Outbid for $125 · #1 is Wento: Trip Planner & Map
Last updated · Content reviewed
Bidyourapp is a paid leaderboard for iOS App Store apps. Developers bid in whole US dollars to rank their app higher - the highest bidder takes #1. With 52 listings, 90 paid bids, $2,000 in revenue, and 13,500+ visitors, it is one of the most data-rich outbid boards thanks to a comprehensive /api/stats endpoint that publishes real-time traffic, clicks, and revenue breakdowns.
Our take
Bidyourapp stands out for transparency. Its stats API publishes hourly traffic data, total clicks, and paid bid counts - rare for this category. The $0.42 median CPC is competitive for App Store traffic, and the top-up mechanic (pay only the difference) lowers the cost of defending your position. The iOS-only restriction filters for high-intent mobile audiences. Main risk is the small board size limiting organic discovery.
