Every pay-to-rank leaderboard, compared

In August 2026 the internet rediscovered the Million Dollar Homepage: pay money, get ranked, dare someone to outbid you. Within 72 hours there was a whole genre. Here's the full list — including us, marked honestly.

outbid.lolAny website or @handle
Mechanic:
Highest lifetime bid holds #1. Beat the top by $1 to take it.
Your bid:
Permanent — but the #1 price only ratchets up. It passed $1,000 within 48 hours of launch.
Note:
The site that started the August 2026 wave. ~190K visitors in its first days, nearly all from X.
topapp.loliOS App Store apps only
Mechanic:
Same pay-more-rank-higher model, but listings are App Store links with icons and seller names.
Your bid:
Permanent, lifetime total per app.
Note:
The App Store fork of the idea, launched a day after outbid.lol.
outbid.toAny website
Mechanic:
One public leaderboard; your bid determines your rank until someone outbids you.
Your bid:
Permanent until outbid.
Note:
A straight clone of outbid.lol.
frontpage.shEight ad squares
Mechanic:
Perpetual auction for 8 squares. Pay a multiple of the last price to take one.
Your bid:
Refunded with profit — get outbid and you leave with up to 1.5× what you paid.
Note:
The most financialized variant: being outbid is how you win. Closer to a game of chicken than a leaderboard.
topple.lolAny website or @handle
Mechanic:
King-of-the-hill: highest melting score holds #1. Bids lose 50% of their power every 24 hours.
Your bid:
Melts — which is the point. #1 always decays back toward $1, so the game never freezes.
Note:
This site. Built because the permanent-bid ladder freezes: decay keeps every throne affordable and every king mortal.
Disclosure: topple.lol is this site — judge the mechanics, not our bias.

Which one should you bid on?

For a one-off traffic spike while the wave is hot: outbid.lol has the most eyeballs today. For iOS apps specifically: topapp.lol. If you want being outbid to pay you: frontpage.sh. If you want a top spot you can actually afford next week too — that's why we built topple.lol: bids melt, thrones decay, and #1 is always within reach.

On every one of these sites (ours included) listing links are rel=sponsored — you're buying attention, not SEO. Updated August 21, 2026. Know a site we missed? It probably launched an hour ago.
