About

bidbetter.lol started as a simple side project hoping to clear off my family's debt: no ads, no API keys, no revenue sharing. Just claim #1 — that's it.

Then it went live

The site launched on September 1st, 2026, at 3:01 AM, IST.

A few crazy things that happened since then:

1

$3
revenue
$3
highest rank (so far) · @PragyaTamang-02
1

Built and launched this at 3 AM today because apparently bidding on products wasn’t chaotic enough. Now you can bid on YouTube channels, Instagram, TikTok, X, and more.

  • Result from our bidbetter bid: Friday: 44 trials, Saturday: 38 trials, Sunday: 31 trials. It was incredibly successful. People told me it was just bragging, but it actually worked.

  • Tested bidbetter traffic. Conversions are solid, users stay longer. Definitely worth bidding for top slots if you have a developer tool.

  • bidbetter is the new Product Hunt. Bid for traffic, get high intent clicks, no algorithm games.

The board is still here. Same rules. Same idea. Rank is what you pay — nothing else.
