Cheaper Alternatives to Ass Auction (September 2026)

Ass Auction charges $5/mo minimum for ad space on boxers—here are three pay-to-rank alternatives starting at $1.

Ass Auction (site) is an ad network with one placement: a pair of boxers. Pay $5 or more and your logo joins a leaderboard where your total spend sets your rank; the top 22 spenders get their logo actually worn, and there are no refunds if someone outbids you.

If $5 is more than you want to spend just to test a pay-to-rank ad concept, here are three alternatives with lower entry points, cheapest first.

Comparison

Product Free tier Starts at Best for
LANDLORDS.lol No $1/mo Owning a square on a Monopoly-style board
whoisthegoat.lol No $1/mo Bidding to rank a character on a leaderboard
Brand My MacBook No $1.2/mo Getting a sticker physically placed on a real laptop

LANDLORDS.lol

LANDLORDS.lol (site) lets users own squares on a Monopoly-style board, starting at $1 per square. Prices rise as other users outbid you for the same square, similar to Ass Auction's rank-by-spend model but applied to board squares instead of a leaderboard position. It suits people who want a cheap, low-commitment way into a bidding-war format without the $5 floor. There's no free tier, and unlike Ass Auction there's no described physical or wearable placement — ownership is purely on the board itself.

whoisthegoat.lol

whoisthegoat.lol (site) is an auction-based leaderboard where users bid money, starting at $1, to place or move a character on a "GOAT" ranking. As with Ass Auction, climbing the board means outbidding whoever currently holds the spot above you. It suits anyone who wants the same pay-to-rank mechanic at a lower buy-in and has already drawn strong early attention, with 69 launch-day votes. It has no free tier, and the brief doesn't state what, if anything, the top rank actually gets beyond position on the leaderboard.

Brand My MacBook

Brand My MacBook (site) runs a live auction for sticker ad space on a real MacBook lid, with zones priced from ₹100–₹2,000 (roughly $1.20–$24 USD). Highest bidders get their logo physically placed on the laptop, which is the closest match to Ass Auction's "worn on a real object" placement. It suits advertisers who want a tangible, photographable ad spot for a low starting bid. There's no free tier, and pricing is quoted in rupees with a USD estimate rather than a fixed dollar price, so actual cost will shift with exchange rates.

How to choose

If you want the same core mechanic as Ass Auction — pay to rank, get outbid, pay again — at a lower floor, LANDLORDS.lol and whoisthegoat.lol both start at $1. If having your ad physically placed on a real object (not just a leaderboard) matters to you, Brand My MacBook is the closer match to Ass Auction's boxers, though its price is quoted in rupees. whoisthegoat.lol's early traction (69 votes on launch day) may be worth weighing if visibility matters more than price.
