What you actually get
A card in a directory for language learning tools, filed by language and tag. The free listing is explicit that it carries no dofollow, so the link is worth nothing until you pay: $25 is what turns it into a permanent followed link on the site and on any App Store or Google Play links. The free queue is unusually transparent, printing how many tools are ahead of you and the date it estimates you will be published.

Gotchas

The free listing is stated to carry no dofollow, so submitting for the link means paying $25 and nothing less will do it.
The free queue was 48 tools deep when this was written, with the site's own estimate landing more than five weeks out, so it is no use to a launch.
The tool title and the primary website URL cannot be changed after publication, even on a paid plan, so a typo in either is permanent.
