The rules

Rank is the bid — nothing else. Everything below follows from that.

Bidding

• New spots start at $5. Whole dollars, $1 steps.
• Your app ranks above every app that paid less. Ties go to the older bid.
• Paying less than #1 still puts your app on the board at whatever rank that bid can take.
• Already listed? Paste the same link and raise — you only pay the difference.Nobody can take your rank by paying your difference; a different app has to beat your full amount.
• Your rank is claimed when the payment lands, not when you open checkout.
• Money never expires. The board is permanent — no weekly resets.

Listings

• iOS App Store apps only, identified by their App Store link. Metadata (icon, name, rating, screenshots) comes straight from Apple.
• No link shorteners, no chat invites, no adult content. Links are canonicalized and tracking parameters are stripped.
• If your app leaves the App Store, the listing greys out but keeps its rank. It comes back when the app does.
• Refunds roll your rank back by the refunded amount.

Taps

• Every tap on your listing goes to your App Store page with a campaign tag, so installs show up in your App Store Connect analytics.
• Tap counts on the board are public, live, and cookieless.
