FirstRank Rules

Every rank has a defender. Every defender can be challenged. Your position is decided by your challenge amount and nothing else.

1. Claim your rank

Submit your website and choose the championship you want to compete in. New entries start at $5.

If another product already holds the position you want, challenge it with a higher amount.

2. Ranking

Every championship has its own independent leaderboard. Your rank applies only to the category you entered.

3. Challenge the defender

The minimum challenge is the current hold plus 2%, with a floor of $1. The same step applies at every position, first place included.

You may challenge with any amount at or above the minimum. A larger hold is harder for the next challenger to take.

4. Equal challenges

If two products hold the same amount, the earlier challenge keeps the higher rank.

5. Raise your position

Already listed? Submit the same website again. Everything you have already paid counts toward your new total — you pay only the difference.

Already listed, the smallest top-up is $1.

Current hold $120, new challenge $200, amount charged $80.

6. What you can list

Product and company websites, SaaS, AI tools, open-source projects, developer tools, mobile apps, browser extensions, APIs, and public profiles on X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, GitHub and Google Maps.

Profile listings are linked nofollow. Websites you own are linked dofollow.

7. What cannot be listed

Adult content, gambling, malware or phishing, URL shorteners, affiliate-only landing pages, temporary invite links, messaging-group links, redirect URLs and tracking URLs. Tracking parameters are removed automatically.

8. Unclaimed listings

Some products are listed by us so a new championship has something to be a championship about. They are marked unclaimed, hold nothing, and rank below every paid listing. If one is yours, the first payment claims it.

9. After your challenge

Your listing appears immediately and rankings update at once. Other products may challenge your position at any time — and we will email you when they do.

10. Payments

Payments are processed securely. All payments are final. Challenge amounts cannot be withdrawn or refunded after a successful placement.

11. Fair play

We do not use hidden algorithms, editorial rankings, sponsored ranking boosts, manual position changes, votes, reviews or AI scoring.

Click counts shown on listings are filtered for bots and de-duplicated per viewer. We do not inflate them, and there is no mechanism in this system that could.
