Know your spot.
An open leaderboard needs clear rules. Here’s exactly how placements work.
1. Submit first. Pay after approval.
Submit a working AI tool or AI-powered app. We review the product and its description before enabling a first placement. No payment is required for review. Save your private status link to check the result.
2. Choose a total. Pay the difference.
All prices are in USD. Choose a whole-dollar target total for the selected board. A new listing starts at $10. After the first confirmed payment, you can add at least $1, including on a fresh daily board. An increase must add at least $1. For example, moving from $20 to $35 costs $15. If partial refunds leave cents in your balance, the exact difference can include cents.
3. Moving into first place takes $5 more.
To overtake the leading tool on the selected board and category, set your total at least $5 above its credited total. If the leader has $50, set at least $55 to pass it. Matching $50 is allowed, but the older listing wins the tie. An existing leader can increase its total by $1.
4. Confirmation decides the moment.
Checkout purchases a fixed increment, not a reserved position. Other people can pay while your checkout is open. Every successful payment adds its own increment, even if you have another checkout in progress. We update rankings only after verified payment confirmation.
5. One payment counts on two boards.
All-time rankings sum credited payments. Today’s board counts payments confirmed on the current UTC date. A checkout completed after midnight may count toward the next day. Categories filter the same totals. Previous daily boards remain accessible and reflect subsequent refunds, disputes, or moderation.
6. Ties go to the older placement.
If credited totals match, the tool with the earlier first confirmed payment ranks higher. Internal listing ID provides the final consistent tie-breaker.
7. Keep it useful.
Submit accurate descriptions and a public product website. We do not accept impersonation, deceptive claims, malware, unlawful products, chat invites, or content unrelated to AI tools. A website gets one listing. We can reject, correct, or hide listings that no longer meet these rules.
8. Visibility is an opportunity.
Placements are advertising. We do not guarantee traffic, clicks, conversions, a permanent rank, or the quality of a listed tool. Refunds remove ranking credit; active or lost disputes temporarily or permanently remove the disputed payment’s credit. See the terms for payment and support details.
