Public directory with transparent rankings
Outclimbed is a public startup and product directory where listings compete for position on a ranked wall. It is intended for startups, SaaS products, and side projects that want a visible directory listing and a way to measure traffic sent through their share link.
The ranking model is explicit: current rank equals 10 base points, bought points, and earned points. The minimum $10 entry provides the permanent 10-point base, additional paid points remain permanent, and referral points can raise a listing temporarily when new visitors or buyers arrive through its share link. Rankings, point components, clicks, categories, and recent activity are shown publicly on the wall.
Directory features
Transparent point-based ranking
The directory combines a permanent base of 10 points with purchased points and time-limited referral points to determine a listing's current rank.
Share-link referrals
Listing owners receive a share link that returns visitors to the directory with their climb highlighted, allowing referrals to contribute to rank.
Referral attribution
A person who reaches the wall through a share link contributes one earned point, while a referred person who buys a place contributes five earned points.
Wall views and categories
Visitors can view the all-time wall, today's activity, or listings filtered by directory category.
Visible activity data
The wall exposes activity signals including clicks sent to listings, paid and earned point components, recent activity, and referral performance.
Use cases
Launching a new project
Submit a startup, SaaS product, or side project to gain a position on a public directory wall and make its listing discoverable by category.
Driving referral traffic
Share a listing's dedicated link with an audience and use the visible referral and click signals to track how much attention reaches the wall from that sharing.
Monitoring directory position
Use the public point breakdown and current position to compare how much rank comes from paid placement versus time-limited audience activity.
Finding startups and products
Browse the wall by category or activity view to discover products across software, marketing, design, ecommerce, productivity, health, and other listed areas.
Reviewing marketplace activity
Use the public activity and referral indicators to identify which listings are attracting visitors or producing referred purchases.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ranking inputs are publicly displayed rather than hidden behind an opaque score.
- Paid points are permanent, so a listing does not lose its purchased points over time.
- Share links create a measurable referral path, including attribution when referred visitors later buy a listing.
- The wall supports all-time and today views plus category browsing.
Cons
- The available source describes the directory mechanics rather than product-detail pages, so listing-specific workflows and integrations are not established.
- Referral points are time-limited and can drop off after 30 days.
- A listing's position can change as other listings buy points or earn referrals.
FAQ
What is Outclimbed?
Outclimbed is a public directory for startups, SaaS products, and side projects. A listing appears on the wall after the minimum entry purchase.
How does a listing enter the directory?
A climb starts with a $10 minimum entry. That purchase provides 10 permanent base points, and the directory states that every dollar above the first $10 adds one permanent bought point.
How are rankings calculated?
Rank is calculated as base points plus bought points plus earned points. Earned points come from people reaching the wall through a listing's share link and from referred people who later buy their own place.
Do points expire?
Paid points do not expire. Referral points are credited for 30 days, and the directory states that both the visitor referral and the later purchase attribution then drop off.
Can visitors browse listings by category?
The directory page includes category browsing for areas such as Developer, Software, Marketing, SEO, Design, Social, Ecommerce, Business, Crypto, Security, Productivity, Health, Education, Hiring, Agencies, and Other.
