Questions

How many developer registries are in this list?

127. 123 of them are free or offer a free tier, and 33 are free and quick enough to finish in one sitting. The strongest by impact is CSA STAR Registry at 100/100.

Which of these should I do first?

The list is ordered by impact, so start at the top. That ordering already accounts for cost and effort, which is why a free ten-minute listing can outrank a paid one. 33 of the 127 here are both free and quick.

What do developer registries usually ask for?

Most want a homepage URL, a short description, a logo and one or two screenshots. Having those ready turns a twenty-minute submission into a five-minute one.
