What you actually get
A profile page at flaex.ai/directory/your-slug in a directory of roughly 1,000 live tools, with an AI-written positioning and fit-analysis section. At the cheapest tier the outbound link is nofollow, so what you are buying is the page and the category placement rather than the link.
How to submit to Flaex
1
Sign in
/submit redirects to /login. Google SSO creates the account in one click; the alternative is an emailed code. After Google it drops you on the homepage, not the form.
2
Claim: hand over the URL
Step 1 of 4 takes an optional project name and your website URL, then runs "Analyze & Build Profile" against your site.
3
Unlock: the paywall
Step 2 of 4 is three price cards and nothing else. $0.99 basic and nofollow, $15 dofollow and instant, $29 with a month featured. There is no free control on the page.
4
Scan and review
Steps 3 and 4 build and show the AI-written listing. Both sit behind the payment, so nobody who has not paid sees what was written about them.

Gotchas
Step 2 twice promises a "slow free queue" that paying skips, and the paid cards note that "paid plans do not require the Flaex badge", but no free lane and no badge option exists anywhere in the flow: the only three controls are $0.99, $15 and $29.
The price appears at step 2 of 4, after you have handed over your URL and watched it build a profile preview, so you meet the toll already invested in the result.
The submit banner sells "a 42+ DR backlink" while FrogDR reads the domain at 36, and the pricing page claims "15+ AI Tools & Agents" in one stat block and 2,500+ listed tools in the next.
