Rules
HypeRank 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.
Your amount decides the rank
The board sorts listings by total paid, highest first. There is no other input — no votes, no editorial picks, no algorithm. Pay more than #1 to take #1. Pay less and you land at whatever place that bid can take. When two listings hold the same total, the older bid keeps the higher rank.
Minimum $1, whole dollars, no refunds
New listings start at $1 and run to $999,999, in whole US dollars. Taking #1 costs a dollar more than the current leader. All payments are final. There are no refunds, including when somebody outbids you.
Bids add up
Every payment adds to that listing’s total. Got outbid? Enter the same link and top up the difference to climb back — you never start from zero, and you only pay the gap. A raise has to lift your total by at least $1.
Two ranks, one amount
Every listing is ranked twice off the same total: once against the whole board, and once inside its own category. A listing can lead Apps while sitting well down the global board. The home page prices #1 from the global leader; a category page prices it from that category’s leader.
Free listings
You can join the board without paying: post about hyperank.lol on X, paste the link to your post, and we verify it. A free listing sits below every paid listing, however small the payment, and drifts further down as newer free listings arrive above it. One free listing per X account. Your post has to be public, has to be written by the account claiming it, and has to mention hyperank.lol — we check all three against X itself. Bid a dollar at any time and the listing moves into the paid block, keeping everything it already has.
Categories come from the link
We read the category off the address you submit — an x.com link is X, an App Store link is Apps, anything on its own domain is Websites. Nothing is assigned by hand or by a model, and nothing can be filed into a quieter category to buy a cheap #1. The one case you choose yourself is a bare handle: @someonecould be on any of five networks, so you pick which — and only those five are offered.
One link, one listing
Addresses are reduced to a canonical form before they are keyed, soexample.comandwww.example.com/?ref=xare the same listing. App Store, Google Play and GitHub links are keyed by their own identifiers, so two apps never share a bid. Query strings are stripped, which means affiliate, referral and tracking URLs do not survive. Short links are expanded to whatever they point at.
What you can list
A product website, an app listing, or a profile on X, Threads, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn. Not allowed: chat and invite links (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal and the like), sexual or adult content, and links you have no permission to promote.
We don't sell clicks
You pay for a place on this board and nothing else. We do not promise traffic, followers or any number of clicks. Outgoing traffic is whatever real people decide to click. The click counts shown on each row are exactly that: counts, not guarantees.
No guarantees
A bid buys a position, not a permanent one. Anyone can outbid you at any moment, and your rank drops without notice and without a refund.
Removals
We remove listings that are illegal, impersonate someone, or abuse the service. There is no refund when that happens. You may only list something you own or have permission to promote.
