WIP

Paid only community

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

Requirements

Paid membership is required to add a project — $199/year (advertised as 5 months free vs monthly) or $29/month, credit card only
Project submission lives in account settings (/settings/projects/new) — only reachable after paid signup
WIP is a build-in-public accountability community — projects gain visibility through daily todos/streaks, not a one-shot listing
Membership is described as curated — 'Members are invited by existing members' on the public blurb, though the join page sells directly

Email, username (becomes wip.co/@handle), password
Credit card for $199/yr or $29/mo
Project name, URL, icon and topic tags (Developers, AI, Marketing, etc.)
A plan to post todos/updates — the project's visibility on WIP is driven by your activity streak, not the listing alone

Open https://wip.co/join, create account (email + username + password), complete checkout
Go to /settings/projects/new ('Add your Project') and fill project details with topic tags
Post daily todos/progress — each update feeds the project page and community feed
Project appears under /projects and its topic tag pages; 'Recently launched' surfaces new projects

This is a membership community, not a directory drop — a listing without activity gets little exposure
No free tier and no lifetime membership ('One price for everyone, worldwide' — no PPP discounts)
Cancel-anytime monthly vs annual tradeoff; paying is the only entry route
The community value (feedback, streaks) requires ongoing participation — budget time, not just money

Project has a public page on wip.co linked from your @handle profile and appears under /projects and topic tag pages
