Submit your tool to ToolNav AI

ToolNav AI is a curated directory of AI tools. After sign-in, an AI step drafts the listing from your site; you then submit free for manual review with a nofollow link, or pay once to publish right away with a dofollow link.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link Free (nofollow), or $19.90 once for dofollow

Is ToolNav AI worth it?

Useful for AI tools that want a listing in a small curated directory. The free route works but gives a nofollow link and a review date about a month out. The dofollow link costs $19.90 once (Quick Publish), with Featured at $39.90 and Premium at $79.90. Pay only if the link matters to you; the site has about 240 tools on its homepage, so traffic will be modest.

Who should submit to ToolNav AI?

Suits makers of AI products: image, video, writing, coding and productivity tools. Not a fit for non-AI software. Makers who only want dofollow links for free should skip it.
