> Gumroad alternatives for sellers who want their own branded checkout: what each costs (checked 2026-10-09) and what migrating involves. Source: https://plandalf.com/alternatives/gumroad creator-storefront-and-marketplace # Gumroad alternatives Stay on Gumroad if you want it to handle sales tax and you sell few, small items. Look at Plandalf if your sales are large enough that a percentage fee costs more than a flat $49 a month, and you want to design the checkout yourself and keep your own Stripe or PayPal account. ## When a percentage fee costs more than $49 [Gumroad](https://plandalf.com/alternatives/gumroad)'s pricing page lists 10% + $0.50 per direct sale and no monthly fee; its fee help article may describe lower rates at high monthly volume, which these figures do not account for. Plandalf is $49 a month with no percentage of sales. On the plan and platform fee alone, the two cost the same when [Gumroad](https://plandalf.com/alternatives/gumroad)'s fee reaches $49. At an average sale of $10 that is about 33 sales a month ($330 in sales). At $30 it is 14 sales ($420). At $100 it is 5 sales ($500). Below that, [Gumroad](https://plandalf.com/alternatives/gumroad) costs less on these lines; above it, the flat fee costs less. The comparison covers platform fees at the headline rate only. It leaves out [payment](https://plandalf.com/platforms/payment) processing and any volume discount, so check [Gumroad](https://plandalf.com/alternatives/gumroad)'s fee help article against your own numbers (see the table below). ## Who should stay on Gumroad Stay if you sell a handful of items a month, if the 10% + $0.50 is below $49 for you, or if you want the platform to handle sales [tax](https://plandalf.com/platforms/tax). [Gumroad](https://plandalf.com/alternatives/gumroad)'s pricing page says it became merchant of record on 2025-01-01 and handles sales [tax](https://plandalf.com/platforms/tax) collection and remittance worldwide. Plandalf does not do this. It connects to your own [Stripe](https://plandalf.com/platforms/stripe) or [PayPal](https://plandalf.com/platforms/paypal) account, those providers process the [payments](https://plandalf.com/platforms/payment), and [tax](https://plandalf.com/platforms/tax) stays your responsibility or your [tax](https://plandalf.com/platforms/tax) tool's. If that matters more to you than the fee, stay. ## Who should move to Plandalf Move if your monthly sales are past the break-even above, or if you want a [checkout](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts/hosted-checkout) you design to match your brand with your own [Stripe](https://plandalf.com/platforms/stripe) or [PayPal](https://plandalf.com/platforms/paypal) account behind it. [Gumroad](https://plandalf.com/alternatives/gumroad) also lets you embed its [payment](https://plandalf.com/platforms/payment) platform on your site and use a custom domain, so where the [checkout](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts/hosted-checkout) appears is not the reason to move. [Plandalf Offers](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts) gives you [upsells](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts/upsells), [order bumps](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts/order-bumps), [coupons](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts/coupons), subscription and [payment](https://plandalf.com/platforms/payment)\-plan [prices](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts/payment-options) on one plan, and [Timers](https://plandalf.com/products/promos) add [deadlines](https://plandalf.com/products/promos) that stay in step with the [checkout](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts/hosted-checkout), [coupon](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts/coupons) and email. [Purchase automations](https://plandalf.com/products/automations/purchase-automations) can send the order to your email tool, [CRM](https://plandalf.com/platforms/crm) or your own [API](https://plandalf.com/products/automations/webhooks). Plandalf is not a storefront marketplace, so it will not send you buyers the way Discover does. ## What each costs, checked 2026-10-09 [Gumroad](https://plandalf.com/alternatives/gumroad) lists 10% + $0.50 per direct sale, 30% on sales through Discover, and no monthly fee. Plandalf is $49 a month or $490 a year (two months free), one plan, with Plandalf taking 0% of your sales. With Plandalf, [Stripe](https://plandalf.com/platforms/stripe) or [PayPal](https://plandalf.com/platforms/paypal) charge their own processing fees on top. [Gumroad](https://plandalf.com/alternatives/gumroad)'s pricing page does not itemise processing, and its fee help article may add card processing charges or volume discounts, so compare the totals you would pay on your own sales rather than the headline rates. Prices checked on 2026-10-09. Decision point Plandalf Gumroad Plan price $49/month, or $490/year No monthly fee listed Fee on direct sales 0%.

Where the checkout lives Branded checkout, hosted or embedded on your own site. Gumroad storefront and product pages, or its payment platform embedded on your own site with a custom domain, per its features page. Memberships, subscriptions and license keys Subscription prices and payment plans. License keys and file hosting are not offered. Memberships, subscriptions and license keys listed on its features page. ## What migrating involves Moving a [checkout](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts/hosted-checkout) is a rebuild of the offer, not an export. You recreate each product and price, rebuild the [checkout](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts/hosted-checkout) in Plandalf ([templates](https://plandalf.com/docs/product-guides/checkouts/templates) cover the common layouts, and the team will build one from a link you send), repoint your [buy buttons](https://plandalf.com/docs/product-guides/checkouts/buy-buttons) or links, and wire the purchase events you rely on to your email and [fulfilment](https://plandalf.com/products/automations) tools. [Gumroad](https://plandalf.com/alternatives/gumroad)'s features page says you can export your customers and followers, so do that first. Subscriptions are the part to plan first, because a subscription stays with the processor holding the customer's card. Plandalf does not host files or issue license keys, so keep delivery in the tool that does it today. Run both [checkouts](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts) side by side on one product, then cancel once the new flow has taken real orders. ## Gumroad plans as listed - Direct sales, 10% + $0.50 per transaction.
