Rules
boost.app is a public leaderboard. There are no ads, no API keys, and no revenue share. You pay to stand above everyone else. Rank is the bid — nothing else.
How ranking works
- New listings start in whole US dollars, $1 minimum, $1 at a time. Bids already on the board keep their amount until they raise or get outranked.
- Taking #1 costs at least $1 more than the current top bid. Paying less still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal bids stay in the order placed — older bids keep the higher rank.
- Cumulative Bidding Math: When you enter the same URL or @handle again to raise your listing, your new payment is automatically added to your existing bid balance (
New Total Bid = Existing Bid + New Bid). Your rank position only increases and you never lose past investments! - App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar platform links are keyed by their path, so different apps don't share a bid. Tracking query strings are ignored.
What you can list
- You can list any mobile app available on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
- Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar.
- Links to adult or illegal content are strictly prohibited and will be removed immediately without refund.
- Query parameters are stripped from listing links. Affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs are automatically normalized.
- Link shorteners (bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl.com, etc.) are not allowed and will be rejected.
After you pay
- Your listing is public. Clicks go to the URL or profile you submitted, without query parameters.
- A completed payment is what claims the rank. Payments are not refundable.
- Paying means you agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, including the requirement that listed projects show valid company details.
