Last updated · Content reviewed
Dethrone is a competitive startup leaderboard hosted on startupbase.io. Startups pay to claim ranks, with the goal of dethroning whoever holds #1. The board shows real-time statistics including total entries, revenue raised, online visitors, lifetime visitors and total clicks delivered. With 59 entries and over $1,000 raised, it is one of the more established startup-focused boards.
Our take
One of the better startup-focused boards thanks to its real-time stats and established creator (startupbase.io). The $5+ CPC is high compared to other boards, reflecting lower click volume despite decent visitor counts. The nofollow links limit SEO value, but the startup audience is well-targeted.
