What you actually get
A vendor profile on a B2B review platform that publishes category rankings and top-software lists, with a lifetime listing and no renewal fee once approved. One vendor account covers software products and service-provider profiles, so an agency and a product can live under the same login. Sponsored placements in the category rankings are sold separately.
How to submit to SoftwareWorld
1
Search for your product first
Claiming an existing profile is free and publishing a new one is $99, so the first step is finding out which of the two you are doing.
2
Create a vendor account
/get-listed/ redirects to /register/: full name, a business email, and a choice of what you want to manage. Three steps: create account, verify email, account active.
3
Claim or submit
From the dashboard you either claim the existing profile or publish a new listing, which is where the $99 approval fee applies.
4
Keep the listing
Approved listings stay live with no recurring listing fee.
SoftwareWorld requirements

Gotchas
Claiming a profile is free and creating one is $99, and the site is large enough that a product with any traction may already be on it. Search before you register, or you will pay for something you could have taken over.
The registration asks for a business email by name, so a free-mail address is the wrong footing to start on.
The $99 is described as an approval fee rather than a listing fee, which means it is charged against a decision rather than against a page.
