The best Million Dollar Homepage alternatives in 2026 are Square Town ($1 favicon squares with evictions and a live 3D wall), The Forever Wall ($1 per pixel, forever), Million Squares Project ($1 per square), Link for a Dollar ($1 per square), SaaSBoard (free logo tile), Milliboard (pay any amount to rank) and six more below. All prices are as of August 2026.

## Why you can't buy a spot on the Million Dollar Homepage

The Million Dollar Homepage (milliondollarhomepage.com) launched in 2005 and sold pixels at $1 each in 10×10 blocks, so the minimum buy was $100. It sold out in five months for $1.04 million; the last 1,000 pixels went at auction for $38,100. It has been a frozen archive ever since — nothing is for sale, nothing changes, and roughly 40 % of its links are dead as of August 2026. It was made by Alex Tew, then a student, which is part of why it charmed people (general knowledge, not from our snapshot).

So "alternatives" means two things: sites that copy the mechanic (buy a spot on a shared wall, link out) and sites that solve the same problem (be visible to a niche audience for very little money) differently. Our list has both. We built one of them, Square Town, and we say so where it matters. For a fuller history see [The Million Dollar Homepage, 21 years later](/blog/million-dollar-homepage-21-years-later); for every clone we could find, see [the big list of clones](/blog/million-dollar-homepage-clones-list).

## The list

1. **[Square Town](/) — $1 favicon squares on a live 3D wall.** Square Town (square.pov.town) is a favicon wall: paste a URL, Square Town fetches the favicon, you click an empty cell, you pay $1 through Stripe. No accounts, no uploads, every square is 1×1. What makes it different from a static clone is the game loop: anyone can evict you by paying double what you paid; the 4×4 centre is a single Throne (intro price $100, doubling every eviction); icons nobody has kissed for 90 days fade to grayscale until someone kisses them (free); only the central 16×16 is live at launch and rings unlock each time the area is 70 % full, up to 1,048,576 squares. Everything is pushed live over WebSockets, and tilting the wall shows each favicon as a tower whose height is its click count. **Pros:** cheapest possible entry, zero design work, something to come back for, per-square view/click/kiss counts on your deed ($5 one-time for per-day charts). **Cons:** you can be evicted (for double); no accounts means losing your deed URL loses your proof; it launched in August 2026, so it's young; a favicon is small, and if your site has none you land in the Hall of Clowns. Not an SEO product — clicks are redirects, not link equity. Details on [pricing](/pricing).

2. **[The Forever Wall](https://theforeverwall.com) — the straight "$1 a pixel, forever" clone.** As of August 2026 it sells one pixel for $1 on a 1,000,000-pixel wall; you claim, customise and keep it permanently. **Pros:** the exact MDH mental model with the original price and no minimum block, and it's live and active. **Cons:** you upload an image and buy pixels, so a legible logo costs more than $1; no eviction, decay, live feed or 3D — nothing changes once you've bought. Compare directly in [Square Town vs The Forever Wall](/vs/the-forever-wall).

3. **[Million Squares Project](https://millionsquaresproject.com) — a 1000×1000 square grid at $1 a square.** Stripe checkout, drag-select, image or GIF per block, "forever", plus a Hall of Founders. It is tied to a $MSP memecoin. **Pros:** nearly identical premise to Square Town's price point with GIF support and drag-select for bigger blocks. **Cons:** 17 of 1,000,000 squares sold as of August 2026, so the wall is empty; static ownership; the memecoin angle will put some site owners off.

4. **[Link for a Dollar](https://linkforadollar.com/) — permanent $1 squares with categories.** $1 per square, $4 for 2×2, $10 for 10 squares, $25 for 5×5; you place a logo or initials, a brand name and a link on a 1,000,000-square public grid with category browsing, a click-count leaderboard and email-domain verification. **Pros:** cheap, permanent, verified, and the click leaderboard is a nice touch. **Cons:** 5 of 1,000,000 claimed as of August 2026 — near-empty; no favicon auto-fetch; nothing ever moves. See [Square Town vs Link for a Dollar](/vs/link-for-a-dollar).

5. **[SaaSBoard](https://saasboard.app) — the free one.** A 100×100 zoomable canvas where a 1×1 logo tile is free; bigger blocks cost $10 per tile per month or $100 per tile per year via Stripe. You drag to pick position and size, upload a logo, add a description and link. About 111 listings as of August 2026. **Pros:** free is free, and it's the closest product analogue to a favicon wall for SaaS. **Cons:** subscription upsell for anything bigger than 1×1; uploaded logo, not favicon; no eviction, throne, decay or 3D. See [Square Town vs SaaSBoard](/vs/saasboard).

6. **[Milliboard](https://www.milliboard.com) — pay-to-rank, not pay-to-place.** Pay any amount; the highest single payment holds #1 until someone outbids it by a cent; there's a Daily Throne and a top-3 hall of fame; the board freezes forever at $1,337,690 in total payments. **Pros:** the purest competitive loop on this list, and any budget gets you on it. **Cons:** it's a ranked list, not a spatial wall — no square you can point at, no favicons, no decay, and it ends on purpose. See [Square Town vs Milliboard](/vs/milliboard).

7. **The Logo Wall — $5 logo sticker with a profile page.** $5 one-time ($10 featured) gets a logo, a profile page and (their pitch) a dofollow backlink, with categories and "most viewed / most loved" rankings; ~107 logos as of August 2026. **Pros:** cheap, permanent, and you get a page of your own. **Cons:** a categorised list without positional scarcity, eviction or decay; the SEO pitch is the product, so treat it as a directory listing rather than a wall.

