# Sidebar: AI Tool Feature, free, or from $400 (sidebar.io)

> Sidebar is an AI newsletter at sidebar.io. It features AI tools, with a rule: design-related links only. Listing is free; a paid spot starts at $400. Review: links are picked by the editors against published submission guidelines; no time frame stated. Terms read on sidebar.io on 2 October 2026.

Five design links every weekday on the site and in the newsletter, run by UX Collective. Submissions need an account and should be new, high-effort content; paid products are generally avoided unless they have a useful free or demo version.
