Who GoodTool Online accepts
You need
An account, which is Google or an email and password
You'll be rejected if
One free slot a week means a launch is a scheduled event rather than a listing, so a product that is not ready to be seen on a particular week has nothing to gain by going early.

What you actually get
A week of exposure in a weekly product drop. The free tier's list of features is honest about its conditions: the home page feature, the dofollow backlink and the best-of-the-month slot all say "if top 1", so a free launch that does not win the week gets a listing and a nofollow link. Live listings carry rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" on the website button.
How to submit to GoodTool Online
- Read /pricing firstIt is the clearest page on the site: free launch, one slot a week, standard queue, and every link-value feature qualified with "if top 1".
- Make an account/submit redirects to /login, which offers Google or email and password.
- Submit the toolChoose the free slot rather than /submit?type=premium, which is the $2.90 lane.

Gotchas
The dofollow link is not part of the free tier: it is listed with "if top 1", alongside the home page feature and the best-of-the-month slot. An ordinary free listing carries rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer".
Sign in with Google returned to the login page every time rather than signing in, so plan on the email and password route until that is fixed.
The free lane is one slot a week and the paid lane skips the queue, so a launch here is a scheduled competition rather than a listing.
The premium price is shown as $2.90 against a struck-through $9.90, which has been the standing price rather than a sale.
