How our leaderboards reveal tonight's standouts
Three ranking stages show community votes, paid promotion and domain strength. Learn how Launch of the Week badges are earned.

Community takes the spotlight
Our Community leaderboard ranks launches by votes alone. No money changes the order—every position is earned through the response of people like you. This is where the honest applause lives.
The paid stage
The Billboard leaderboard is different: it shows launches ranked by money contributed, starting at $5. We mark it clearly as paid, so you always know what you're seeing. Founders can buy their way onto this board, but community votes still decide the main stage.
Domain Rating: the technical curtain call
Our Domain Rating leaderboard pulls from Ahrefs data, showing each listing's domain strength alongside the trend (up, down or unchanged). You'll see when the rating was checked and when it last moved, so the picture is always current.
Launch of the Week: standing ovation
Each week (Monday to Sunday, UTC), the top 3 launches by Community votes earn Launch of the Week badges. These are awarded automatically when the week closes. Winners receive email notification of their top billing.
No bidding, no budgets—just the launches that moved your community most.
