How does the TopSaaS Elo rating system work?

Every SaaS product begins at a baseline 1500 Elo score. When two products battle, Elo is dynamically recalculated based on the opponent's strength. Defeating a higher-ranked software yields a significant rating boost, whereas losing to an underdog results in a rating penalty.

Can I submit my own SaaS product or challenge a competitor?

Yes! Anyone can launch a new duel for free by clicking '+ Create a Battle'. Simply paste the website URL of both software products, and our metadata engine will automatically fetch the logo, company, and product details to launch the battle instantly.

How are votes verified and protected against spam?

TopSaaS enforces strict 1-vote-per-IP duplicate detection backed by distributed Upstash Redis key locks and client-side device persistence to ensure all leaderboard rankings remain authentic and manipulation-free.
