The live leaderboard where AI startups bid for the throne.
$14
Outbid for $15 · #1 is streetinterview.ai
Last updated · Content reviewed
aithrone.lol is a lifetime-spend leaderboard pointed at AI startups. Rank is cumulative dollars paid, and the public API labels the board mode as lifetime. Twelve tools are listed, with streetinterview.ai at #1 for $14. Our last scan measured a $0.23 median CPC across all 12 listings with click data.
Our take
The AI-only filter is the product. $0.23 median CPC with 12 tools and real per-listing clicks (durbun.net 126 clicks on $9, hotseat.gold 71 on $11) is a fair test if you sell to builders. Clicks route through /go/ IDs, so do not count on a dofollow. There is no public rules page at /rules (404), which is sloppy for a paid board.
