Feedspot
Depends on your product. Free to submit and the ranked-list SERPs are real, but curation means most submissions do not make it onto a page — worth trying for an active blog/podcast/newsletter, not something to count on.
Free + paid upgrades.
Who actually reads it
Whoever searches "best [topic] blogs/podcasts/newsletters" — a genuinely large long-tail of that query pattern across every niche, but the value is entirely in whether your specific publication makes a specific ranked list, not in a generic profile page.
What a strong listing looks like
A submission that names the exact topic list you are a fit for, real publishing consistency (a stale blog is an easy reason to be passed over), and RSS output clean enough for Feedspot's own reader to parse well.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Submission is free; Feedspot also sells sponsored placement, which is a separate, disclosed path from organic inclusion.
Is inclusion guaranteed?
No — Feedspot's "Top N" lists are curated by their editorial team, so a submission is a pitch, not a listing you control.
Does it cover podcasts and newsletters too, or just blogs?
All three — Feedspot runs separate ranked-list categories for blogs, podcasts and newsletters.
