AI software subscription on Whop
Sell access to an AI product and connect paid status to software access.
How this could work for your business
Whop can handle checkout and subscriptions while your application supplies the AI functionality. A paid membership can be an input to your access system, but usage quotas, inference spending and tenant isolation still need application logic. This is useful when you want to build the product without also rebuilding the payment layer.
