How it works
One page, no fine print. If something here is unclear, assume the reading that favours the buyer.
What a tier listing includes: a 5-minute guaranteed hold
- A new listing gets 5 minutes at that tier, guaranteed. During those 5 minutes nobody can take the tier from you — the price you pay is for that fixed, known position.
- When the 5 minutes are up, the tier enters bonus time: you keep it, free, for as long as nobody takes it. There is no countdown pressure and no auto-expiry.
- If another creator takes the tier after your hold has lapsed, your listing moves down one position and keeps its profile page and click history.
- Listings show LOCKED with a live countdown while a hold is active, and Bonus time once it has lapsed — so nothing happens blind.
The public activity feed
- Every new listing appears in the live ticker on the homepage with the tier, the price paid and the new tier price.
- Directory milestones are shared from our own @PurchaseFast account as community updates.
- You can add your product and founder handles in the dashboard so those updates credit you correctly.
Who can take a tier listing
- You need an account. Sign in with Google or email — a listing is always tied to a real owner.
- Product name plus a tagline of at least 10 characters are required, so every entry reads as a real listing.
- The website must be a working https:// link. http, IPs and bare domains are rejected.
- One website, one listing: a domain already in the directory cannot be listed a second time.
- You can hold a maximum of 3 tiers at a time, so no one can occupy the whole directory.
- You cannot re-take a tier you already hold, and there is a 30-second cooldown between listings.
- Logos must be an https image URL. Broken logos fall back to a letter mark.
- Every rule above is enforced on the server at checkout, not just in the form.
Dynamic tier pricing
- The directory is 399 numbered tiers. Each has its own live price, shown on the listing.
- Listing is instant. There is no bidding — you pay the transparent price on screen and the tier is yours.
- Pricing is demand-based per tier: each time a tier is taken, its price steps up 10% for the next creator. Tier #1 at $100 becomes $110, then $121.
- Each tier reprices independently, so in-demand tiers climb fastest while lower tiers stay affordable entry points.
- Prices never go down. The total directory value is public and always rising.
Tier changes and position moves
- You can take an occupied tier. The previous listing moves to the next open tier below and stays live.
- A listing pushed past the last tier keeps its profile page but loses its tier position.
- Listings can upgrade at any time by paying the current price of a higher tier.
What each tier includes
- #1 (Spotlight): the top position of the directory and the featured card in the homepage hero.
- #2–#10 (Featured): a highlighted listing above the fold with logo, tagline and link.
- #11–#30 (Listed): a standard directory listing with logo, tagline and link.
- #31–#399 (Standard): a directory listing with logo, tagline and link.
- Every tier, at every level, gets its own profile page and a public click counter.
When your listing goes live
- Your directory listing, profile page and share card are generated the second payment clears.
- Click tracking starts immediately and the counter is public on your listing and profile page.
- If anything fails to generate, we fix it by hand the same day — a paid tier is always delivered.
Refunds and moderation
- Having your tier taken by another creator is part of how the directory works and is not refundable.
- If we reject or remove your listing under the moderation rules, you get a full refund.
- No adult content, no scams, no malware, no impersonation, no hate. We reject anything we wouldn't want in the directory.
