# Spawnrank

> Spawnrank is a public leaderboard for games on any store, where rank is what you pay. Developers and fans list a game from $5, every payment counts for a rolling 7 days, and anyone can pay more to pass. Operated by Joydle Interactive Ltd, London, UK.

Spawnrank works with games on Steam, Epic Games Store, itch.io, GOG, the App Store, Google Play, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, or the developer's own website. Each listing links straight to the game's store page, with a source tag the developer can see in their own analytics. Each game gets a shareable page with a live rank card.

## Rules

- A new listing costs at least $5, in whole US dollars, up to $99,999 per payment.
- Rank is the total paid in the last 7 days (rolling). There are also Today (since midnight UTC) and All-time boards.
- Raising your own game must add at least $1, and you pay only the difference.
- Taking #1 requires $5 more than the current #1's total. Ties go to whoever paid first.
- No rank is guaranteed: others can pay more at any time. Payments are final except duplicate charges.
- Payments are processed by Stripe.

## How to list a game

1. Open https://spawnrank.com and paste the game's store link.
2. Spawnrank reads the title, cover and description from the store page.
3. Choose an amount (the page shows the rank it would reach right now) and pay with Stripe.
4. The game appears on the board as soon as the payment is confirmed.
