Question 1

How does bidding for a rank work?

Accepted Answer

Every listing on Rankbids holds its position with a one-time payment. The board is ordered by what each listing paid, highest first. To take a spot, you pay $1 more than whoever currently holds it. Your rank then holds until someone pays more than you.

Question 2

What does it cost to get listed?

Accepted Answer

The minimum bid is $5. That is enough to appear on the board — it just lands you at whatever position $5 earns in that category. Paying less than the current #1 does not mean your bid is rejected; it means you rank lower.

Question 3

Is this a subscription?

Accepted Answer

No. Every bid is a single payment processed by Stripe. There is nothing to cancel and nothing recurring. You only pay again if you want to raise your bid.

Question 4

What can I submit?

Accepted Answer

Any public link: a product website, an X profile, a GitHub repository, a Shopify store, an App Store or Play Store listing, a Substack, or a personal portfolio. We read the page for its title, description and icon so your listing fills itself in.

Question 5

What happens if someone outbids me?

Accepted Answer

You move down the board, but your listing stays live at its new position. Nothing is deleted and no refund is issued — you keep the placement you paid for, just below the person who paid more. You can raise your bid at any time to climb back.

Question 6

How is 'Today' different from 'All-time'?

Accepted Answer

All-time ranks every active listing by its standing bid. Today only ranks listings that received a paid bid in the last 24 hours, so a smaller bid placed this morning can lead the daily board even while larger all-time bids sit above it overall.
