About
App Store discovery is a black box. Rankings move for reasons nobody outside Apple can see, and the paid version of it hides behind an auction you cannot watch. This is the opposite: one number decides everything, the number is public, and so is what it bought.
What it is
A leaderboard of iOS apps ordered by what was paid for the position. Every listing is a paid placement. There is no editorial judgement anywhere in it, and the board never claims these are the best apps, only the ones that paid the most.
Every row is pulled live from Apple: the icon, the name, the subtitle, the developer, the category, the star rating and the price. We do not write listings, and there is nothing to write.
Where the numbers are
0visitors since launch
$0paid so far
unclaimedhighest bid
0apps on the board
Those four move on their own. The full breakdown, including how many taps the board has sent to the App Store, is on the stats page, and it is public for the same reason the tap count sits on every row: the next bidder should be able to see the return before paying, not after.
No accounts
There is no sign up, no login and no dashboard. Paying is the whole interaction. The only thing this site stores about you is one first-party session cookie, and the privacy page says exactly what it does.
Who runs it
One developer, as a side project. It is not affiliated with Apple Inc., and Apple has no involvement in what appears here. Reach us at hello@iosrank.lol.
The board is open. Nobody has bid yet, so $5 takes #1. Go and look at it.
