How can we help?
64 answers on finding tools, your account, getting listed, and how our rankings work.
Getting started
What Aitoolnavio is, and how to get around it.
Finding tools
Search, categories, lists, alternatives and side-by-side comparison.
- Searching for toolsDescribe what you need in plain words — search is built to handle that, not just exact names.
- Browsing and filtering by categoryEvery category page has an in-category search, a pricing filter, sub-categories and four sort orders.
- Comparing tools side by sideAdd up to four tools to the compare tray and see pricing, popularity, features and ratings in one table.
- Alternatives and “vs” comparisonsEvery tool page suggests tools that do the same job, grouped by what you would be replacing it for.
- The Free, New and Top 100 listsWhat each curated list means, since they are built on different rules.
- Best AI tools by use caseStart from the job you need done — writing a cover letter, editing a podcast — rather than from a product name.
- AI Website RankingsAI websites ranked by their measured monthly traffic, overall and by category.
News, deals and jobs
The blog, AI news, tool deals, AI jobs and the newsletter.
- The difference between the Blog and NewsThe blog is written by us; AI News is headlines gathered from publishers every six hours, linking out to them.
- AI tool deals and coupon codesDiscounts, free plans and price drops we have checked — coupon codes are shown to signed-in members.
- AI JobsOpen AI roles at companies listed in the directory — you apply on the employer’s own site.
- The newsletterA Friday digest of new tools and AI news — confirm your address from the email and you are on the list.
Your account
Signing up, confirming your email, your profile, saved tools and dashboard.
- Creating an accountOne form — or one click with Google — and you are signed in straight away.
- Confirming your emailYour account works straight away; confirming the address unlocks submitting, claiming, reviews, alerts and Pro.
- Signing inSign in with your email and password, or with Google. “Keep me signed in” lasts seven days.
- Resetting a forgotten passwordRequest a reset link from the forgot-password page; it stays valid for 60 minutes.
- Updating your profile and photoChange your name, display name, website, bio and profile image in Account settings.
- Saving toolsThe bookmark button keeps a tool for later — on your device when signed out, on your account when signed in.
- What’s on your dashboardYour numbers, your tools, your saved list, recent activity and billing — all on one page.
- User and Publisher viewA switch at the foot of the account menu shows either the tools for finding tools, or the tools for listing your own.

Submitting your tool
Getting your product listed, from pasting your website to going live.
- How to submit your toolPaste your website, check the listing we draft from it, pay, and it goes live.
- How the AI draft worksIt reads your public website and writes a first pass — including FAQs — which you are expected to correct.
- Icon and thumbnail requirementsIcons: JPG/PNG/GIF up to 50 KB. Thumbnails: JPG only, exactly 2560×1440, up to 400 KB.
- What happens after you submitYour listing publishes the moment the payment clears, with the verified badge and a do-follow link.
- Editing your listingOpen it from your dashboard and save — changes go live, and the listing stays published.
- Your tool is already listedIf we already have your website you will see a warning — claim the existing listing rather than adding a second.
Listing plans
What a listing includes, the verified badge, and sponsored placements.
- What a listing includesOne payment, a permanent listing, and what comes with it — described by what you get, not by price.
- What the verified badge meansIt marks a listing confirmed by the people who run the tool — not a quality rating.
- Sponsored spotsBook one of 12 labeled spots on the homepage and every tool page, for 30 days, from your account.
- Newsletter promotion plansTwo one-time plans that feature your tool in our emails and on our social accounts for a month. The listing or claim is included.
Billing and payments
Paying, receipts, your billing history, and what happens if a payment fails.
- Paying for a listingOne Pay screen: billing details, a discount code if you have one, then Razorpay or PayPal — without leaving the page.
- Your receipt and billing historyEvery payment has a receipt — on screen, by email, and in Billing in your account.
- If a payment doesn’t completeWhat each outcome means, and when not to pay again.
- RefundsA listing or claim is delivered the moment you pay, so the fee is not refundable once it is live — here is when money does come back.
Reviews and ratings
Writing reviews, voting, and how scores are worked out.
- Writing a reviewRate five criteria from one to five stars, add a title and your experience, and it goes for approval.
- Upvoting and downvoting toolsOne vote per tool, and it is final. Votes need a free account.
- How the overall score is worked outYour overall score is the average of your five ratings; a tool’s rating is the average of its reviews.
- Why your review isn’t showing yetEvery review is approved before it appears; the tool’s rating updates the next day.
Rankings and data
How tools are ordered, scored, and where the numbers come from.
- How the Popularity Score worksA 0–100 blend of five measured signals, led by real traffic — missing data is shared out, not counted as zero.
- How tools are ordered in listingsSponsored, then verified, then popularity, traffic and rating — with A–Z only as a tiebreak.
- Where the traffic figures come fromWebsite engagement figures are third-party measurements, shown only when we actually have them.
- What “Sponsored” meansA paid placement. It changes where a listing appears, never its score or its content.
For listing owners
Claiming a listing, verifying your domain, analytics, deals and your badge.
- Claiming your listingFind your tool, prove you own its domain, and it is yours — free. A one-time upgrade adds the verified badge and do-follow link.
- Verifying your domainProve you control your tool’s website with a meta tag or an uploaded file. Needed for claiming and for analytics.
- Your listing’s analyticsSee how people find and use your listing — views, clicks to your site, where visitors come from — free on every listing you own.
- Adding a deal to your listingOwners can post a discount, coupon code or free offer for their tool. Our team checks it before it goes live.
- Reporting an inaccurate listingUse the Report Inaccuracies link in the sidebar — you do not need to own the tool.
- Embedding your badge on your siteEvery listing offers ready-made badge HTML in two styles — Featured and Review.
- Showing your open jobsIf your company publishes AI roles on a supported job board, they appear on your tool page and on AI Jobs.
