helps enterprise buyers find agents that map to specific job functions.

Categories: 300+ role-based
Cost to list: Free
Best for: Enterprise-facing agents
Audience: HR and operations buyers

trillionagent.com →

Other agent-specific directories worth submitting to: AI Agents List (600+ agents with reviews, free), FindYourAgent.ai (200+ verified agents across 50+ categories), CogList (targeted at indie hackers), and AgentHunter (strong on coding and development agents).

Honest assessment: Agent-specific directories have the best audience fit but the smallest reach. If someone finds your agent here, they were looking for an agent — that's high-intent traffic. But total volume is still modest compared to general AI directories.

General AI Tool Directories

The big general-purpose AI directories carry the most traffic and many have added dedicated agent categories. Listing here puts you in front of the broadest audience — but you're listed alongside thousands of AI tools that aren't agents.

There's An AI For That (theresanaiforthat.com)

Dominates the space with 45,756+ tools listed, 1.8 million monthly unique visitors, and 6 million monthly page views. Newsletter reaches 2.7M+ subscribers. The catch: submission costs a $347 one-time fee (full refund if rejected). Steep for an indie builder, but the traffic justifies it if your agent has a clear value proposition. They offer one free listing per month via a thread on X.

Tools listed: 45,756+
Monthly visitors: 1.8M unique
Cost to list: $347 one-time
Best for: Maximum visibility + newsletter exposure

theresanaiforthat.com →

Toolify.ai

Second-highest-traffic directory at 5.1 million monthly visits with 26,000+ tools across 459 categories. Submission costs $99 one-time and includes a permanent listing with dofollow backlinks — decent SEO value. Listed within 48 hours.

Tools listed: 26,000+
Monthly visitors: 5.1M
Cost to list: $99 one-time
Best for: SEO backlinks + organic traffic

toolify.ai →

Futurepedia (futurepedia.io)

400K+ monthly visitors with a premium approach. Basic Listing ($247) is currently sold out. Verified Listing costs $497 one-time and includes a newsletter feature, verified checkmark, and video capability. Connected to the Skill Leap education network with 2M+ YouTube subscribers.

Monthly visitors: 400K+
Cost to list: $497 (Verified)
Best for: Premium positioning + video showcase
Note: Basic tier currently sold out

futurepedia.io →

FutureTools (futuretools.io)

Curated by AI YouTuber Matt Wolfe (~800K subscribers). Strict curation — no waitlist-only tools, newsletters, aggregators, or custom GPTs. Around 1,000+ tools listed. Matt's YouTube audience and 225K-subscriber newsletter give accepted tools meaningful exposure at zero cost.

Tools listed: 1,000+
Newsletter: 225K subscribers
Cost to list: Free
Best for: YouTube audience crossover + credibility

futuretools.io →

Additional directories worth the effort: TopAI.tools (2M+ monthly users, free + paid tiers), All Things AI (~1M monthly visits), Easy With AI (1,000+ tools, free + paid), AI Valley (1,700+ tools, free), Insidr.ai (500+ tools, free), and ToolPilot.ai (~60K monthly visits, free with backlink).

Honest assessment: General directories generate real traffic, but you're listed alongside thousands of AI tools that aren't agents. Signal-to-noise is lower. Worth doing for SEO backlinks and general visibility, but don't expect agent-specific buyers to find you here easily.

Enterprise Cloud Marketplaces

The cloud giants all launched dedicated AI agent categories in 2025. These require serious effort to list but deliver qualified enterprise buyers with budget authority.

Salesforce AgentExchange

First to market, launching at TDX '25 with 200+ partners. Lists four types of agentic components: Actions, Prompt Templates, Topics, and Agent Templates. All listings undergo rigorous security reviews including GDPR compliance. If your agent serves sales, service, or marketing workflows, this is where Salesforce's 150K+ customers look first.

Reach: 150K+ Salesforce customers
Cost to list: Partner program required
Best for: CRM/sales/service agents
Requirement: Agentforce + MCP compatibility

agentexchange.salesforce.com →

AWS Marketplace

Launched its "AI Agents and Tools" category in July 2025 with 900+ listings. Features AI-enhanced search with "agent mode" for conversational discovery. Partners include Anthropic, IBM, PwC, Stripe, and Perplexity.

