Collaboration & Submission Rules
AIBARS keeps its listing criteria, ad rates, and submission process fully public — no back-room deals.
Tool listing criteria
Not launch buzz — real usage, pricing transparency, update cadence, and switching cost. Paid listing does not affect review objectivity; AIBARS reserves the right to delist unmaintained tools.
News submissions
We accept original industry analysis and in-depth reviews; accepted pieces are bylined in the Columns section and paid. Email a 300-word pitch — we reply within 48h.
Open source project submissions
The ranking syncs from GitHub daily; we also accept manual submissions for missed projects. Include repo URL, description, and category tags — 48h review.
Ad slot rules
6 fixed ad slots (300×250 / 300×600) across 5 pages — home, news list, news detail, open-source project detail, and learning resource detail — clearly labeled "Ad" and never mixed with editorial content. We don't accept off-topic or misleading ads.
