Listing on Uneed is free if you wait your turn, with paid options from $14.99.
The free queue assigns a launch date automatically, at least 30 days out, at the back of the line. On launch day, an upvote score of 10 is needed to stay published; 20 is needed to retain a do-follow backlink. Below 10, the product returns to the dashboard; below 20, the link becomes nofollow. No backlink, badge, or separate backlink is required from the submitter.