AI agent listings: 900+
Cost to list: AWS partner registration
Best for: Infrastructure-level agents
Key feature: AI-enhanced conversational search

AWS Marketplace →

Microsoft Marketplace

Merged Azure Marketplace and AppSource in September 2025, attracting 6 million+ monthly visitors with 3,000+ AI apps and agents. Developers build agents using Copilot Studio and publish to the Agent Showcase within Microsoft 365. Over 90% of Fortune 500 companies use Microsoft 365 Copilot. Copilot Checkout also enables agent-powered commerce.

Reach: 6M+ monthly visitors, 90%+ Fortune 500
Cost to list: Copilot Studio license
Best for: Enterprise productivity agents
Key feature: Agent IDs tracking every AI action

Copilot Studio →

Google Cloud AI Agent Marketplace

Connects enterprises with pre-vetted agents validated for Gemini. The AI Agent Ecosystem Program provides early partners with GTM programs and co-selling opportunities with Google's sales team.

Reach: Google Cloud enterprise customers
Cost to list: Partner program
Best for: Gemini-compatible agents
Key feature: Co-selling with Google sales

Google Cloud AI Agents →

Other enterprise marketplaces: Oracle AI Agent Marketplace, Kore.ai (75+ templates, 100+ agents, 300+ integrations), ServiceNow Store, and Moveworks Marketplace.

Honest assessment: If you're an indie builder or small team, enterprise marketplaces are mostly aspirational. But if your agent serves enterprise use cases, these marketplaces put you directly in front of procurement teams with budget authority. The effort-to-reward ratio is high on both ends.

LLM Provider Stores

The large model providers are building their own agent ecosystems. Listing here gives you access to their massive user bases — but you're building on someone else's platform, and they can change the rules at any time.

OpenAI GPT Store + App Directory

Two paths. The GPT Store lets anyone with ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) create and publish custom GPTs. More significantly, OpenAI launched an official App Directory within ChatGPT in December 2025, accepting third-party apps built with the Apps SDK. This reaches ChatGPT's 700M+ weekly active users. Partners include Expedia, Spotify, Zillow, and Canva. Both are free to submit.

Reach: 700M+ weekly active users
Cost to list: Free
Best for: Consumer-facing agents
Requirement: OpenAI API / GPT Builder / Apps SDK

OpenAI GPT Store →

Anthropic Cowork Plugin Marketplace

Anthropic launched a plugin marketplace for Cowork — its autonomous agent feature — releasing 11 open-source plugins. The platform supports community-created marketplaces using a Git-based format. Early stage but backed by one of the most capable model providers.

Stage: Early / growing
Cost to list: Free (open-source)
Best for: Developer-focused agents
Format: Git-based plugin system

Anthropic Cowork Plugins →

Hugging Face

Not a dedicated agent marketplace but the leading open-source AI hub. The smolagents library powers agent building, while Spaces enables deployment. Over 1 million models hosted. If your agent has open-source components, a model card on HuggingFace gives it credibility with the research and developer community.

Models hosted: 1M+
Cost to list: Free (Pro at $9/month)
Best for: Open-source agents + technical credibility
Tip: Include a demo Space for instant evaluation

huggingface.co →

Framework Showcases

If your agent is built on a specific framework, that framework's community is your natural first audience. These are the highest-conversion listing channels for technical builders — the audience already uses your tools.

CrewAI Marketplace

Accepts crew and flow templates for their enterprise "agentic app store." With 40K+ GitHub stars and 100,000+ certified developers, CrewAI has real community density. Templates undergo engineering review before listing.

Community: 100K+ certified developers
Cost to list: Free (review required)
Best for: Multi-agent workflow templates
GitHub stars: 40K+

marketplace.crewai.com →

n8n Community Templates

Hosts 7,868 workflow templates including 600+ for agentic AI. Anyone can submit. The community forum and 5,834+ community nodes make it one of the most active builder ecosystems in the no-code space.

Templates: 7,868+
Agentic AI templates: 600+
Cost to list: Free
Best for: No-code agent workflows

n8n.io/workflows →

Also worth submitting to: Relevance AI Marketplace (588+ templates across sales, marketing, research), Voiceflow Marketplace (community-built agent templates, top templates reaching 4,927+ uses), and Flowise (built-in marketplace within the app). LangChain/LangGraph provides open-source reference templates but has no formal marketplace — contributions happen via GitHub.

Honest assessment: Framework showcases are the highest-conversion listing channel for technical builders. The audience already uses your tools. But reach is limited to that framework's community, and many of these "marketplaces" are really just template galleries.

