Terms of Service

The terms and conditions governing the use of AIAlternative

2026/04/06

Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of AIAlternative, an AI tool directory platform. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Our Services

AIAlternative provides:

  • An AI tool directory for discovering and comparing AI-powered software alternatives
  • A tool submission system (web form, REST API, and NPM package)
  • User accounts with profile management and API key access
  • Featured and Sponsored listing options via paid plans

User Accounts

When you create an account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

Tool Submissions

Submission Guidelines

When submitting a tool to our directory, you must:

  • Provide accurate and truthful information about the tool
  • Only submit tools you have the authority to represent
  • Not submit spam, misleading, or fraudulent listings
  • Comply with our content guidelines and applicable laws

Review Process

All submissions are reviewed before publication. We reserve the right to reject, edit, or remove any submission at our discretion. Free submissions are typically reviewed within 24-48 hours. Featured and Sponsored listings receive priority review.

Backlink Requirement

Free submissions require a reciprocal backlink to AIAlternative on your website. We may verify the backlink and remove listings where the backlink is not maintained.

API Usage

API Keys

API keys are personal and must not be shared. You are responsible for all activity associated with your API key. We may revoke keys that are misused.

Rate Limits

API usage is subject to rate limits (default: 10 requests per day). Exceeding rate limits will result in temporary request blocking. We may adjust limits at our discretion.

Acceptable Use

You must not use our API to:

  • Submit spam or fraudulent tool listings
  • Scrape or harvest data from the directory
  • Overwhelm our servers with excessive requests
  • Resell API access without authorization

Payments

Featured ($29) and Sponsored ($79) listings are one-time payments processed by Stripe. All payments are non-refundable once the listing has been approved and published. Payment grants enhanced visibility, not guaranteed traffic or outcomes.

Intellectual Property

The AIAlternative platform, including its design, code, and content, is our intellectual property. Tool listings and user-submitted content remain the property of their respective submitters. By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and distribute your content within the directory.

Limitation of Liability

AIAlternative is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the accuracy of tool listings, uptime of the directory, or any specific outcomes from using our services. In no event shall we be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account for violations of these Terms, including spam submissions, API abuse, or fraudulent activity. You may delete your account at any time.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms. Significant changes will be communicated via email or prominent notice on the website. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
