The submission form also asks for a project name, tagline, category, website and the submitter's name and email. The pages reviewed do not state whether listing is free, whether an account is required, how long review takes, or what type of link a listing receives. No paid listing tiers or advertising placements appear on the pages reviewed. Founders should confirm these terms with the site before submitting.
