What you actually get
A page under /<location>/<category>/<slug> in a directory built around cities and business categories rather than launches, run alongside TechBullion, whose links appear across every page. The website link on a listing carries rel="nofollow", so this is a presence and a citation rather than an SEO placement, and free listings sort behind both paid tiers and carry ads.
How to submit to TechDirectory
1
Pick a plan
/get-listed is the plan chooser: Basic free, Featured $29 a month, Premium $49 a month. Every card ends in a Create Listing button, so the plan is chosen before the form rather than after.
2
Create an account
Email address and password. There is no Google, GitHub or other provider anywhere in the flow.
3
Fill the business listing
Company name, category, location, description and website. Paid tiers add a phone number, social links, a verified marker and quotas for classifieds, products, coupons, events, jobs, videos and articles.
4
Publish
The Basic card's own promise is "Get Listed in Seconds", so there is no review queue described anywhere in the flow.

Gotchas
The website link on a live listing carries rel="nofollow", checked on a free listing, so the free tier buys a citation and not link equity.
The paid tiers are monthly subscriptions, not one-off placements: at $29 or $49 a month the listing reverts to Basic when you stop, which is a different bargain from the one-time fees most directories in this bracket charge.
Free listings sort third behind both paid tiers and carry ads on their own page, which the plan table states outright as a Basic feature.
Sign-in is email and password only, so there is no way to create the account without setting a password yourself.
