Rules
The whole game is one number
bidyourapp is one public leaderboard for iOS apps. Your position is decided by a single number: the dollar amount attached to your listing. Nothing else is weighed — not ratings, not downloads, not who you know.
Ranking
- Bids can be any amount greater than $0, including cents (for example $0.10). The ceiling is $999,999.
- To take any spot — including #1 — you only need to match the amount sitting there. Bidding less is fine too: you land wherever your amount fits.
- When two listings hold the same amount, the newer bid ranks ahead. Matching a price takes that place.
- Paste the same App Store link again to raise your own listing. The new total has to be at least $0.01 above what you already hold, and you are charged only the gap. A different app always pays its full bid.
- Listings are keyed by App Store id. Tracking parameters, locale prefixes and affiliate tokens in the link are ignored.
What can be listed
- Any iPhone or iPad app that is live on the App Store.
- Name, icon, description, rating and screenshots are pulled from Apple at bid time. You cannot supply your own copy or images.
- Apps pulled from the App Store may be removed from the board.
- Mac-only apps, web links, beta invites and anything that is not an App Store listing are not accepted.
Once you have paid
- Your rank is claimed the moment the bid is confirmed — not when the checkout opens.
- Every click goes to your App Store page through a counted redirect. Totals are shown on the board.
- Bids are not refundable when you get outranked. Raise your bid to climb back.
Payment
- Live bids are paid through Lemon Squeezy. Your rank is claimed when payment succeeds, not when the checkout window opens.
- Without Lemon Squeezy keys, this copy stays a local demo: nothing is charged, but ranking still updates when you confirm.
