What you actually get
On the paid tiers, a dofollow listing on a directory with roughly 36 listings. The free tier could not be completed at all when walked, so budget for the $5 or expect to get nowhere.
How to submit to Toolcurio
1
Choose Standard (Free)
$0, lifetime listing, manual review, badge required, no AI article. The paid tiers are $5 Premium and $10 Featured.
2
Install the badge first
Their tip says to add it before starting so verification at the launch step is instant.
3
Hit the wall
With Standard selected the Continue button stays disabled, reproducibly, so the Details step never opens.
4
Or pay instead
Clicking a paid card skips the wizard entirely and lands straight on a Polar checkout.

Gotchas
The free tier is effectively broken: selecting Standard leaves Continue permanently disabled, verified twice on different days.
Clicking either paid card jumps straight to a Polar checkout with no confirmation step, so do not click one to explore.
