Yes, they are ready to be potted up into the plastic cups, but expose them to full sun SLOWLY. If you put them into full sun all day on their first day outside, they will die!
When you put them into the cups, bury the stem all the way to the base of the leaves.
I repotted one today into a plastic cup and there are no visible roots that have penetrated the peat pods?
OK, I will and I guess I start them outside in dappled sunlight for 3 or 4 hours everyday for a week, then direct sunlight? I guess I just focus on how the plant appears when it’s outside in the sun?

Yes, if the plants start looking droopy, move them back into the shade to let them recover.
I've been shopping today and it looks like tomato starts are about $5 each for the 3 inch pot and one store had tomato plants for $17 in the gallon and a half size.
It is well worth starting your own tomato plants. It's not that much bother, a big $ savings, and you can get varieties that aren't sold as starts.
Where are you? I'd look at moving them outside in bigger pots if your about done with frosts and its generally nice during the day.
totally agree and many parts of the country can say good bye to frost until Nov now.
