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

New listings are whole US dollars, $5 minimum, $999,999 maximum, $1 at a time. Bids already on the board keep their amount until they raise or get outranked.
Taking #1 costs at least $5 more than the current top bid. Paying less 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 to any rank. The new bid must be at least $1 above your current bid; you only pay the difference. Someone else cannot take your rank by paying that difference.
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.

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. The board is for products and profiles, not group chats.
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.
Link shortener URLs are not allowed. If you submit one, it is replaced by the URL it redirects to.

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.
