About bidly.lol

bidly.lol is a public leaderboard where products, startups, and tools compete for visibility by placing bids. The highest bid earns the top position — and with it, the most attention and clicks.

How it works

The concept is simple: you submit your website, choose a category, and place a bid. Your product appears on the leaderboard at a position determined by your bid amount. The higher you bid, the higher you rank.

Why a leaderboard?

Getting discovered is one of the hardest problems for new products. Traditional advertising is expensive and opaque. Directories are static and don't reward effort. bidly.lol creates a transparent, competitive space where anyone can compete for attention.

The leaderboard creates a natural competitive loop: products bid to rank higher, which brings more visibility, which drives more traffic, which motivates competitors to bid more. Everyone benefits from the attention.

How ranking works

Rankings are determined entirely by bid amount. The product with the highest total bid holds the #1 position. If two products have equal bids, the one that placed its bid earlier gets priority.

You can increase your bid at any time to climb higher. You only pay the difference between your current bid and the new amount.

How clicks are tracked

Every time a visitor clicks on your listing to visit your website, we count it. Click counts are displayed publicly on the leaderboard, giving potential visitors a sense of how much traffic each product receives.

Who is this for?

bidly.lol is for anyone who has built something and wants people to see it. Startups, indie hackers, SaaS founders, developer tool makers, and anyone else who wants to compete openly for visibility.
