About
NxGn Tools is a weekly launch directory where startup founders submit AI and SaaS tools to compete for upvotes. Submitting requires an account and a form with tool name, tagline, website URL, logo, categories and pricing model. The Basic Launch is free and places the tool in a queue; the site launches 70 tools per week. Basic launches are featured on the website for 1 week and get an embeddable badge. The Top 3 tools each week receive badges and a dofollow backlink when the badge is embedded, and stay on the landing page for 1 extra week. Premium Launch costs $19 one-time and skips the queue, with 2 permanent dofollow backlinks. Lifetime Premium costs $299 one-time, and the TikTok and blog feature costs $999 one-time. Homepage ad slots are sold by bid. Vote manipulation may result in launch cancellation.
How to submit
Create an account, fill out the submission form (tool name, tagline, website URL, logo, categories, pricing model), choose a Basic or Premium launch, then wait in the launch queue until your tool reaches the front.
