How ranking works
The Hunt Score
Each launch’s score adds up votes, weighted by who cast them, plus real traffic and real sign-ups sent from Lingohunt. Scores reset every month, and each category and app sub-category crowns its own winners.
× 5
Verified vote
People the Lingohunt team has met in person, at partner events, meetups and conferences.
× 1
Community vote
Anyone with an account. Unverified, so each vote counts once. New accounts can vote 2 days after signing up, and community votes add at most 50 % of a launch’s score.
× 0.1

Fair play rules
- One account per person.
- No buying or trading votes, and no vote rings.
- No bots, scripts or fake accounts.
- No incentives for votes: no giveaways, discounts or rewards in exchange for an upvote.
If someone breaks them, we void the votes involved and can disqualify the launch: it’s hidden from the ranking.
Built in: each member can upvote up to 10 launches a month, new accounts vote after 2 days, community votes add at most 50 % of a score, visit points stop at 1,000 per launch and are capped per network, and throwaway email addresses can’t sign up.
These rules are reviewed regularly
We review the Hunt Score, its weights and the fair-play limits periodically, and at least once a year. That keeps the ranking up to date and protects it against spam, vote rings and other tactics. If we change something, we announce it here and in the newsletter before the next launch month starts. Scores of months that are already running are never changed.
