Submission
Submit an AI tool to Navi
Submit or sponsor an AI tool, website, or digital product for review and possible placement in Navi. Use a paid review or sponsored listing when you want faster visibility inside the Navi ecosystem.
Quick recommendation
For fastest results, choose a sponsored listing — your tool gets reviewed within 7 days and featured on a high-traffic category page.
Submission Options
1. Free Submission — Best for bootstrapped makers
Submit your tool through the sponsor page contact form. The Navi editorial team reviews free submissions on a rolling basis and may include your tool in relevant category pages. No guaranteed timeline or placement — but many tools have been discovered this way. Include a clear description, target audience, and what makes your tool unique.
2. Paid Review — Best for launched products seeking credibility
Get an in-depth editorial review of your tool published on a Navi category page. Includes honest assessment, use case analysis, and a placement badge. Review is completed within 7 business days. Best for tools that are already launched and want third-party validation alongside discovery traffic.
3. Sponsored Listing — Best for driving immediate traffic
Your tool gets a 30-day featured placement on a high-traffic Navi category page matching your target audience. Includes a dedicated listing card with description, link, and "Sponsored" label. Available for tools, hosting providers, and digital products. Renewal options available. This is the fastest path to getting discovered by Navi's audience of creators, marketers, and indie builders.
4. Category Sponsorship — Best for established platforms
Sponsor an entire Navi category page (e.g., "Best AI tools for developers" or "Best hosting for indie projects"). Your tool gets top placement, a dedicated section, and brand association with a curated category. Ideal for platforms that want sustained visibility among a specific audience segment over weeks or months.

How to choose the right submission type
If you're pre-revenue
Start with a free submission. Focus on building a great product first. Once you have users and revenue, consider a paid review for credibility and distribution.
If you just launched
A sponsored listing gives you immediate visibility during the critical launch window. The 30-day placement on a matching category page puts your tool in front of your exact target audience.
If you want sustained traffic
Category sponsorship gives you ongoing placement on a page that ranks for high-intent search terms. Combine with a paid review for maximum credibility and click-through rate.
