Short answer
Softpedia is free to join, and the link is nofollow, so its value is visitors and trust rather than ranking. To get listed, open Softpedia's Submit Your Applications page; it takes about an hour.
How to get listed on Softpedia

- Step 2: Enter a PAD file URL, or fill in the developer site, app name, version and category.

You need
An actively maintained installable app with a developer website and email.
Good to know
Softpedia refuses apps with any LLM-written code and suits installable software, not web-only SaaS. The homepage link runs through a nofollow redirect.
