MakeTheBoard is for anyone running a competition, tracking progress, or motivating a group. Teachers use it for classroom points and reading challenges. Sales teams display it on the office TV to track quotas and contests. Fundraisers use it for donor leaderboards and thermometers. Coaches, event organizers, trivia hosts, esports tournaments, and gym owners run live scoreboards on it. If you have a number that goes up and you want people to see it in real time, it works.
An online leaderboard maker is a tool that lets you create a live ranking display anyone can view through a web link, with no installs or accounts. You add participants, update scores, and the rankings auto-sort and update on every connected screen — phone, laptop, projector, or TV — within milliseconds. MakeTheBoard is a free online leaderboard maker that also supports scoreboards, goal trackers, and fundraising thermometers.
Spreadsheets work for tracking numbers privately, but they aren't built for sharing. MakeTheBoard renders rankings as a TV-ready display with podium gradients, medal badges, score-flash animations, and live row-reorder when scores change. You share one link and everyone sees the same view in real time. Participants can update their own scores from their phone if you allow it. Spreadsheets need someone to refresh, format, and broadcast — MakeTheBoard handles all of that automatically.
Yes. Every board has a unique embed code you can paste into any website, blog post, WordPress page, GoFundMe campaign, or Learning Management System. The embedded leaderboard updates in real time the same as the public link, and you can resize it to fit your layout.
Click “Create Your Leaderboard” on the homepage, give your board a name, and pick the type — leaderboard, scoreboard, goal tracker, or thermometer. Add participants by typing names or sharing a signup link. Use the score buttons to update points; everyone watching sees the change instantly. The whole flow takes under a minute and works without an account on the free plan.
Yes — boards are designed first for big screens. Open the public link in any browser on your TV, projector, or office display and full-screen it. The layout scales up automatically, the typography stays legible at TV viewing distances, and tabular-num scores keep digits aligned even when totals climb. You can also add the link as an OBS Browser Source for livestreams.
Yes, with a signup link. Share it with your team and each person can register, log into their own row, and add scores from their phone. Every update appears on all viewing screens within milliseconds — including the office TV. As the board owner you stay in control: you can edit, lock, or reset any participant’s row at any time.
Anything with a number that goes up. Common uses: sales contests (revenue, deals closed, calls booked), classroom points and reading challenges, fundraising donations and team totals, fitness step challenges, sports game scoring, trivia and quiz nights, hackathon judging, gamification programs, OKR progress, and customer support metrics. The free plan lets you try it on any of these before committing.
Yes. The free plan lets you create up to 2 boards with 10 participants each, with real-time updates, public sharing, and TV display — no credit card required and no time limit.
