Whop pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives
Whop (whop.com) is a digital product store. No monthly fee: Whop takes 2.7% + $0.30 per successful domestic card payment, with optional add-ons and custom rates for high-volume sellers.. Free plan: Standard Pricing has no setup or monthly charge; you pay only 2.7% + $0.30 per successful domestic card payment..
What Whop costs
- $1k/mo sales: free (No setup or monthly charge. Card processing at the standard 2.7% + $0.30 is excluded as the platform's own standard card rate: $1,000 x 2.7% + 50 x $0.30 = $42, which is below the $44 all-in allowance, so $0 under either reading. Optional add-ons (Orchestration 0.8%, Billing 0.5%, Tax 2%) are off by default and not counted.)
- $10k/mo sales: free (No setup or monthly charge. $10,000 x 2.7% + 400 x $0.30 = $390, below the $410 all-in allowance, so $0 under either reading. The page shows no volume cap on Standard Pricing; Custom Pricing has no figures and is not needed to cover this volume.)
Plan compared: Standard Pricing on domestic card payments, no optional add-ons. Monthly USD on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for a defined download business, including the platform's own transaction fees at that volume; standard card processing (about 2.9% + $0.30) is excluded and all-in merchant-of-record fees are counted net of that allowance. The headline is $1,000 a month in sales from 50 orders of a $20 download; we also compare $10,000 a month from 400 orders of a $25 download.

Pricing page: whop.com/network/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. The catalog URL whop.com/pricing returned an unrelated creator page, so the official pricing page is whop.com/network/pricing/. It lists payment and payout fees only and shows no product, storage, sales-cap or file-delivery terms, so the $0 assumes Standard Pricing covers the scenario; no dated price change was sourced, so changes is empty.
