Submit your tool to NavFolders

A general web resource directory with categories and tags, mostly AI and SaaS tools. Free listings need a dofollow NavFolders badge in your footer and are reviewed within 72 hours; Pro listings skip the badge.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free with a dofollow badge, or $9.90 Pro

Is NavFolders worth it?

Useful if you already run a footer of directory badges, since the free plan gives followed links and fast review. The catch is a reciprocal dofollow badge that must stay up. Pro at $9.90 removes that requirement and is cheap. The directory also lists unrelated local businesses, so expect little targeted traffic; treat it as an SEO listing.

Who should submit to NavFolders?

Suits indie makers of AI tools, SaaS and web utilities who collect backlinks and accept badges. Not a fit for anyone who will not place a followed badge, or who wants a curated audience of buyers.
