Nine rules, and none of them are secret

Each app or sponsor bid costs $1 and adds $1 to the listing’s total. Listings sort by total confirmed payments plus any disclosed imported baseline, highest first. No subscription or automatic renewal.

When two listings sit at the same amount, whoever reached that amount first stays above. To move past someone you have to pay more than them — the minimum step is $1.

Submit the same link again to add $1 to the existing listing. For example, a total of $10 becomes $11 after one more confirmed $1 payment. This does not create a duplicate listing or guarantee a higher rank.

There is no clock and no renewal. Your app holds its position for as long as nobody pays more. The flip side is that your rank can drop the moment somebody does — that is the deal everyone on the board took.

Apps are matched by App Store ID or Google Play package name. Websites are matched by their normalized submitted URL. Use the same link for repeat bids to add to the existing listing.

App Store, Google Play and secure public website links are accepted. Preview the resolved details before paying.

Redirect chains, parked domains, and link shorteners that hide the destination are removed.

Malware, scams, adult content, impersonation of another app or company, and anything illegal. Removals are refunded in full, and every listing below moves up a place.

Payments are final except for the removals described above. Being outbid is not a refund condition — it is the product working as designed.

Click counts on listings use this site’s outbound request ledger, deduplicated per browser, listing and UTC hour. Known bots and prefetches are excluded going forward; undetected automation may remain. Imported historical clicks are disclosed separately. Paid placements include the main board and the sponsor section.
