FAQ
Common questions about HYPEE. The Rules and Terms are the source of truth if anything here conflicts.
- What is HYPEE?
- HYPEE is a public leaderboard for social media creators where rank is what you pay. There are no votes, no algorithm, and no revenue share. You list a profile, pay an amount, and sit above everyone who paid less.
- How does HYPEE work?
- Enter a handle or profile URL, pick a platform and niche, and pay. A completed payment claims the rank. New listings start at ₹99. Taking #1 costs at least ₹51 more than the current #1. Paying less still puts you on the board at whatever rank that amount can take.
- How much does it cost to rank?
- New listings are whole rupees, ₹99 minimum, ₹9,99,999 maximum, ₹1 at a time. Taking first place costs at least ₹51 more than the current #1. If you are already on the board, checkout only charges the difference when you raise.
- How do I get #1?
- Pay at least ₹51 more than whoever is currently #1 on that board. On All-time that is the highest amount ever paid for a listing. On Today it is the most anyone else spent in the last 24 hours.
- What is the difference between the All-time, Today and Daily boards?
- One payment ranks you on every board that includes that spend. All-time is everything you have ever paid and does not expire. Today is a rolling 24 hours. Daily is a UTC calendar day, and past days freeze as an archive.
- Can I raise my rank after I already paid?
- Yes. Open your listing and raise it. The new total must be at least ₹1 above your current amount, and checkout only charges the difference. Someone else cannot take your rank by paying only that difference.
- Are payments refundable?
- No. All payments are final. Being outranked later, dropping off the Today board after 24 hours, fewer clicks than you hoped for, or removal for breaking the rules does not create a refund.
- Who can be listed?
- A social profile you own or are authorised to represent, on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, or Twitch. Accounts belonging to people under 18 are not allowed. Chat and invite links, sexual content, and adult platforms are not allowed.
- Are the follower counts verified?
- No. Follower numbers are self-reported by whoever created the listing and are shown as unverified. They have no effect on rank — rank is only the amount paid.
- How do I pay?
- Checkout runs through Razorpay. You choose a whole-rupee amount, accept the terms, and pay. Rank is claimed when the payment is confirmed. Card and UPI details are handled by Razorpay, not by HYPEE.
- Do rankings expire?
- All-time ranks do not expire. Today ranks drop off 24 hours after each payment. Daily ranks close at the end of that UTC day and stay frozen in the archive.
- What if someone else pays while I am checking out?
- Rank is assigned when your payment is confirmed, at whatever position that amount then supports. If someone paid more while you were in checkout, you still land on the board — just not necessarily at the rank you aimed for.
- How is this different from a creator marketplace or a follower ranking?
- It is not a measurement. Nothing here estimates reach, engagement, or influence. Every listing is a paid placement and the price is printed next to it.
- How do I report a listing or fix a niche?
- Use the Contact page. Use it for niche corrections, listing notices, takedown requests, and privacy requests.
