Rules

Last updated: September 22, 2026

Outbid Twist is a public leaderboard. There's no ad platform and no revenue share — you pay to stand above everyone else, and rank is the bid, nothing else. These Rules work together with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If the Terms and these Rules conflict, the Terms control.

How ranking works

New listings are whole US dollars, $5 minimum, $999,999 maximum. Bids already on the board keep their total until they raise or get outranked — the leaderboard never resets.

Taking #1 costs at least $5 more than the current top total. Paying less still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal totals stay in the order they were reached — the listing that got there first keeps the higher rank.

Already on the list? Enter the same URL or @handle again to raise your bid. The new total must be at least $1 above your current total, and checkout only charges the difference. Someone else can't take your rank by simply matching your total.

App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar platform links are keyed by their path, so different apps or repos don't share a bid. Query strings and tracking parameters are stripped before a link is stored. Link shortener URLs aren't stored as-is — we resolve them to their real destination first.

What you can list

A product website, or an X/Twitter @handle.

Not allowed: sexual or adult content; chat and invite links (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar) — the board is for products and profiles, not group chats; malware, phishing, or scam destinations. We may remove a listing that breaks these rules at any time, without refund.

Categories are chosen by the submitter from a fixed list at the time of listing.

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, and payments aren't refundable. Paying means you agree to these Rules, the Terms of Service, and the Privacy Policy.

Inviter leaderboard

Separately from bidding, anyone can join the inviter program and get a personal referral link. That leaderboard ranks inviters by unique visitors sent through their link — deduplicated, not raw clicks or signups — and runs in recurring periods. We filter suspected bots and rate-limit abnormal traffic before crediting a visit.
