Freehold / Alternatives / Whop
Whop is rented: they set the price, the rules and what you can change. Freehold builds payments and memberships, memberships and plans and the rest of your business as your own platform, with your own app, for one flat price from $1,900.
| Whop | Freehold | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | A monthly subscription (see their own pricing page) | One price, from $1,900. No monthly platform fee. |
| Cut of your sales | Depends on the plan | None. Only Stripe's card fee. |
| Whose accounts | Theirs | Yours: your Stripe, your Cloudflare, your domain |
| Your own app | Their app or their website | Your name and icon on members' phones, with push alerts |
| Who can change the rules | Whop | You |
If you want to own your platform instead of renting it, yes. Freehold builds payments and memberships, memberships and plans and more as one platform on your own accounts, for one price. Whop is a subscription you keep paying for as long as you use it.
The Pro plan includes moving you over; on other plans it's an add-on. What can be moved depends on what Whop lets you export.
