Alternatives, ranked and sourced
One list per platform, built from figures quoted on that company's own pages. ByteSell is on every list and says so.
Gumroad alternatives
Gumroad takes 10% and 50 cents of every sale, at any volume. The money then sits in your Gumroad balance for seven days, and it will not pay out at all until that balance reaches $100.
Sellers who want no monthly commitment, tax settled for them, and a marketplace attached.
Payhip alternatives
Payhip’s free plan keeps 5% of every sale. Getting to nothing means the $99 Pro plan, and the $29 tier in the middle still keeps 2% of everything you sell.
Sellers who want sales tax handled and buyers paying through local processors.
Whop alternatives
Whop charges nothing monthly and everything per transaction. Its fee documentation lists thirteen transaction charges and five payout charges, including 2% whenever tax is collected and up to 5% plus a dollar to withdraw.
Community and membership sellers who want Whop’s own buyers browsing their listing.
Lemon Squeezy alternatives
Lemon Squeezy charges 5% and 50 cents on the total order value including tax, holds net sales for 13 days, and pays out on the 14th and 28th above a $50 threshold. Stripe acquired it in 2024.
Software sellers who want worldwide tax handled and a real license-key API.
Ko-fi alternatives
The 0% Ko-fi is known for applies to one-off tips, and only with Contributor mode switched off, which new creators now have on by default. Shop sales, memberships and commissions are 5%.
Creators who are mostly taking tips rather than selling files.
Patreon alternatives
Any Patreon page published after August 4, 2025 sits on the standard 10% plan, with Patreon’s payment fee and a per payout fee on top. The old 5% and 8% plans are closed for good.
Membership creators who want Patreon’s brand and discovery, and accept 10% plus Patreon’s own fees for it.
Etsy alternatives
A US digital sale on Etsy carries a 6.5% transaction fee and Etsy Payments at 3% + $0.25, over a $0.20 listing fee that renews every four months. Offsite Ads become permanent at 12% once a shop passes $10,000 in trailing-year sales.
Sellers who want Etsy’s built-in marketplace traffic and accept its stacked fees to get it.
Linktree alternatives
Linktree keeps 12% of every digital product sale on the free plan and 9% on the two tiers above it, deducted before the payout reaches you. Its 0% rate lives on the top Premium tier.
Creators who want a link-in-bio page first and a light store second, and will pay for Premium to reach 0%.
Podia alternatives
Podia’s entry plan costs $49 a month and takes 5% of every sale on top of it. The cut disappears at $99, and email contacts past the first hundred are billed separately again.
Course creators who want email marketing and a community in one place.
Sellfy alternatives
Sellfy charges nothing per sale until your plan’s annual revenue ceiling passes, after which every order carries 2% until the account moves up a tier.
Sellers below the plan’s annual revenue ceiling who want print-on-demand in the same store.
Stan Store alternatives
Stan Store takes 0% of every sale on both its $29 and $99 plans. Sellers still leave, usually over the missing free plan, the $99 feature gate, or a store that cannot be embedded anywhere else.
Coaches and social creators who want a mobile-first link-in-bio store at 0% for a flat monthly fee.
SellApp alternatives
SellApp charges 3% of every sale on the free Standard plan, invoiced at the start of the following month. The only route to 0% is the Advanced plan at $199.99 a month.
Sellers who want a huge gateway list and Slack or WhatsApp gating, and are fine with 3% until they scale.
SendOwl alternatives
SendOwl charges nothing per sale and never holds the money. What it prices instead is volume, so passing 5,000 orders or $10,000 of sales upgrades the $39 Launch plan on its own.
Sellers who want a no-cut delivery and checkout tool and stay under the plan’s annual order and revenue caps, from $39 a month.
Shoppy alternatives
Shoppy takes 5% of every sale on the free plan. Getting to 4% means the Business tier, which the pricing page publishes only as $29 a month billed annually.
Sellers who take PayPal and accept a cut on crypto, and who are not put off by Shoppy’s reputation.
Selly alternatives
Selly costs $19.99 or $59.99 a month before a single order, and adds 2.5% on every sale of $9.99 or more once the plan’s fee-free allowance is used up.
Reseller, gaming and crypto-native shops that want non-custodial payments with broad coin support and stay under roughly $800 a month, where the fee-free allowance keeps the 2.5% from applying.
Billgang alternatives
Billgang no longer operates. Its domain and its Hoodpay payment arm both serve an FBI seizure notice and delegate to fbi.seized.gov, checked on 27 August 2026. If your store went down with it, this is the live field.
No longer operating: its domain and its Hoodpay payment arm were seized in August 2026, so former Billgang sellers need somewhere live to move to.
Beacons alternatives
Beacons keeps 9% of every sale on the Free plan, and the $10 Creator plan keeps the same 9%. Zero percent and memberships both begin at $30 a month on Creator Plus.
Link-in-bio creators who will pay $30 a month to stop Beacons taking 9% of every sale.
Shoprocket alternatives
Shoprocket is 0% on every plan and never touches the money. Its $29 Starter plan cannot sell a subscription, connect a custom domain or reach the API, since all three begin at $79.
Sellers who already have a website and want a checkout embedded into it with one line of code, selling physical or digital goods without subscriptions on the entry tier.
Sellix alternatives
Sellix charged 5% on its free plan and ran a non-custodial crypto wallet until its domains were seized in January 2025. It has not operated since.
No longer operating: its domains were seized in January 2025, so former Sellix sellers need a live non-custodial platform to move to.
E-junkie alternatives
E-junkie takes nothing per sale and opens at $8 a month, which buys ten products and 200 MB of storage. Its own help centre says the system cannot handle recurring payments.
Sellers whose whole business is one-time file downloads, who want the smallest monthly bill and have no need for subscriptions, communities or a modern storefront.
Every list ranks the field on what each platform charges on the plan you actually land on, with the figures computed from its own published rates. Where a platform's charge moves with what you sell, there is a fee calculator for it too.
