Questions

The awkward questions about buying a spot first, answered the way we would want them answered. Anything not here is almost certainly covered by the rules, which are short on purpose.

• Is the ranking really just money?

  Yes, the ranking is purely money. The highest total bid takes first place and ties break on click count. There is no editorial pick, no secret weighting and no way to game it other than bidding more trees than the app above you.

• Does my bid expire?

  No, a bid never expires. Your tree total is permanent and only ever goes up. You keep your position until someone bids more than you have, and topping up at any time puts you back above them.

• How do I know the trees are real?

  Every bid is passed to a verified reforestation partner as trees, and the running count on the board is the same number we send them. Your receipt carries the tree count for your own bid.

• Can I bid on an app I do not own?

  You can. Boosting someone else pushes their listing up the board and plants trees under their name. People do it for tools they love, and nobody has complained yet.

• What counts as a click?

  Anyone opening your listing from the board, counted once per press, shown next to your rank so buyers can see what the spot is actually worth before they bid on it.

• What does it cost to get listed?

  The minimum opening bid is two trees, which is $10. That puts you on the board and two trees in the ground. Where you land depends on who you outbid on the way in.
