Gotchas

The badge is asked for only after the form is submitted: the success page says paste it in your footer and press Verify, or pay $2.99 to skip, so the free listing waits on your deploy at the end rather than the start.
One of the two links on a live tool page carries rel="ugc" and the other does not, so which one a crawler credits is not something the plan tells you.
The 24-hour review on the submit page is for the paid lane's wording too; the free lane's copy only says 'under review'.