8. **[The SaaS Wall](https://www.thesaaswall.com) — draw your own pixel logo, from 5 cents a block.** 100-pixel blocks in price bands that start at $0.05 per block and rise towards $1 per block as the wall fills; a built-in editor for pixel-art logos; SaaS products only; 123 blocks as of August 2026. **Pros:** possibly the cheapest paid entry anywhere, and the hand-drawn logos give it character. **Cons:** you have to draw the logo; permanent, no eviction, SaaS-only.

9. **[Project Pixel](https://projectpixel.art) — classic canvas with a live leaderboard.** $1 per pixel, drag-select, no account needed, image or pixel art plus link per block, on a 1,000,000-pixel canvas with a live leaderboard of the biggest owners; ~310 pixels sold as of August 2026. **Pros:** no-account checkout and a leaderboard to climb. **Cons:** a legible image needs many pixels; no eviction, decay or favicon auto-fetch.

10. **[The Pixel Orbit](https://thepixelorbit.com) — the whole canvas re-sorts around whoever paid most.** Pay-what-you-buy (a 5×5 is $2.50); the highest total payer holds the exact centre and everything else orbits outward by cumulative spend; you can be outbid; there's a leaderboard. **Pros:** the closest thing to Square Town's Throne, and position genuinely means something. **Cons:** position is by cumulative spend, not by choice — you can't pick a spot; no per-square eviction or decay.

11. **[3MPixel](https://3mpixel.com) — bigger, cheaper per pixel, marketplace-y.** $0.10 per pixel with a 10×10 minimum ($10) on a 2000×1500 canvas, with a resale marketplace, reservations and a leaderboard. **Pros:** three million pixels and a resale angle if you think spots will appreciate. **Cons:** 0 sold as of August 2026; upload-an-image, no favicon, no game loop. See [Square Town vs 3MPixel](/vs/3mpixel).

12. **[Own the Void](https://ownthevoid.com) — $1 cells on a 1,000,000 × 1,000,000 grid.** $1 per cell, one-time via Stripe, for a coloured cell with up to 32 characters of text and an optional link, on an infinite grid of a trillion cells. **Pros:** same $1 price and no minimum; you can write words. **Cons:** infinite means no scarcity and no location worth fighting over; text rather than a logo; no eviction or decay. See [Square Town vs Own the Void](/vs/own-the-void).

## Also considered

Not on the list because they're crypto-only, art-only or nearly identical to something above (all as of August 2026): [myPixelit](https://mypixelit.com) ($1/pixel, min 5, real-time paint canvas, 56 of 1M sold), [TileWorld](https://tileworld.vercel.app) ($0.99 per tile on a world map), [InternetTiles](https://internettiles.com) ($2/tile, rising, 3,140 of 40,000 claimed), [The Million Dollar Homepage 2](https://www.themilliondollarhomepage2.com) (zone pricing $1–$2/px, 0 sold), [Tocka](https://tocka.rocks) (painted pixels; takeovers raise the price by 1¢), [earth.tattoo](https://earth.tattoo) (pixel art on a 3D globe, crypto only, outbid at $1/$2/$4/$8) and [One Million Pixels (.ai)](https://onemillionpixels.ai) ($1/pixel with a free tier, aimed at AI agents). The whole field, ranked, is in [Every pixel wall you can still buy a spot on](/blog/pixel-walls-ranked-2026).

## How to choose

- **You want the MDH feeling for a dollar:** The Forever Wall or Million Squares Project.
- **You want a spot that stays interesting:** Square Town (evictions, Throne, decay) or Milliboard (outbid wars). Both can take your spot away; that's the point.
- **You want free:** SaaSBoard's 1×1 tile.
- **You want a profile page and a directory listing:** The Logo Wall.
- **You want the centre:** The Pixel Orbit (cumulative spend) or Square Town's Throne ($100 intro, doubles per eviction).

None of these will send meaningful traffic on their own. Buy a spot because it's cheap, because you like the wall, and because a niche audience of makers browses it. Anyone promising ranking benefits from a pixel wall is selling something else. See also [Is buying pixels worth it in 2026?](/blog/is-buying-pixels-worth-it-2026).

## FAQ

### Is the Million Dollar Homepage still selling pixels?
No. It sold out in 2006 after five months, for $1.04 million, and has been a frozen archive since. Nothing on it is for sale, and roughly 40 % of its links were dead as of August 2026.

### What is the cheapest Million Dollar Homepage alternative?
SaaSBoard's 1×1 tile is free, and The SaaS Wall starts at $0.05 per block. Among $1 options, Square Town, The Forever Wall, Million Squares Project, Link for a Dollar, Project Pixel and Own the Void all sell a unit for $1 as of August 2026.

### Which alternative is most like the original?
The Forever Wall ($1 = 1 pixel, forever) and Million Squares Project ($1 per square on a 1000×1000 grid) copy the original most faithfully. Both are static: buy once, nothing changes.

### Do pixel walls help SEO?
Treat them as visibility, not link equity. Some walls advertise dofollow links (The Logo Wall, The Startup Board); Square Town does not — outbound clicks are redirects through `/go/:id` and are counted, not passed as PageRank.

### What does Square Town do that the Million Dollar Homepage didn't?
Square Town sells favicons instead of pixels (no design work), lets anyone evict a square for double, has one Throne in the centre that doubles per eviction, fades icons that go 90 days without a kiss, unlocks the wall in rings at 70 % fill, and pushes every event live. Ownership is a secret deed URL, no account.

### Can I lose a square I bought on Square Town?
Yes, if someone pays double what you paid. Your eviction is announced in the live feed, and the next evictor pays double their price. Un-kissed icons fade but stay owned.
