About

One number.
One ranking.

Apptop is a paid leaderboard for apps and online tools. It makes placement easy to understand and hard to manipulate with fake accounts.

The whole algorithm

Higher net bid = higher rank.

Equal bids keep the older settled position.

No votes

There are no likes, referral points, streaks, or community votes. Extra accounts have no ranking value.

Paid placement is disclosed

Every ranked link is marked as sponsored. A position is not an award, recommendation, or promise of traffic.

Budget follows the destination

Verified contributions accumulate on the same canonical URL. A higher target charges only the difference, while the same or a smaller contribution is added in full.

Reversals count

Pending quotes do nothing. Settled events add to rank, while refunds and chargebacks subtract their original contribution.
