AppCharts.app

App Store rankings are a black box. AppCharts is a public ranking for indie apps. You submit, people vote, the list is the list. One vote per person per app per week. Votes reset. Nothing is hidden. The homepage Spotlight is paid, on purpose. If you want the top slot, you buy it. If someone wants it more, they outbid you — 1.5× the current weekly rate, hard cap $1,000/week. You lose the slot. No refund. I built it because I ship iOS apps and I was tired of “discovery” meaning ads.
