Why PromptHive submissions get rejected or stall
- Product is not live yet (waitlist, landing page, private beta)
- Pricing is hidden behind a sales call
- Thin wrapper around someone else's API with no added value
- Description written for a crawler (marketing hype)
- Claims do not survive checking (misstated limits, free tier requiring card, wrong model list)
Tips for a listing that gets approved
- Name your product's weakness in the full description; founders who do get reviewed faster and rated more generously.
- Provide a direct URL to a square logo with transparent background; SVG is preferred.
- Make sure your pricing page is public and shows real numbers; hidden pricing leads to rejection.
- Use the 'Anything else' box to ask questions or note if you're submitting on behalf of a client.
Our take on PromptHive
Submit here if you have a live AI tool in one of the 9 categories and want an honest, hand-written review with verified pricing. Expect a thorough process that takes 1–3 weeks after the initial triage, and be prepared to disclose weaknesses. The listing is free and permanent, but acceptance is selective due to the capped catalogue.
