What you actually get
A listing carrying at least three dofollow links by their own count, an award icon in the listing feed, and promotion through their social accounts and newsletter. Their stated turnaround for Pro is immediate publication, or publishing whenever you choose. Sponsor adds sponsored placement and homepage promotion on top.

How to submit to BestTools

  1. Read the price first
    /submit states the $9.90 fee above the form rather than after it, which is more honest than most at this size.
  2. Fill the form
    They review the submission and email a payment link rather than taking a card in the page.
  3. Pay to publish
    Pro publishes immediately, or on a date you pick, and carries an award icon in listings.

Gotchas

There is no free listing here, and the fee is stated on the submit page rather than discovered at checkout.
Their own selling point is that Pro needs no badge verification, which is worth reading as a comparison: several directories at this price gate the follow on a badge you then have to keep up. This one does not.
The paid tiers are the only tiers, so the decision is a purchase rather than a queue. Nothing about a wait is published because there is nothing to wait for.
Sponsor at $24.90 adds sponsored placement in listings and homepage promotion, which is advertising rather than a better listing, and their copy does not pretend otherwise.
