The outbid.lol alternative I built for India
I came across outbid.lol and loved how simple it is. Products pay to sit higher on a public board, and the money is the whole ranking. No upvotes, no editors picking favourites. Put in more than the product above you and you're above it.
I wanted that here, built around how Indian businesses actually pay and sell. So I made overbid.in. To be clear up front: I'm not connected to outbid.lol in any way. I'm a fan, and the About page says the same.
What I changed
Money first. Bids here are in rupees, paid by UPI or card, and the GST is already inside the price you see. A spot starts at ₹49. I didn't want anyone doing currency maths or finding a surprise tax line at checkout.
Then time. This board starts over every Monday at midnight India time. A brand that shows up on a Thursday shouldn't be stuck behind someone who paid three months ago. Past winners don't disappear, though: there's an all-time ranking next to the weekly one, and every week's #1 goes into the Hall of Fame.
Then categories. A food brand and a SaaS tool aren't really fighting for the same people, so the board is split into AI Tools, SaaS, Dev Tools, Social & Communication, HR & Payroll, Jobs & Hiring, Accounting & Billing, Productivity, Marketing & SEO, Customer Support, Design & Creative, Templates & Digital Products, D2C & Ecommerce, Fashion & Beauty, Health & Wellness, Travel & Stays, Real Estate, Fintech, Edtech & Courses, Creators & Agencies, News & Media, Gaming & Esports, Others. You can be #1 in your category without being #1 overall.
A lot of good Indian brands live only on Instagram, so you can list an @handle instead of a website. And every brand gets its own page here with its link, description and how many people clicked through this week. I count clicks because that's the number you'll actually care about.
So which one?
If most of your customers are outside India, outbid.lol is probably the better fit. If you sell in India, I built this one for you. Nothing stops you being on both. I'm not quoting their prices because they're theirs to change, so check their site.
If you want to try it: go to the board, type your site or @handle, pick a category and an amount. You're live as soon as the payment goes through. Passing someone takes at least ₹50 more than their total.
Questions, or something you'd change? Write to me at hello@overbid.in. I read everything.