Launch and Review Platforms

Not agent-specific, but they provide credibility and discovery that compound over time. Product Hunt drives initial buzz, G2 builds enterprise trust, Hacker News reaches the technical elite.

Product Hunt

Created dedicated categories for AI Agents and AI Agent Automation. 100M+ annual visitors. A successful launch creates lasting credibility and backlinks that compound for months. Timing and community engagement matter enormously — study successful launches before submitting.

Annual visitors: 100M+
Cost: Free
Best for: Launch buzz + press pickup + backlinks
Tip: Launch Tuesday–Thursday for max visibility

producthunt.com/ai-agents →

G2

World's largest B2B software review platform with 100M+ annual visitors and 3M+ verified reviews. Now has dedicated categories for Agentic AI and AI Agents for Business Operations (361+ listings). G2 announced plans to acquire Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp from Gartner in January 2026 — potentially making it the consolidated B2B review platform.

Annual visitors: 100M+
Verified reviews: 3M+
Cost: Free basic listing
Best for: Enterprise credibility + long-term compounding

G2 AI Agents →

Hacker News

Free "Show HN" posts. A front-page Show HN can deliver thousands of qualified visitors in a single day. Remains one of the most influential tech communities — the audience here evaluates, shares, and adopts.

Audience: Developers, founders, investors
Cost: Free
Best for: Single-day traffic spike + developer credibility
Tip: Technical depth wins here — skip the marketing speak

news.ycombinator.com →

Other platforms worth considering: BetaList (free or $99 fast-track, ideal for pre-launch), Indie Hackers (free product pages, community-driven), AlternativeTo (crowd-sourced alternatives), AppSumo (deal marketplace, revenue-sharing), and Capterra (100K+ listings, free profiles).

Honest assessment: Product Hunt and Hacker News deliver the best ROI for a single day's effort. G2 compounds over time but requires real users writing real reviews. These should be part of your launch sequence, not an afterthought.

GitHub Awesome Lists

Developer-trusted, free, and high-signal. Submission is via pull request. A PR to the top list should be one of the first things you do — it's free, takes minutes, and carries real developer credibility.

e2b-dev/awesome-ai-agents

The dominant list with 24,100+ stars, 2,000+ forks, and 55 contributors. Maintained by E2B (open-source platform for developer agents). Covers both open-source and commercial agents with a web version at AgentsDirectory for category-based filtering.

Stars: 24,100+
Forks: 2,000+
Cost: Free (PR submission)
Best for: Developer credibility + discoverability

e2b-dev/awesome-ai-agents →

Other notable lists: slavakurilyak/awesome-ai-agents (300+ resources, hosts "Agents Connect" conference), kyrolabs/awesome-agents (frameworks and tools), jim-schwoebel/awesome_ai_agents (1,500+ resources), and ashishpatel26/500-AI-Agents-Projects (500 use cases). For meta-lists of directories themselves, see best-of-ai/ai-directories (100+ directories) and DirectorySurf/awesome-ai-agents-directories.

Honest assessment: GitHub awesome lists are free, fast, and carry real developer credibility. But they don't provide ongoing distribution — they're a one-time visibility boost.

Blockchain Agent Registries

Blockchain registries provide cryptographic identity, portable reputation, and on-chain verification that traditional directories can't match. As agent-to-agent commerce grows, on-chain identity moves from nice-to-have to infrastructure.

ERC-8004 (Ethereum Mainnet)

The Ethereum standard for trustless agents, co-authored by representatives from MetaMask, Ethereum Foundation, Google, and Coinbase. Went live on mainnet January 29, 2026 with 22,000+ agents registered. Provides three on-chain registries: Identity (ERC-721-based agent handle), Reputation (feedback and attestation records), and Validation (proof of work completion). Every registered agent gets a portable, censorship-resistant identifier that works across platforms. Think of it as the DNS layer for autonomous agents.

Agents registered: 22,000+
Cost: Gas fees only
Best for: Agents in agentic commerce / DeFi
Key feature: Portable identity across platforms

ERC-8004 Specification →

Virtuals Protocol (Base)

The most active Web3 agent launchpad — often called "the Pump.fun of AI agents." Built on Base with 17,000+ AI agent tokens launched and $500M+ total market cap. Creating an agent requires depositing a minimum of 100 VIRTUAL tokens. Their Agent Commerce Protocol enables agent-to-agent transactions.

