Our take on TXTLinks
TXTLinks is suitable for founders who want a free directory listing and are confident their site meets strict quality guidelines. Expect a high rejection rate (over 90%) and no guaranteed review time for free submissions. The $15 express option provides a 24-hour review and temporary top placement, but does not guarantee acceptance.
