How Outbid works
Outbid is a public launch board for makers. Every visitor gets 5 starter coins, enough to publish one product forever.
Coins and ranking
- A launch costs at least 5 whole coins.
- Products are ranked by the total number of coins behind them. Older products win ties.
- To outbid a product, spend at least 5 coins more than its current total. Raising an existing URL charges only the difference.
- Coin balances belong to this browser. Keep your browser data if you want to retain access to the wallet.
- Coin top-ups are one-time payments processed securely by Stripe.
- Stripe webhooks and the return-page confirmation are idempotent, so the same payment is never credited twice.
What you can launch
- Apps, websites, open-source projects, games, and maker tools.
- Chat invites, adult content, malware, scams, and illegal products are not allowed.
- Tracking parameters are removed from submitted links.
- Moderation may remove unsafe listings without refunding spent coins.
