Tebex vs Whop Comparison 2026
Tebex takes one flat rate, 5 percent of what a game server's store sells, with no monthly cost and no variation by how a player pays. Whop also charges no monthly fee, but its cut moves with the payment method: 2.7 percent plus 30 cents on a card, up to 15 percent on instalment financing, plus $2.50 per payout and $15 per dispute. Below about thirteen dollars a sale, Tebex's flat rate is the cheaper one; above it, Whop's card rate usually wins, at least before payout and dispute fees are counted.

Tebex
Game server monetization at a flat five percent
Tebex sells ranks, cosmetics and subscriptions to the players on a game server, and handles the billing, renewals and plan changes that a community running its own payments ends up doing by hand. The entry tier has no monthly cost and takes a flat five percent instead, so a quiet month costs nothing. Store layouts are customisable and the checkout is theirs rather than a redirect somewhere else. Anybody outside game communities is the wrong audience, because everything here assumes a server and its players.
Our note
The flat 5 percent is the number to hold against alternatives, because it does not move with volume and most competitors in this space negotiate rather than publish. Work out what the paid tier costs in your own currency before upgrading, since the page quotes it in pounds and the exchange rate is doing part of the pricing.
Whop
Sell access to a community with no monthly fee
Whop sells memberships, courses, software and communities from a storefront that handles the checkout and the access control together, so a paying customer lands inside whatever they bought rather than in an email thread. There is no setup cost and no monthly cost; the money comes off each transaction. Rates differ by how the customer pays, with cards cheapest and instalment financing dearest. The marketplace side brings its own traffic, which is either the reason to be here or noise to ignore depending on what is being sold.
Why people weigh these two
- Whop instead of Tebex
- Whop sells access to a community with no monthly fee, the closest match for selling to players rather than customers.
- Tebex instead of Whop
- Tebex charges a flat five percent and nothing monthly, same no-monthly-fee shape as Whop, but built specifically for game servers rather than communities or courses.
Which one should you pick
Pick Tebex if the audience is players on a game server buying ranks or cosmetics, since nothing else here delivers to a player list or handles renewals the way it does. The flat 5 percent never moves, and a quiet month costs nothing, which is the whole appeal of a rate that does not depend on volume or payment method.
Pick Whop for memberships, courses or software sold to a general audience, where checkout and access need to work in one step. Push customers toward cards if you can: 2.7 percent plus 30 cents is the cheapest of its published rates, well under Tebex's flat 5 percent on most sales, but read the payout and dispute fees before assuming the headline rate is the whole cost.
Common questions
- Which one is cheaper?
- It depends on the sale size and payment method. Whop's card rate, 2.7 percent plus 30 cents, undercuts Tebex's flat 5 percent above roughly thirteen dollars a sale; below that, Tebex's flat rate is usually cheaper.
- Does Whop charge the same rate regardless of how a customer pays?
- No, it varies widely: 2.7 percent plus 30 cents on cards, 4 to 5 percent plus a dollar on other methods, and 15 percent on instalment financing. Tebex charges one flat 5 percent no matter how a player pays.
- Can Tebex sell a course or software the way Whop does?
- No, by its own description; everything assumes a game server, a player list and in-game delivery. Whop is built for memberships, courses, software and communities more broadly.
- Are there extra fees beyond the headline percentage on either one?
- Whop charges $2.50 per payout and $15 per dispute on top of its transaction rate. Tebex's stated 5 percent includes SSL and the integration, with no separate payout or dispute fee mentioned.
