What you actually get
A product page under /products/, filed into a category tree of about thirty shelves that runs from AI assistants to HR and recruiting, with pricing-model filters over the top. The listed product's own link follows: it carries rel="noopener noreferrer" with no nofollow, while the related-tool cross links beside it are nofollowed. This is one of ten near-identical sites on a single codebase, differing only in name and accent colour, so submitting to all ten is one form filled ten times.

How to submit to Tool Parade

  1. Open the submit page
    /submit renders a Log in to Submit panel rather than a form.
  2. Log in with Google
    Google is the only provider offered, alongside a Create an account link.
  3. Fill the listing
    The form is behind the login, so its fields cannot be read in advance.
  4. Wait
    No review time is published anywhere on the site.

Gotchas

The submit page shows a login panel and no fields at all, so there is no way to see what the form asks for before committing an account to it.
Every page carries a sponsored ad for a paid service that submits your SaaS to 140 or so directories, which is a competitor to doing this yourself and is marked sponsored nofollow.
Ten sites share this exact codebase and copy, differing only in name and accent colour, so a run across all of them buys far less reach than the count suggests.
