Launch free, earn reputation, and invest in rank.
Launching on AppBoard costs nothing. You earn reputation by taking part in the community, then invest it in any product to lift it up the leaderboard — including your own. Rank is not for sale; the only currency that moves it is earned.
From launch to rank in five steps
Discover what the community is backing
Browse the live leaderboard, updated daily. Filter by category, use case, or platform to find exactly what you need. Every product is ranked by one open, transparent score built from real community activity — no pay-to-win, no gatekeepers, nothing on this board bought its way there.
Launch your product for free
Create an account, click Submit, and paste your URL. Our AI prefill extracts your product name, tagline, and description automatically. Add a logo and screenshots, pick your categories, and go live. Your listing stays up permanently: no listing fee, no queue to pay past, nothing to renew.
Activity earns you reputation
Upvote, comment, review, follow, or save a product and you earn 1 reputation point. Each of those five actions is capped at 10 points a day, so the ceiling is 50 a day — enough to build a real balance, too little to farm. Reputation comes from using AppBoard and from nothing else, which is what makes it worth something.
Your reputation is a balance you spend
Reputation accumulates across everything you ship, shows on your creator profile, and is yours to allocate: invest it in any product to lift it up the leaderboard — someone else's or your own — up to 1,000 points at a time. Earning it doesn't raise your rank by itself. Investing it is what moves a product.
Invested reputation becomes visibility
Invested points are a real term in the ranking score, and they decay like upvotes — full weight for 7 days, half to day 30, a quarter after — so rank has to be kept up rather than bought once. A higher score means the leaderboard, the home page rows, and the category and alternatives pages where people arrive already looking for what you built. That attention earns more reputation, and the loop starts again.
Common questions
Everything you need to know before you launch.
Yes — accounts, submissions, launches, votes and investing reputation all cost nothing, and your listing has no expiry. Rank itself is never for sale: the score has no paid input, so every listing competes on equal terms.
As many as you like. Each product gets its own listing and its own score, while your reputation balance stays yours — you decide which of your launches to back with it.
Share your AppBoard listing link on social media, in newsletters, and in Slack/Discord communities. Upvotes count at full weight for 7 days, and a fresh launch carries the highest freshness multiplier for its first 14 days — so early momentum compounds.
No. The score is built from upvotes, saves, follows, ratings, real click-throughs, invested reputation and freshness — there is no money term in it anywhere. The only currency that moves rank is reputation, and reputation has to be earned.
