What you actually get
A public product page and profile, discoverable in search and categories, with community votes and comments, in a feed organised by launch week. What the free tier does not include is the followed link, the featured placement, the sidebar sponsor slots, the verified badges and instant publish, all of which their own pricing table marks as paid.

How to submit to FoundrList

  1. Create an account
    The listing hangs off a profile, and the site's navigation is a signed-in app: Feed, Search, Chat, Launch, Analytics, Affiliates, Profile.
  2. Start a launch
    /submit takes the product details. The feed is organised by launch week, with medals for the week's top three.
  3. Choose free or featured
    Free forever with no card, or $29 for seven days featured with instant publish and a guaranteed followed link.
  4. Wait for the week
    The free tier does not publish instantly: instant publish is one of the things listed under the paid tiers.

Gotchas

The free tier does not carry a followed link. The guaranteed dofollow sits in the $29 column of their own comparison table, alongside instant publish and the verified badges.
Free listings do not publish immediately: instant publish is a paid feature, so a free launch waits for its week rather than going live when you finish the form.
The site runs Microsoft Clarity session recording and says so in a persistent banner on every page, including the submission flow.
