Gumroad is the OG creator marketplace — easy to start, but you give up roughly 10% of every sale and your storefront lives on a gumroad.com URL. Sellisy is the opposite trade: a flat monthly plan from $9, your own brand, and you keep the full price tag.
// The Verdict
If you sell more than ~$90/mo, Sellisy's flat $9 plan pays for itself versus Gumroad's 10% cut.

// Why Sellisy wins for most creators
✦10% of every sale adds up fast — at $1k/mo that's $100 to Gumroad. Sellisy is $9 flat.
✦Your storefront lives on your own domain with your own brand, not gumroad.com/you.
✦You get the customer email + Stripe payout directly, not as a Gumroad payout cycle.
✦Built-in PLR library, AI tools, and multi-store — Gumroad has none of these.
// When Gumroad is the right call
○You sell less than $90/mo and want zero fixed cost.
○You rely heavily on the Gumroad Discover marketplace for new buyers.
○You rely heavily on Gumroad's discovery marketplace (Gumroad Discover) for new buyers.

FAQ

Yes — Sellisy has a Gumroad importer that pulls your products, descriptions, prices, and files in one click.
Will I lose my Gumroad audience if I switch?+

Is Sellisy actually cheaper than Gumroad?+
If you do more than ~$90 in monthly sales, Sellisy's $9 Starter beats Gumroad's 10% cut. The bigger you get, the wider the gap.
