Is SimilarSiteSearch worth it?
A low effort free step: look up your domain once so a page exists and your product can appear as an alternative on competitors' pages. The visit link is nofollow and there is no description you control, so it is not a backlink or marketing channel. It is most useful if your product loads few trackers, has a free plan or is EU based, since those are the filters the site shows.
Who should submit to SimilarSiteSearch?
Suits privacy friendly SaaS, analytics, email and similar web products that compete with known names and want to show up in alternative lists. It does not suit makers who want a listing they can edit, reviews, or a followed link.

How to submit to SimilarSiteSearch
