Field notes
The release timeline runs from distributor delivery 28 days before release through a stream-source check 28 days afterward. The directory distinguishes free routes from paid options and includes reported complaints; the homepage dates its price checks to 5 October 2026. The site says it accepts no paid placements, while its invitation to receive weekly curator briefs is presented as a sign-up.
