Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hype?

Hype is an all-in-one, verticalized SaaS platform giving entrepreneurs the tools and insights to turn their social media audience into a business. Founded in 2016, the company is supporting the next generation of audience-driven marketing and commerce through its full suite of products and tools.

How does Hype work?

With Hype, anyone can build their own link-in-bio website in minutes. Every Hype Page includes free email and phone number capture to help creators build an off-platform contact list of their biggest fans on social media. With Hype's new App Marketplace, creators can discover tools that turn Hype into a hub for their growing business, from traffic and engagement analytics to text messaging and revenue solutions, such as a tip jar or even a subscription paywall system for their newsletter or blog. The App Marketplace features numerous integrations with other software platforms, alongside four apps created by Hype: Monetization, Marketing Pro, Website Pro and Messages.

What is Hype's Monetization app?

With the Monetization app, entrepreneurs can connect their own Stripe account to easily create custom membership plans and virtual donation boxes, with proceeds and earnings deposited directly into their bank account. At this time, Hype is connected exclusively with Stripe, so creators will be able to easily create their account through Hype if they do not already have a Stripe account. If users already have a Stripe account, they’ll be able to directly link it through their Hype login.

What is Hype's Design Pro app?

Design Pro enables entrepreneurs to create multiple Hype Pages instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all link-in-bio page. With Design Pro, small businesses can tailor their link-in-bio page on each social media platform to their respective audience and accurately track where new subscribers are coming from.

What is Hype's Website Pro app?

Website Pro allows small businesses to add Hype to any custom website to show subscription popups, configure content paywalls and get advanced analytics on their traffic and content engagement. It’s free to start using Website Pro, with fees increasing over time based on the number of contacts in the creator’s Hype's CRM.

What is Hype's Messages app?

Hype's new-and-improved Messages app allows content curators to communicate directly with their followers at scale in their most-used communication channel: text messaging. Every Hype user is eligible for 500 free messaging credits per month (enough for a short text message to reach more than 60 recipients), and paid plans for additional credits start at just $9/month.

How much does Hype cost?

It’s free to sign up and create a Hype Page. Creators can then further customize their Hype experience with more tools and services in the App Marketplace that fit their budget.
