PopHop helps creators and course builders go beyond passive followers. By turning their audience into a thriving, paywalled community. Built for simplicity and speed, PopHop lets you launch a gated community in minutes. No tech skills needed.
Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Tim, a creator who’s run multiple paid and free communities.
Every time I tried to monetize them, I hit friction. Payment flows felt clunky, tools didn’t talk to each other, and members had no reason to engage beyond just chatting.
So we built PopHop! A simple platform to:
Create a gated, branded community in minutes
Allow both you and your members to earn
Make payments native to the community (no hacks, no duct-taped solutions)
Focus on simplicity: no coding, no complex setups
You can use PopHop for:
Paid courses & communities
Mastermind groups
Member-only spaces for your audience
Peer-led mentorship hubs
We’re already working with 16 creators and have 900+ waitlist signups.
Today’s launch is an invite to join early. And help shape where we go next.
👇 Drop your thoughts, questions, or honest feedback. I’ll be here all day.
— Tim (Founder/CEO)

@thilina_guruge Hey! Congrats on going live, upvoted, we launched yesterday as well and your feedback would help. Love the product by the way.
Making payments native to the community is such a game changer—no more hacky workarounds or losing folks to clunky flows, fr. This is realy smart, Tim!
@cruise_chen I was struggling with this a lot. I am a community builder myself, so that is why we wanted to make payments native to the platform. Thank you so much for the comment.
@florianbersier We do not have that feature yet, but in our next update you will be able to use your own domain names.

What about those who have using free tech giants products for the same, building courses and selling through Google, Meta and other tech giants products and building communities by their subsidiaries without even paying any amount for the services.
@ajay27324 You mean like building a follower base on social media and selling courses, right? You still have to use some sort of tool to host content, correct? We have options to maintain communities and build for free. People often use Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, and similar platforms to run their communities, but we are a unified solution — one tool for everything you need. So if someone needs a unified solution without the hassle of managing a community across multiple platforms, we are the best choice.
Whoa, turning an audience into an actual economy? That’s wild—I’ve always struggled to monetize my community. Does PopHop work for small creators too, or mostly big brands?
@joey_zhu_seopage_ai This works for any type of creator. All creators are welcome, no matter how many followers you have. You can start and grow. Thank you for your support.

Looks very interesting. Congrats!
Do you support CNAME yet, i.e., a way to direct our users to an URL like community.mydomain.com ?