Agents launched: 17,000+
Cost: 100 VIRTUAL tokens minimum
Best for: Tokenized / autonomous agents
Network: Base (Coinbase L2)

virtuals.io →

Olas (formerly Autonolas)

The first active on-chain marketplace where AI agents sell services, hire other agents, and collaborate autonomously. The Mech Marketplace launched February 2025. Agents registered as ERC-721 NFTs. Olas agents reportedly make over 75% of Safe transactions on Gnosis Chain on many days.

Network: Gnosis Chain
Cost: Gas fees
Best for: Autonomous agent-to-agent commerce
Key feature: Agents hiring other agents

olas.network →

Honest assessment: Web3 registries matter most if your agent operates autonomously or handles transactions on-chain. For traditional SaaS or API-based agents, these are forward-looking bets. ERC-8004 is worth watching because it's becoming the standard that multiple chains are adopting — but its transferable identity model means an agent's reputation can be bought and sold.

Submission Services

For builders who want to maximize coverage without manually submitting to dozens of platforms.

AI Directories (aidirectori.es)

Done-for-you submission service that manually submits to 100+ directories. Earned €30K in its first 8 months. Options range from curated lists (DIY) to full manual submission packages.

aidirectori.es →

Other options: Supertools by The Rundown (100% free, potential newsletter inclusion), SubmitAITools.org (free with reciprocal badge), and LinkDR (maintained list of 90-100+ directories for DIY submission).

The Playbook: Where to Start

If you're launching an agent this quarter, here's the sequence that maximizes reach with minimum effort:

Week One — Free Foundations

Submit to Agent.ai, AI Agents Directory, AI Agent Store, FutureTools (all free). Open a PR on e2b-dev/awesome-ai-agents. Submit to your framework-specific showcase if applicable (CrewAI, n8n, etc.). Register on RNWY for soulbound identity.

Week Two — Launch Spike

Launch on Product Hunt and post a Show HN on Hacker News. Time these for the same week to create a concentrated visibility spike that feeds press coverage and backlinks.

Week Three — Paid + Long-Tail

Submit to There's An AI For That ($347), Toolify ($99), and TopAI.tools. Claim your profile on G2. List on secondary free directories: AI Agents List, AI Valley, Easy With AI, Insidr.ai.

Ongoing

Collect real user reviews on G2 and Product Hunt. If you serve enterprise customers, begin the Salesforce AgentExchange or AWS Marketplace application process. Build your on-chain reputation on RNWY — soulbound identity that persists across every platform.

Prioritize by What You Built

Consumer-facing agent

Start with Product Hunt for launch buzz, OpenAI GPT Store for distribution, and the free indie directories for long-tail discovery. GitHub for credibility.

Enterprise SaaS agent

Prioritize Salesforce AgentExchange or Microsoft Copilot Studio depending on your buyers' ecosystem. TrillionAgent for role-based discovery. All indie directories for SEO.

Open-source / developer agent

GitHub is non-negotiable. Hugging Face for the ML community. Product Hunt for awareness. Indie directories for organic traffic over time.

Autonomous / commerce agent

ERC-8004 for on-chain identity. RNWY for soulbound verification. Indie directories for human discovery. Enterprise marketplaces if you serve specific platforms.

The universal baseline: Every agent should be listed on at least 3-4 indie directories (free, takes 10 minutes each), have a GitHub presence, and have a Product Hunt launch planned. These are zero-cost actions with compounding returns.

The Identity Gap No Directory Solves

Here's the pattern across all 80+ platforms: they solve discovery but not trust.

Every directory will tell a visitor what your agent does. Some show ratings or reviews. A few let users try the agent directly. But none answer the questions that matter most as agents become more autonomous: How long has this agent been operating? Has it changed hands? What's its track record across interactions — not just user reviews, but verifiable on-chain history?

Directory listings are self-reported. Reviews can be gamed. Enterprise marketplace badges confirm platform compatibility, not trustworthiness. Even ERC-8004's transferable tokens mean an agent's on-chain identity can be sold to someone else — the reputation you built doesn't necessarily stay with you.

This is the gap soulbound identity fills. RNWY's non-transferable tokens create a permanent record tied to your agent's actual wallet and history. Attestations from other participants build a trust graph that can't be purchased, forged, or transferred. As autonomous agents handle more high-stakes interactions — financial transactions, legal workflows, healthcare decisions — verifiable identity becomes the difference between an agent people trust and one they skip.

The builders who treat distribution as seriously as development will win the agent economy. The ones who build something great and wait for the world to notice will wonder why their agent with better performance loses to the one that showed up everywhere first.

List everywhere. But give your agent real identity.
