EqualBid gives every approved startup one full hour at the top for the same $24 price. There are no bidding wars and nobody can pay to jump the FIFO queue. Every submission is safety-checked before checkout, with manual admin review when needed.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built EqualBid because startup promotion increasingly feels like an auction: whoever spends the most stays visible, while smaller makers disappear.
EqualBid uses a simpler system:
- Every standard listing costs the same: $24
- Every approved startup receives one full hour at #1
- The first 24 startups fill the board in order
- When the board is full and another startup is waiting, the leaderboard advances hourly using FIFO
- Nobody can bid more or pay to jump ahead
Safety is part of the workflow. Each submission is checked before payment. Lower-scoring or flagged submissions go to manual admin review. Spam and prohibited websites are never published automatically.
Founders can track review, payment, scheduling and live status from one dashboard, and receive email updates when their listing is submitted, approved, rejected, paid and scheduled.
There is also an optional $49 premium placement that remains visible in a separate sponsored card for 24 continuous hours. It does not change the standard FIFO order.
I would especially appreciate feedback on the fairness model and whether the submission flow explains the queue clearly. Thanks for taking a look!
