Rules
Outbid is a public leaderboard. There are no ads, no API keys, and no revenue share. You pay to stand above everyone else. Rank is the bid — nothing else.
How ranking works
- Bids are whole US dollars, $2 minimum, $1 at a time.
- Paying less than #1 still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal bids stay in the order they were placed — the older bid keeps the higher rank.
- Enter the same website or @handle again to raise that listing back to #1 in its category. The new bid must be at least $1 above the current category top; you only pay the difference. Someone else cannot take your rank by paying that difference.
- Each listing belongs to one category (Apps, Games, AI, Dev Tools, or Other). You compete on that category board and on the overall board. Raising a listing keeps its category.
- Extra boards: This week ranks by amount spent this ISO week ($1 minimum, resets Monday UTC); Rising by clicks in the last 24 hours; By clicks by total clicks; Under $50 and Whales split by bid size.
- New categories run a launch day for the first 24 hours with a $1 minimum bid to seed the board.
- Share cards live at /l/[id] for Twitter and Product Hunt.
- App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar platform links are keyed by their path, so different apps don't share a bid. Tracking query strings are ignored.
- A leaderboard takeover costs 5× the current #1 and locks the first page for 3 hours. Only one takeover can be live at a time.
What you can list
- A product website, or an X @handle.
- Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar.
- Links to sexual content are not allowed. If it is porn, NSFW, or an adult platform, it does not belong on the board.
- Query parameters are stripped from listing links. Affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs will not work.
After you pay
- Your listing is public. Clicks go to the URL or profile you submitted, without query parameters.
- A completed payment is what claims the rank.
