Frequently Asked Questions
Is the free listing really free?
Yes — submitting and being listed is free, forever. Free listings publish after a 7-day review queue with a nofollow outbound link, and adding our official badge to your site upgrades that link to dofollow for free. Paid plans only buy speed, placement and hands-on work; they never buy the listing itself, and approval is never guaranteed.
What does the “48-hour decision” mean?
For Fast Track and Featured, the clock starts when your payment is confirmed. Within 48 hours you get a decision by email: approved (and published right away), or declined with the reason. It is a decision deadline, not just a review window — and if your tool is not accepted, the payment is refunded in full.
What is the refund policy?
If your tool is not accepted for listing, any plan payment is refunded in full. For one-time services, if we cannot deliver what is described, we refund the undelivered part in full.
Sponsored vs dofollow — what is the difference?
Search engines require paid links to be labelled, so links from paid plans carry rel="sponsored" (with UTM attribution so you can measure the visits). The dofollow link is earned, not sold: add the official AINavDir badge to your site, we verify it, and your free listing’s outbound link becomes dofollow.
How does buying and fulfillment work?
Pay through the buttons on this page or right after submitting — the payment carries a reference to your submission. Put your tool name in the payment note (or reply to any of our emails) and we match the payment, confirm by email, and start the clock. Placements (pins, Featured) start at approval and run for the stated number of days.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Owners of listed tools can claim their listing for free and buy the same upgrades afterwards — the placement and content services on this page, the $19 content update, or Featured at the owner rate shown in the claim-verification email.
