Rules

The two boards

Every pin is ranked twice, and you can switch between them with the All-time / Today tabs above the price:

• All-time ranks by everything you have ever paid. It never resets and nothing is ever taken away, so it is a permanent record of who has spent the most.
• Today ranks by what you have paid since midnight UTC. It empties every night, which means the top of it is always winnable — often for a couple of dollars.

Both boards rank the same way: whoever has paid the most is on top. Pay more than the pin above you and you take its place. Pay less and you still land on the map at whatever position your amount holds — there is no losing bid, only a smaller pin.

Equal amounts are broken by clicks: the pin with more total clicks ranks higher. If clicks tie too, the older pin wins. You are also ranked inside your region, so there are seven #1 spots on each board rather than one.

How ranking works

• New pins start at a $2 minimum, whole US dollars only, maximum $999,999.
• Nothing expires and nothing decays. Money you have paid keeps counting on the all-time board forever.
• Your pin appears on the Today board only on days you pay into it. On other days it stays on the map, shown but unranked.
• Pin size follows whichever board you are looking at — bigger payment, bigger pin.

Raising your pin

Enter the same URL or @handle again with any amount of at least $1. You only pay what you add — never your total again. Every top-up counts toward both boards: it raises your all-time total and puts you on today's board. The same link always maps to the same pin, and there are no accounts — the link itself is the identity.

Where your pin goes

You choose the spot yourself: click the map and your pin lands on those exact coordinates — a city, a country, the middle of the Pacific if you like. We work out which country you landed in and show it on your listing.

Your region follows from that point rather than being picked separately, so the two can never disagree. The seven regions are North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Antarctica. A pin never moves once placed — topping up raises it, it does not relocate it.

What you can pin

• A product website, or an X @handle.
• Vibe-coded builds, weekend projects and AI-built sites are all welcome. There is no minimum size and no polish bar — if it's live on a real URL, it belongs on the map.
• App Store, Play Store and GitHub links are keyed by their path, so different products don't share a pin. Query parameters are stripped, so affiliate and tracking tails will not survive. Link shorteners are rejected.
• Chat and invite links (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord and similar) are not allowed. Adult content is not allowed.

Pins that break these rules, or that are unlawful, infringing or deceptive, can be rejected or removed at any time without refund. The terms have the details.

After you pay

• A completed payment is what claims the rank. Your pin typically rises within seconds of payment confirmation.
• Payments are one-time, in US dollars, processed by Dodo Payments as merchant of record.
• Clicks go to your URL with utm_source=pinmap appended, so you can see the traffic in your own analytics.
• All sales final, no refunds. Being out-pinned later is the game, not a defect.

Biggest pin owns the region. The map is the proof.
