Promote your startup
Getting your startup in front of people is the hardest part of building one. topbid.best is a public leaderboard where your rank is determined by how much you bid and how many clicks you get. Submit your website, pay as little as $1 to claim a spot, and share your link to climb for free. Every click adds $0.10 to your rank score — so traffic begets more traffic.

Why a leaderboard beats a directory
Most startup directories list you alphabetically or by launch date. Once you're buried on page 47, nobody finds you. topbid.best is different: your rank is a live number that changes every second. Bid higher to move up. Get clicks to move up. The board decays 5% per day, so stale listings drop and active ones rise. This means a $1 listing with 50 clicks can beat a $5 listing with zero clicks — the board rewards engagement, not just money.
Two ways to climb: bid or share
You can pay to claim your rank — bids start at $1 and you only pay the difference when raising an existing bid. Or you can share your referral link and let clicks do the work. Every click on your listing adds $0.10 to your effective score. 100 clicks = $10 rank boost. A $1 bid with 50 clicks beats a $5 bid with 0 clicks. This makes topbid.best the only promotion platform where free traffic actually moves you up the board.
What you can submit
Submit any product website, SaaS landing page, or social profile. We accept URLs (your-domain.com), X/Twitter handles (@handle), Instagram handles (ig@handle), YouTube handles (yt@handle), and TikTok handles (tt@handle). We automatically scrape your site's title, description, favicon, and OpenGraph image so your listing looks great on the board. No manual formatting required.
How much does it cost?
The minimum bid is $1. That gets you on the board. To take #1, you need to bid $1 above the current leader. You only pay the difference when raising an existing bid — so if you already bid $5 and the leader is at $10, you pay $6 to take #1 (your total becomes $11). There are no subscriptions, no recurring charges, no hidden fees. Bids decay 5% per day, which means a $100 bid from a month ago has an effective bid of ~$21 — newcomers can overtake stale listings cheaply.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Product Hunt?
Product Hunt gives you 24 hours of visibility and then you're buried. topbid.best gives you permanent visibility — your listing stays on the board forever, and you can climb back up at any time by bidding more or getting clicks. There's no daily competition, no approval process, and no waiting for a launch day.
Can I promote my startup for free?
Yes. While the minimum bid to get on the board is $1, once you're listed you can climb for free by sharing your referral link. Every click on your listing adds $0.10 to your rank score. 100 clicks = $10 rank boost. If your content is good enough to get clicks, you can climb without spending another dollar.
What happens when someone outbids me?
Your listing stays on the board — it just moves down. You can add more to your bid at any time by entering the same URL again with a higher amount. You only pay the difference between your new bid and your current stored bid. Bids decay 5% per day, so even a high bid will eventually drop if not topped up.
Do you scrape my website metadata?
Yes. When you submit a URL, we automatically fetch your page title, meta description, favicon, and OpenGraph image. This is used to display your listing on the board with your branding. For social media handles, we fetch your profile picture and bio.
