How much does it cost to get hot?
There is no subscription and no monthly plan. You top up a wallet, and you spend from it when you list or boost. This page explains every cost you can hit.
The cost of a listing
Listing is not free. Each board has a minimum boost that you pay when you submit, which is what puts your listing into the ranking rather than into a directory nobody reads.
Minimums differ per board because demand differs per board. The exact amount for a category is always shown on that board before you pay.
The cost of climbing
To climb you add Heat. There is no fixed price for position one — it depends on how much Heat the current leader holds and how long their boost has left to run.
Because boosts expire, holding the top spot is an ongoing decision rather than a one-time purchase.
Wallets and top-ups
All payments come from your BeHot.Now wallet, never directly from a card at checkout. You top up once and then everything on the platform — listings, boosts, Marketplace orders — draws from that balance.
Reward Heat earned through referrals can be spent on boosts and Marketplace orders. Full pricing detail lives in the Terms of Service.
hotc.questions
- Is there a subscription?
- No. You only pay for what you list and boost.
- What is the minimum top-up?
- Top-ups start small and are billed in AED. The exact minimum and the current bonus are shown in the top-up panel.
- Do I pay by card when I list?
- No. You pay from your wallet. If your balance is short, the flow takes you to top up and then finishes the listing automatically.
- Can I get a refund on a boost?
- Boosts are consumed as they run. EU consumers can read the right of withdrawal page for their statutory rights.
