How it works
The mechanics, plainly
Submit → get approved → your product appears on its category board at 0 Rank Points. Spend Credits only when you want promotional position. There is no listing fee, no subscription to appear, and no paywall to be discovered.
How it compares
Harpd vs the traditional approach
| Aspect | Harpd / this model | Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| To get listed | Free | Often a fee or ad spend |
| To rank higher | Optional Credits → Rank Points | Editorial or paid placement |
| Commitment | Pay only for promotion you want | Recurring subscription |
| Transparency | Rank Points labeled promotional | Mixed disclosure |
Why it matters
Free entry means the board fills with real products, not just those who bought a slot. Promotion is a separate, clearly-labeled lever — so discovery stays open and paid push is honest.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay to appear on Harpd Rank?
No. Approval is free and your product is listed. You only spend Credits if you want to add Rank Points for promotional position.
What does 1 Credit do?
The first Credit makes an approved product eligible to enter Rank. Further Credits add permanent Rank Points that move it up the board.
Can I remove paid Rank Points later?
Rank Points are permanent placement; a competitor out-spends them to move ahead. You are never locked into a recurring fee to stay listed.
