Subscription platform
The subscription platform that keeps subscribers engaged
Subscriptions are won at the paywall and lost in the weeks after. tchop™ adds the engagement layer around your billing stack: branded apps, feeds, push, and community that give subscribers a daily reason to stay. AI agents help, your team decides.

Challenges
Why most subscriptions churn quietly
The paywall converts, then nothing builds the habit. Subscribers who stop opening your product cancel months later, and billing data is the last place you see it coming.

No daily habit
Without feeds and push notifications, subscribers forget the product they pay for.
Edition thinking
An ePaper replica of the print product gives digital subscribers no reason to return between editions.
Engagement blind spot
Billing tools see payments, not behaviour. Churn risk stays invisible until the cancellation.

Subscription Platform FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a subscription platform?
A subscription platform is the software layer that makes subscriptions worth keeping: branded apps, feeds, push notifications, and community that give subscribers a daily reason to come back. Billing processes the payment; the platform creates the habit that prevents churn.

No. tchop is the engagement layer, not a billing system. It integrates with billing providers and paywalls such as Stripe and your existing subscription stack, so payments stay where they are and engagement gets a real home.
How does a subscription platform reduce churn?
Churn follows disengagement. Daily habit loops, personalised feeds, push notifications, and community give subscribers reasons to return, and AI agents re-engage subscribers when they go quiet.
