Try Sellisy — $19/moSee Pricing

Ko-fi started as a tip jar and added a shop. Sellisy is built shop-first: real storefront templates, customer portal, upsells, PLR library, and software-license support — features Ko-fi only partially covers.

// The Verdict

Ko-fi is perfect for casual tips and small shops. Sellisy is for treating digital products like a real business.

// Why Sellisy wins for most creators

  • ✦A real storefront, not just a tip page with a shop tab.
  • ✦Designer-grade templates and your own custom domain.
  • ✦Upsells, customer portal, license keys, multi-store — none of which Ko-fi has.

// When Ko-fi is the right call

  • ○You're primarily collecting tips or commission deposits from fans.
  • ○You want zero monthly cost and don't mind Ko-fi branding on your page.

// Common questions

FAQ

Can I accept tips on Sellisy?+

Sellisy supports pay-what-you-want pricing on products, but it's not a tip-jar replacement. Ko-fi is still better for that specific use case.

Is my Ko-fi audience portable?+

Your customer list and product files are yours — you can migrate to Sellisy and keep selling without losing access to past buyers.
