Every product directory claims to rank you by "relevance" or "quality." In practice nobody can tell you why a listing is #4 instead of #9, and the only way to move up is to guess what the algorithm wants this month.

We got tired of guessing, so we built Rankboard: a leaderboard where the bid is the rank. No hidden scoring, no editorial picks, no content mill to please. The amount next to your listing tells you exactly why it's there — because you can read the whole board in about a second.

The other thing we changed: no renewal clock. Most "featured placement" products on directories are subscriptions that quietly expire and drop you off the board the day you forget to renew. On Rankboard your spot is yours for as long as your bid stays the highest one. No calendar to track.

If you're an indie founder who's tired of chasing algorithm changes to get visibility for your product, this is built for you. Bid once, hold your spot, get outbid, decide if it's worth reclaiming.
