Gotchas
There is no free tier at all, and the page does not say so plainly: you have to read the plan block to discover that the cheapest way in is $49.
The only form field on the submission page is a newsletter email box, which reads like a submission form until you notice the plan cards below it are the actual entry point.
They say fewer than half of the tools they assess make the cut, and the review is written by their editors, so paying does not by itself guarantee the listing reads the way you would write it.
