What you actually get
A page at /tool/<slug> whose links to your site carry rel=noopener noreferrer and are therefore followed, with your listing enriched by their team. They quote one to two weeks for the standard review and 48 hours if you took the footer link.

  1. Enter the URL
    One field, then Continue free submission. They check the site is up and offer to fetch your copy from it.
  2. Sign in
    Google, GitHub or email, and they say in the panel that this does not start a paid placement.
  3. Five steps
    Essentials first: website, name, an optional 150 character slogan and a description up to 1,000 characters.
  4. Wait

Gotchas

The five-step form would not advance past step one when this was walked: the fields rendered as blank space, the character counters updated, and Next did nothing with no error shown.
The link to them is a fast-track, not a price. The follow is free either way, which is the reverse of most directories this size.
The auto-fill button writes your listing from your homepage, so the copy under your product is theirs unless you type over it.
They quote one to two weeks for a standard review, against 48 hours for a submission carrying their footer link.
