Rules
toprated.lol is a public leaderboard of App Store apps. 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 app again to raise that listing to any rank. The new bid must be at least $1 above your current bid, and you only pay the difference. Someone else cannot take your rank by paying that difference — outside bidders always pay their full amount.
- App Store links are keyed by their app id, so different apps never share a bid. Storefront, slug, and tracking query strings are ignored.
What you can list
- An iOS or Mac App Store app. That is the whole list.
- Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar. This board is for apps, 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 resolved to the App Store link they point at, or rejected.
After you pay
- Your listing is public. Clicks go to the App Store page for the app you submitted, without query parameters.
- A completed payment is what claims the rank. Nothing lands on the board before that.
- You buy an amount, not a rank. If someone outbids you while you are in checkout, your payment still stands and your listing takes whatever rank that amount earns at the moment it lands.
- Placement is permanent until someone outbids you. No decay, no expiry, no subscription.
