Rules & Guidelines

SpotOne is a transparent, open leaderboard where rank is determined purely by bid volume. Anyone can list for free, and makers can bid to outrank competitors and claim top-of-page visibility.

1. Free Submissions & Paid Boosts

  • 100% Free Listing ($0): Any maker can submit their product for free with no payment or credit card required.
  • Paid Boosts ($5+): You can place any bid amount (starting at $5) to outrank competitors and claim higher ranks or the #1 spot.
  • Re-Bidding & Top-Ups: Enter your existing URL to raise your rank anytime. You only pay the exact extra amount you choose to add (e.g. +$5, +$25, +$100, or any custom amount).

2. How Ranking is Calculated

  • Strictly Highest Bid: Position #1 goes to the highest active bid on the platform. All subsequent ranks follow in descending order.
  • Equal Bids: If two projects have identical bid amounts, the earlier submission retains higher priority.
  • Zero Black-Box Algorithms: There are no secret popularity scores, shadow bans, or sponsored boosts. Your rank is purely your bid.

3. Accepted Listings

  • Any public SaaS product, AI agent, developer tool, startup, personal portfolio, or community.
  • Links must lead to real, accessible websites or verified social handles (X/Twitter, GitHub, LinkedIn).
  • Prohibited: Malware, phishing, adult/NSFW content, fraudulent schemes, or deceptive links. Violations will result in immediate removal without refund.

4. Live Publication & Finality

  • Instant Go-Live: Free listings publish immediately; paid bids are verified and rendered live upon Paddle payment confirmation.
  • Live Click Telemetry: Every unique click on your listing is counted and recorded in real time on your card.
  • All Bids are Final: Payments directly claim public ranking and cannot be refunded once processed.
