TierMaker

Overview

TierMaker is a tier-list maker for ranking items across topics, with a large library of templates and tools for publishing lists and collecting votes. It suits people who want to build on popular templates or make visual lists on a phone. The free website covers core list-making, while the Pro plans add app features and ad-free use at monthly, annual, or one-time prices.

Key features

TierMaker says its library contains millions of tier-list templates, and users can create reusable templates for others. Lists support custom tier labels, images, public publishing, and voting. Templates can contain up to 3,000 images, though uploads are capped at 500 images and 50 MB per batch. JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP are supported. The high template ceiling suits image-heavy rankings, but very large collections need to be uploaded in batches.

Logged-in users can make a one-off list from photos uploaded in a browser and download the result. That list cannot be saved to a profile or shared by URL for others to make their own version, so this is not a good fit for private projects that need to persist or be reused.

The mobile app adds quick-vote formats, custom list sizing, saved templates, text-to-image, and higher-resolution downloads without the TierMaker logo. Those features make the app more capable than the free website, but require Pro.

Creators can register with Twitter or Google. TierMaker says it moderates all content and prohibits NSFW material; its template guide encourages broadly useful creations, suggesting creators consider whether 100 or more people might want to use a template. Support requests go to TierMaker by email.

The privacy policy says TierMaker collects information users provide, including contact details, credentials, and social-media login data, and may use service providers for hosting, payments, and customer service. It does not require keeping personal information for more than six months after account termination, except where longer retention is required or permitted by law.

Pricing

The free website plan is enough for making and publishing lists without the app extras. Pro is the choice for regular mobile users who want saved templates, quick voting, or clean, higher-quality downloads. The annual and lifetime options cost less than paying the monthly price over those spans, while monthly suits a shorter commitment.

Platforms

TierMaker is available on the web, Android, iOS, and macOS. The mobile app features are offered on Android and Apple devices; the free website plan covers desktop and mobile browsers.

Who it's for

TierMaker is strongest for people making public, reusable rankings from existing templates, and for mobile users willing to pay for saved templates and advanced list-making. It is less suitable for private browser-photo lists that need to be saved or shared for others to edit.

Pros and cons

• Pros: A library of millions of templates and reusable template creation help users start from existing material or contribute lists others can use.
• Pros: The 3,000-image template ceiling and support for four common image formats make the service suitable for visual rankings.
• Pros: Pro is offered monthly, annually, or as a one-time purchase, with the same app and ad-free features across those plans.
• Cons: Browser-uploaded photo lists are single-use: users can download them but cannot save them to a profile or share a URL for others to make a copy.
• Cons: Saved templates, quick voting, text-to-image, and watermark-free higher-resolution downloads require Pro rather than the free website plan.

Verdict

Look elsewhere if browser-uploaded photo lists must be saved or shared for others to reuse, or if you want those app features without a paid plan.
