The rulebook

The rules

knocked.lol is a public pay-to-rank leaderboard. Here's exactly how it works — and what you're agreeing to when you bid.

01

How ranking works

  • Bids are in whole US dollars. Minimum is $5.
  • Your rank is your cumulative total — every dollar you've ever paid on this listing.
  • Someone else must exceed your cumulative total to take your rank.
  • Submitting the same URL or @handle again adds to your running total — you don't start over.
  • Paying less than the current #1 still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid earns.
  • Ties are broken by whoever reached that total first.
02

What you can list

Allowed

  • Product websites (SaaS, tools, apps, ecommerce)
  • X (Twitter) profiles via @handle
  • App Store / Play Store product pages
  • GitHub repos, docs sites, portfolio pages

Not allowed

  • Chat / invite links (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack)
  • Affiliate or tracking links
  • Adult, illegal, or hateful content
  • Personal information about others

App Store, Play Store, and similar platform links are keyed by their path — different apps don't share a bid. Query parameters are stripped when the listing key is generated.

03

After you pay

  • Your listing is public the moment payment clears — no manual review.
  • Clicks go to the URL or profile you submitted, without any tracking parameters.
  • A completed payment is what claims the rank — not a pending checkout.
  • If you provided an email, we'll ping you if someone knocks you off #1.
  • Listings stay on the board indefinitely as long as they're at a valid rank.
04

Payment & chargebacks

  • Payments are processed by Dodo. We never see your card details.
  • By completing checkout you confirm you've reviewed the product and pricing.
  • Bids are non-refundable — this is baked into the model.
  • Contact hello@knocked.lol before initiating any dispute — most issues can be resolved directly.
  • Fraudulent chargebacks may result in the listing being removed and the buyer banned from future bids.
05

Content & takedowns

  • We reserve the right to remove any listing that violates the rules above — no refund.
  • If a listing you don't own uses your product URL or @handle, email us with proof and we'll investigate.
  • DMCA / IP takedown requests: hello@knocked.lol.
