TierBuddy

What TierBuddy is

TierBuddy is a browser-based tool for making and sharing visual tier lists. Add image or text items, arrange them in tiers, and customize tier labels, colors and order. A shared list can serve as a starting point for other people to make their own version with the same items. Live voting collects submitted rankings into a community result. Lists have shareable links with rich previews on social platforms, and lists or votes can be embedded as oEmbed cards or an iframe. It works in browsers on phones, tablets and desktops, with touch-optimized drag and drop. No signup is needed to create and share lists; a free account adds the ability to save and edit lists later, upvote lists and collect rankings. The Free plan is listed as free forever, with unlimited lists and items and no ads. The FAQ calls TierBuddy fully free with no paywalls, while the homepage also mentions optional premium plans starting at $5/mo.
