Route unverified press

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

What the free route requires

Primarily earned editorial — Cloudwards commissions its own reviews via in-house testers; a third-party aggregator claims a free submission form exists but this could not be verified (site blocked fetchers)

Review coverage in cloud storage, VPN, backup, password managers, cloud apps/security — products outside these categories are off-beat
Reviews are hands-on by Cloudwards' own testers — expect to provide full product access
A claimed 'submission form' (per a third-party guide) wants: product name, live URL, 60-char tagline, 250-char description, 512px+ square logo, 2-3 screenshots, pricing model — unverified
cloudwards.net blocked automated fetch (403) — editorial pages verified via search, submission surface unconfirmed

Product in a covered category (VPN, cloud storage, backup, password manager, cloud apps)
Review access for their testers, product details kit
Contact route: site contact page or the editorial team

Try the submission form if findable (third-party guides reference one) — otherwise contact the editorial team
Provide product access for their hands-on testing
Coverage is a staff-written review or inclusion in a best-of comparison — affiliate-linked

Heavy affiliate-review economics — rankings are commercial-influenced (standard for the genre); 'reviews' are earned only in the sense that they choose what to test
The claimed free submission form is unverified — treat as unknown
Human-written-only editorial policy — expect real scrutiny
Berlin-based independent site — modest team
