This category against the winning shape

The split is measured across every product we read on the platform — 1,813 of them in 147 categories, so the top decile is 182 listings, not a handful. Every "measured" figure on this page uses that same set of 1,813. The four figures above are Whop's own totals for all 1,077 listings here; every other number on this page is measured from the 23 products we read in local business.

What separates the winners, platform-wide

  • 53% vs 28% — the top 182 have an X account. In local business: 9%.
  • 38% vs 29% — the top 182 have a YouTube channel upstream. In local business: 30%.
Where local business is furthest from the winning shape. an X account — 9% here against 53% among the platform's largest. That is the gap a new entrant can close on purpose.
What does not separate them anywhere. a Telegram group (3% vs 0%); a Discord (2% vs 2%). Operators assume these matter. Across 1,813 products they do not.
Two member counts. The number on a Whop listing is the company's — its free tier, shared by every product it sells (49% of the listings we read share theirs with a sibling), so the rows below are hubs, counted once, with the number of products each lists. The paid room column is the product page's own count for the hub's largest paid room: across the hubs read so far the median paid room is under 1% of the hub number. — means the hub's pages are not read yet; hidden means the seller hides it.
