Watch for
- Featured is a recurring subscription, not one-time — cancel by emailing [email protected]
- Free tier is a 'basic tool profile' — featured section contains affiliate links, so placement quality differs
- Tagline is capped at 100 chars and description has a 100-char minimum — write to the limits
- Upgrade path is manual (email) — no self-serve upgrade button
What counts as live
