Before you submit

  • Budget for it. The recorded price: “US$100 fee per app, recouped after US$1,000 adjusted gross revenue”.
  • Open the submit page first and confirm the form still exists: we have not tried this path ourselves.
  • Once your listing is live, inspect the link's rel attribute: our record of the link type is unconfirmed.
