Inboxbid

Inboxbid is a permanent bidding leaderboard for email newsletters. Rank is decided by one number: the total a listing has paid. There is no editorial vote and no algorithm. How ranking works: - Bids are whole US dollars. Minimum $1, maximum $250,000 in a single payment. - Taking a seat costs $1 more than the total that seat already holds. - Matching a total does not pass it. On a tie, the older listing keeps the higher rank. - Bids accumulate into a running total per listing, so climbing later costs only the difference between what you have already paid and the seat you want. You never pay the full amount twice. - Nothing expires. There is no renewal and no delisting for inactivity. A seat is lost only by being outbid. What a listing includes: - A ranked position on the main board and in one of 47 category leaderboards. - A server-rendered page per listing with JSON-LD structured data and a generated social card. - Inclusion in /board.md, the complete ranking published as plain markdown, so the full board is machine-readable without executing JavaScript. Pricing is one-time payments only. No subscription, no monthly fee, no free tier. The minimum bid is $1. Current state, published openly: 6 listings, $16 paid onto the board in total, and the #1 seat costs $6 to take. The board opened on 22 August 2026. Built on Cloudflare Workers and D1 with Stripe Checkout. Operated by HeyNews LLC. Public listings remain subject to eligibility review.
