Startup directory
Most startup directories sort you alphabetically or by launch date, then forget about you. topbid.best is a live directory where your position is determined by how much you bid and how many clicks you get. The board updates in real time, bids decay 5% per day, and clicks add $0.10 to your rank score. This means active, engaging products rise to the top — not just the ones that submitted first.

A directory that works for you long-term
When you submit to a traditional directory, you get a listing page and a backlink. That's it. On topbid.best, your listing is on a live board that real people browse. Your position changes based on activity. You can climb by bidding more, or by sharing your link and getting clicks. And because bids decay, stale listings naturally drop — giving new submissions a real chance to be seen at the top.
What can you submit?
Any product website, SaaS landing page, AI tool, dev tool, indie project, or social profile. We accept standard URLs (your-domain.com), X/Twitter handles (@handle), Instagram (ig@handle), YouTube (yt@handle), and TikTok (tt@handle). We automatically scrape your title, description, favicon, and OpenGraph image. No manual formatting, no long submission forms, no approval wait.
How ranking works in this directory
Your rank is based on your effective score: effective bid (your bid after 5% daily decay) + click boost (clicks × $0.10). A $5 bid with 0 clicks has a score of $5. A $1 bid with 50 clicks has a score of $6. The listing with the higher score ranks higher. Ties are broken by bid age — the older bid wins. This means you can rank well without spending much, if your listing gets clicks.
Permanent listing, dynamic ranking
Your listing stays on the board permanently — it never expires, never gets archived, never gets deleted. But your rank changes constantly. Bids decay, clicks accumulate, other listings bid higher. The board is always shifting. Check back daily to see who's climbed, who's dropped, and who's about to be overtaken. You can top up your bid at any time by re-entering your URL with a higher amount — you only pay the difference.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a free startup directory?
The minimum bid to get on the board is $1. Once you're listed, you can climb for free by getting clicks — every click adds $0.10 to your rank score. There are no subscription fees, no recurring charges. You pay once per bid, and you only pay the difference when raising an existing bid.
How is this different from Product Hunt or BetaList?
Product Hunt and BetaList give you a brief window of visibility (24 hours or a week), then you're buried. topbid.best gives you permanent visibility with dynamic ranking. Your listing stays on the board forever, and you can climb at any time by bidding or getting clicks. There's no daily competition, no approval process, no launch day scheduling.
Do I get a backlink?
Your listing on the board links to your website with rel='sponsored noopener noreferrer'. Each listing also gets its own dedicated page at /listing/[id] with a direct link to your site. The directory is crawlable by search engines and listed in our sitemap.
How long does my listing stay on the board?
Forever. Your listing never expires, never gets archived, and never gets deleted (unless it violates the rules). Your rank will change over time as bids decay and other listings compete, but your listing remains on the board permanently.
