FAQ
Founder questions, answered clearly
Can I submit for free?
Yes. Free Listing remains available for directory review and possible inclusion.
How much does paid visibility cost?
Simple Placement is $1.99, Featured Placement is $9.95, and Spotlight Pro is $29.00. Each is a one-time package.
How long does placement last?
Featured Placement lists a seven-day relevant category placement. Spotlight Pro lists 14 days of homepage or relevant category Spotlight placement when approved.
Where will my product appear?
Free and Simple are standard directory listing paths. Featured adds relevant category-page placement. Spotlight Pro may include homepage or relevant category Spotlight placement.
Is paid placement labeled?
Yes. Featured, Spotlight, Sponsored, and affiliate formats are labeled where placement could affect reader interpretation.
Will paid placement affect AIBeat Score?
No. The paid listing packages do not silently change product ratings or buy review scores.
What happens after purchase?
Stripe Checkout starts the selected package, then AIBeat reviews the submission for relevance, safety, accuracy, disclosure, and publication fit.
Custom campaigns are separate
Sponsored articles, newsletter sponsorships, launches, and multi-week campaigns are scoped separately from the three self-service listing packages. Spotlight can improve presentation and placement availability, but it does not buy a ranking, review score, recommendation, or guaranteed outcome.
