Rules of the Board
The whole system is nine rules long. Read it in a minute, then go bid.
Your 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.
You 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.
Ties 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.
Topping 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.
Ranks are permanent until outbid
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.
One 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.
All 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.
What 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.
Click 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.
