Rules
ToolRank is a public leaderboard. There are no ads, no referral cuts, and no editorial ranking. You pay to stand above everyone else.
How ranking works
- Bids are whole US dollars. $5 minimum to get on the board.
- Anyone can outbid a listing. The minimum raise is $3.
- Paying less than #1 still puts you on the board at the rank that bid can buy.
- Equal bids keep the older listing higher.
- One payment holds the rank until someone else pays more. There is no rental timer.
- Submit the same URL again to raise that listing. You pay the new bid amount. The original name and pitch stay put.
- We may hide listings that break these rules. Policy removals are not refunded.
What you can list
- AI tools, developer products, Chrome extensions, and indie SaaS sites.
- Chat invite links and URL shorteners are not allowed.
- Tracking query strings are stripped. Rank the product, not the campaign.
- Adult content is not allowed.
After you pay
- Your listing is public, including the bid amount.
- Clicks go through a tracked redirect so you can show outbound traffic.
- Every listing gets a share page you can post on X, Discord, or Product Hunt.
- A completed Creem payment is what claims the rank. Pending checkouts do nothing.
