What is Whop the app?

Two things share the name. There is the Whop mobile app, which is how buyers open the communities they have paid for, and there are the apps you install inside a community to add features. This page is about the second kind.

How much does it cost to use the Whop app?

Downloading it and browsing costs nothing. Some communities inside it are free and some are paid. Sellers pay a cut of each sale plus any app fee. Whop’s fee documentation at docs.whop.com/fees lists the current rates.

Does Whop make you money?

Only if you have something to sell and people who want it. Whop supplies the checkout, the access control and the apps. It does not supply an audience.

What is the difference between an app and an experience?

An app is the tool. An experience is one installed copy of it inside your community. Install the same app twice and you get two experiences with separate settings.

Can I install the same app twice?

Yes. Each install is separate, so you can run two stores or two courses side by side with different content in each.

Do my members need to install anything?

No. Apps live inside your community page. Members just see a new tab.

What is a Whop app?

Updated 17 September 2026

An app is a feature you bolt on

A Whop app is one feature you add to a community: a chat room, a course, a forum, a leaderboard, a store. A community starts empty, and apps are the parts that fill it. You install one in a couple of clicks and it shows up as a tab your members can open.

You can install several, and you can remove one without losing the rest. Each app does a single job and stays out of the way of the others.

Where apps come from

Some are built by Whop itself. Others are built by outside developers and listed in the Whop app store, the same way a phone app store works.

Installing takes a couple of clicks. You pick the community you want it in, confirm, and it is there.

What apps cost

Many are free. Others charge the community owner a monthly fee, or take a small share of the sales they handle.

Whop shows you the price before you confirm the install, so you are never charged for something you did not agree to.

An example

MKKT is a Whop app for selling downloadable files. Install it and your community gets a store: you add an ebook, a PDF or a template, set a price, and members buy it without leaving the community.

That is the general shape. Each app does one job and stays out of the way of the others.
