Last updated · Content reviewed
topapp.lol is a public leaderboard for real iOS and macOS apps. An app's lifetime paid total determines its rank - payments stack and never expire. With 80 apps listed, $2,955 in lifetime bid volume, and 17,500+ visitors, it is the largest App Store-focused outbid board in the directory.
Our take
topapp.lol delivers solid click-through data and genuine App Store traffic at a reasonable median CPC. The lifetime-spend model rewards early movers who can compound their position over time. The iOS-only restriction limits the audience but also filters for higher-intent visitors browsing real apps. Best for mobile developers who want persistent ranked visibility alongside legitimate App Store competitors.

- Only if it has a public website with credible iOS or macOS availability. Pure web apps without an App Store presence are not eligible.
- What happens if I pay again for the same app?
- Your new payment is added to the app's existing lifetime total. You are only charged the amount you submit, not the difference to #1.
- Are there refunds on topapp.lol?
- No. All payments are final and non-refundable.
