Rules
The whole system is nine rules long. Read it in a minute, then go bid.
01Your bid is your rank
The board is sorted by amount paid, highest first. There is no algorithm, no editorial pick and no ads mixed in. Bids start at $5 and stop at $1,000.
02You don't need #1 to be listed
Bid whatever you like. If your amount is under the current leader you simply land wherever it ranks — #4, #17, wherever. Everyone who pays gets a spot.
03Ties go to whoever got there first
Matching the app above you does not leapfrog it. If two apps sit at the same amount, the one that paid earlier stays higher. To pass someone, pay more than them.
04Topping up costs the difference
Submit the same App Store link or website again with a higher amount and you're charged only the gap — not the full new price. The smallest move up is $1.
05Ranks are permanent until someone outbids you
There is no clock and no expiry. Your app holds its position for as long as nobody pays more. That also means your position can drop at any moment without warning.
06One listing per app
An App Store link is keyed to its app id and a website to its domain, so the same app can't occupy two spots. Submitting it again tops up the listing you already have.
07All sales are final
Because a bid immediately changes a public ranking, payments aren't refundable. The one exception is a listing we remove ourselves — see below.
08What gets removed
Malware, scams, adult content, impersonation, and anything illegal. Removed listings are refunded and the apps below them move up. Links must resolve to a real app or product page.
09Click counts are honest
The number on each card is outbound clicks to that app, counted server side. We don't inflate it, and we don't sell placement outside the board itself.
