Conditional free route directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

What the free route requires

Free lane requires their badge in your site's footer — the listing stays 'Not Published' until their checker finds the badge.
Free listing = 1 dofollow link (while badge stays) and a 1,000-character description cap.

Account required: Google, GitHub, or email/password behind a Cloudflare Turnstile.
A logo file — marked required on the form.
The form asks for tool name, website URL, one category, logo; optional app image plus toggles for promo code and marketplace listing.
Description is AI-written from a scrape of your site — you review it on a post-submit review page (1,000-char budget free; 2,500 Premium).

Account (Google/GitHub/email).
Logo file (required).
Tool name, website URL, one category.
Badge in your footer BEFORE finishing — 'Verify badge now' is what publishes the listing.
Plan choice: Free (badge, 1 dofollow, 1000-char description) / Premium $19–29 one-time (instant publish, 4 dofollow, no badge; price varies between sources — confirm in form).
Optional upsells: Directory Submissions from $59 (30–100 hand-filled submissions incl. Findly + DailyPings Premium) and Product Review $79.

Sign in at findly.tools/sign-in (Google/GitHub/email; Turnstile runs on the page).
Open /submit — plan cards sit BESIDE the form, not after it; the Premium card arrives preselected.
To take the free lane, click the Free card first — this flips the button from 'Continue to Payment' to 'Continue to Review (Free)'.
Fill name, URL, category, logo; submit.
Review the AI-generated description on the review page; save.
The tool shows 'Not Published' on your profile until you click 'Verify badge now' with the badge live in your footer.

Premium is PRESELECTED — clicking through defaults you to a paid checkout; explicitly select the free card.
The listing is created but held ('Not Published') until badge detection — a 'Publish instantly for $19' link sits beside it as the conversion nudge.
Premium price reported as both $19 and $29 across sources — confirm at the form.
Free description is AI-scraped text with a 1,000-char cap — review it before saving.
Turnstile runs on the sign-in page — automated agents may need to solve it.
Directory Submissions packs ($59–139) bundle Findly Premium + DailyPings Premium — cross-sold service, not a listing requirement.

The tool's public page on findly.tools is live (no 'Not Published' state) and linked from its category; badge verified on free lane.
