What you actually get
A listing in a hand-reviewed catalogue of developer tools, nofollow on the free tier unless you carry their badge and clear their domain rating floor of 5. The paid tiers add instant approval, a Weekly Picks slot and, at the top, a banner and syndicated articles on Dev.to and elsewhere.

How to submit to CurateClick

  1. Pick a tier
    The submit link goes to pricing. Free is the fourth card, below three paid ones, and Choose Free is what opens the form.
  2. Sign in
    Google only. The form is behind it.
  3. Fill and send
    Product URL, title, summary and a description that accepts Markdown, then Submit Product. The form clears itself on success rather than showing a confirmation.
  4. Check the profile
    The submission appears under My Submissions on the profile page, marked Pending and Free. That listing is the receipt.

Gotchas

The free tier's link is nofollow unless you carry their badge, and the badge only counts if your domain rating is over 5, so a brand new site gets nothing from it either way.
The pricing page says free review takes one to two months and the form's own guidelines say one to two weeks. Neither is a commitment and the two do not agree.
A rejected product is removed from the system rather than left pending, so there is nothing to check afterwards and no reason given.
The submit link goes to the pricing page rather than a form, and Free is the fourth card down, so the free lane looks absent until you scroll.
