What you actually get
On paper a slot in a Monday launch with homepage featuring for the week. In practice the free lane is shut: the launch-week list offers twenty-five weeks and every one of them is unselectable at zero free slots, so a free submission cannot be completed at all. $18 opens five of those weeks at ten slots each, with a guaranteed dofollow.

Gotchas
The free lane is not bookable. All twenty-five weeks it offers show zero free slots and cannot be selected, while switching to the $18 tier makes five weeks selectable at ten slots each.
The two surfaces word the free link condition differently: the pricing card says a top three finish or a badge, while the submit form heads the same line Backlink if top 3 and lists the badge underneath it. With no free week bookable, neither reading can be settled by walking the flow.
The info icon beside that condition opens a sales dialog for the $18 tier instead of explaining the rule.
The $69 SEO package buys a review article about your product on their blog, which is content they own and control rather than a listing you keep.
