Conditional free route ai-directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

What the free route requires

  • Free submission requires embedding the 'Featured on Havnai' badge on your website within 24 hours of tool approval, or the listing is deactivated

Requirements

  • AI tools only — site is an AI tool marketplace/directory
  • Account required: the submit flow checks for a session and redirects to /signin ('Please sign in to submit a tool'); Google sign-in offered
  • Free-tier submissions are 'pending review' after submit — approval is not instant
  • Free listing requires the badge embed within 24h; premium ($9 one-time) makes badge optional

Prepare before opening the form

  • Tool name, URL, description, category, and logo/image
  • Pricing model for the tool: Free / Paid / Freemium / Free Trial (form has minimum-cost, maximum-cost, and free-trial-detail fields)
  • Ability to add an embed badge (HTML or React snippet) to your site footer/sidebar if using the free tier
  • $9 one-time payment if choosing premium (audio description + Instagram reel promotion)

Workflow

  1. Create an account / sign in at https://havnai.com/signin (Google OAuth available)
  2. Open https://havnai.com/submit and fill the tool-submission form (name, URL, description, category, pricing details, logo)
  3. Leave the premium toggle off for the free submission, or enable 'Premium Submission ($9)' for the paid tier
  4. After submit, the tool is 'pending review'; copy the badge embed code from Profile → Embed Badge tab (/profile?tab=embed)
  5. Add the badge to your site within 24 hours of approval to keep a free listing active

Watch for

  • Site is a client-side React SPA — submission pages render empty without JavaScript
  • Free listing deactivation risk: missing the 24-hour badge window kills the listing
  • Premium upsell toggle in the form ($9 one-time) — it triggers a payment redirect on submit
  • Small/new directory (Indian operator, founded 2024); traffic value likely low

What counts as live

The tool appears on havnai.com tools/category pages after review and the listing is not deactivated for a missing badge

Not verified

  • Review turnaround time and acceptance criteria
  • Whether free listings get dofollow links
  • Actual traffic/audience size
