About leadbid
Rank is the bid. Nothing else.
leadbid is a public leaderboard where the order is decided by one thing: how much money has been put behind each entry. No algorithm, no editorial picks, no accounts. Top total takes #1 — until someone pays more.
The board right now
How it works
Three steps, one payment
- 01
Enter a URL or @handle
Your product, your side project, your profile. Name, description and logo are read from the site itself — nothing to type.
- 02
Pick a total
Any whole-dollar amount from $1. The board tells you which rank that total lands at before you pay.
- 03
Pay the difference, take the rank
Outbid later? Enter the same URL and raise your total — you only pay the gap. Passing anyone, #1 included, costs $1 more than their total.

What makes it different
Built so it can't be gamed
No accounts
A listing is a URL and its running total. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log in to, nothing to lose.
Nothing to deface
Names, descriptions and logos come from the listed site's own metadata. Change your site, the board follows.
No ads, no API, no revenue share
The only thing for sale is a rank. Every visitor sees the same list, sorted the same way, updated live.
Payments you can trust
Polar is the merchant of record and handles tax and receipts. The board credits exactly what you paid — race-safe and idempotent.
Why it exists
A remake, with two fixes
The idea comes from outbid.lol: a leaderboard with exactly one rule. It turned out to be enough of a product that people tried to break it — by typing whatever they liked into their listing, and by paying for one amount while being credited for another.
leadbid keeps the rule and fixes the two holes. Listings are read from the site they point to, so nobody chooses what the board says about them. And payments credit exactly the amount that cleared, in a single transaction, so the board can never disagree with the money.
Same rules. Same idea. Nothing hidden.
