About

CliffPop

Features
Read full description

CliffPop is short, sharp, scroll-stopping drama. Cliffhangers that hit. Stories that branch. Episodes that fit your commute. Tap to start. Swipe to the next scene. Tokens unlock episodes — no subscription, no ads, no commitment. Your first episode of every series is always free. Watch the stories that grab you, skip the ones that don't. WHAT'S INSIDE • Vertical, mobile-first stories shot for portrait. No rotating, no fuss. • Episodes you can finish in the time it takes to brew a coffee. • A growing catalogue of original drama, romance, suspense, and slice-of-life from independent creators around the world. • Subtitles in currently in English, German, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese on every episode. CHOOSE YOUR PATH Some series let you decide what happens next. Reach a decision point, pick your path, and the story responds. Come back later, take a different turn, and watch a new ending unfold. We call these "Twists" — handcrafted by the creator, not the algorithm. TOKENS, NOT SUBSCRIPTIONS Top up when you want, spend when you watch. Bigger packs cost less per token. Get a welcome bonus the first time you sign in, plus a small daily bonus just for stopping by. Tokens never expire. Episodes you've unlocked stay yours. INDEPENDENT CREATORS CliffPop isn't a studio. It's a distribution platform for creators making vertical drama themselves. Creators keep ownership of their work, set their own genres and tags, and earn a large share of every unlock. They're free to publish elsewhere too — we're non-exclusive on purpose. ONE ACCOUNT, EVERYWHERE Sign in once. Pick up where you left off, keep your watch history, save the series you love. Pay for credits once, watch wherever. Made in Malta by Just Some Coding Ltd. Questions, problems, or pitches: cliffpop.com
