Leaving Sellfy?

ByteSell takes 0% on every plan, and your buyers pay straight into your own Stripe, PayPal or crypto wallet.

Get started

Sellfy charges no transaction fee on any of its three plans, pays into your own Stripe or PayPal the moment a sale completes, and prints merchandise beside the downloads.

What it meters is how much you are allowed to sell. Starter is $39 a month for $10,000 of sales a year, Business $79 for $50,000 and Premium $159 for $200,000, over a rolling twelve months, with 2% on every order past the line.

The 10 best Sellfy alternatives for selling without a revenue ceiling

  1. ByteSellOur pick

    Keeps the two things you already like, which are a real zero and money landing in your own accounts, and attaches no annual total to either. Nothing recalculates after a good quarter. Subscriptions, affiliates and gated community access are on the free plan rather than on a tier above it.

    Pros

    • No revenue ceiling, no rolling window and no overage rate on any plan
    • Zero per sale on the free tier as well as Pro and Business
    • Subscriptions, affiliates, resellers and community gating are ungated
    • Payment settles into your own Stripe, PayPal or crypto wallet immediately

    Cons

    • The free plan takes files up to 50 MB, against 10 GB on Sellfy Starter
    • Free also stores 500 MB in total and keeps seven days of analytics
    • Printed and print-on-demand merchandise is outside what ByteSell sells
    • A custom domain and branding removal both begin on Pro at $29

    Sellfy would take, in a year

    $468and ByteSell would take none of it

    On a $50 product selling 50 times a month, on its $39 a month plan. ByteSell is 0% on every plan including the free one, and the buyer pays your own Stripe, PayPal or wallet, so nothing is held in the middle.

    Free plan, no card, keep every cent of every sale.

  2. Shoprocket

    Zero on all three plans with no revenue ceiling written anywhere, settling into a gateway you own. It is built to live inside a website you already have rather than to be the destination. Subscriptions and your own domain both begin on the $79 plan, not the $29 one.

    Pros

    • Zero transaction fee on all three plans, with unlimited sales volume
    • Funds settle into your own Stripe, PayPal or PayU account instantly
    • One line of code puts the store on any site you already run
    • Branding removal and unlimited products come with the entry plan

    Cons

    • Subscriptions and a custom domain both start on the $79 Business plan
    • API access is held back to that same tier
    • No page documents gated Discord or Telegram access

    Shoprocket alternatives

  3. SendOwl

    The same trade you know, drawn in different units. There is no percentage, but Launch at $39 stops at 5,000 orders and $10,000 of sales across a rolling year, and crossing either line upgrades you automatically. Bandwidth over the monthly allowance is billed at a dollar per gigabyte.

    Pros

    • No percentage on any tier, and no funds are ever held for you
    • Every capability sits on the entry plan, including subscriptions and affiliates
    • A dispute costs no platform fee, only the buyer’s download access
    • Annual billing takes Launch from $39 to $32.50 a month

    Cons

    • Launch allows 5,000 orders and $10,000 of sales over a trailing year
    • Crossing a limit triggers an automatic upgrade instead of a warning
    • Bandwidth over the allowance is charged at a dollar per gigabyte
    • Tax is tracked and never remitted, so filing stays with you

    SendOwl alternatives

  4. Payhip logoPayhip

    Publishes unlimited products and unlimited revenue on a plan that costs nothing, and gates no feature behind any tier. What it takes is 5% of each sale, which on a store already clearing $50,000 a year comes to considerably more than Sellfy’s 2% overage would.

    Pros

    • Unlimited products and unlimited revenue, published on the free plan
    • Nothing is gated by tier, so the free plan is the whole product
    • US sales tax and EU VAT are collected and remitted for you
    • A custom domain and branding removal are included from the start

    Cons

    • Five percent of every sale free, and 2% on the $29 Plus plan
    • Reaching zero percent requires the $99 Pro plan
    • Usually only PayPal plus one other processor can be connected at once
    • No annual price exists, so there is nothing to prepay for

    Payhip fee calculatorPayhip alternatives

  5. Podia

    Worth opening if the teaching matters more than the merchandise, because courses, a community and email marketing arrive on one bill with a thirty day trial and no card asked. Mover at $49 still deducts 5% from every sale, and PayPal is not available on that tier.

    Pros

    • Lessons, a paid community and email marketing in a single subscription
    • A thirty day trial that asks for no card
    • Shaker at $99 and Earthquaker at $179 take nothing per sale
    • Payments run through your own connected processor with nothing held

    Cons

    • The $49 Mover plan still takes 5%, on monthly and annual billing alike
    • PayPal works on Shaker and Earthquaker only, not on Mover
    • Mover includes 100 email contacts, and 10,000 costs $70 more a month
    • Podia cannot collect its fee through Stripe in five listed countries

    Podia fee calculatorPodia alternatives

  6. Ko-fi logoKo-fi

    The low-commitment option for a creator whose audience already gives them money. Nothing monthly, 5% on shop sales and memberships, and 200 GB of storage behind 1,500 shop items on the Contributor tier new creators land on. The page stays on Ko-fi, since no custom domain is offered.

    Pros

    • Nothing monthly, and money moves into your own PayPal or Stripe at once
    • Contributor allows 1,500 shop items behind 200 GB of storage
    • There is no payout minimum and no holding period
    • The supporter email list downloads whenever you ask for it

    Cons

    • Shop sales and memberships both carry 5% on the two free tiers
    • Ko-fi Gold at $12 reaches zero, though Ko-fi steers people away from it
    • There is no custom domain, so the shop stays on a Ko-fi page
    • You are merchant of record, so refunds and disputes are yours

  7. E-junkie

    Strips the store back to file delivery and charges by the month, from $8 for ten products and 200 MB up to $40 for unlimited. It takes no cut and never touches the money. Its help centre states the system cannot handle recurring payments of any kind.

    Pros

    • From $8 a month, the cheapest entry point in this comparison
    • No transaction fee on any plan, with buyers paying your own account
    • Six payment processors supported, including Braintree and Razorpay
    • A fourteen day free trial with no card required

    Cons

    • Recurring payments are not possible on the system, in E-junkie’s own words
    • The $8 plan carries 200 MB and ten products, and $20 buys 8 GB
    • The shop runs on a numbered e-junkie.com address
    • No print-on-demand or physical fulfilment of any kind

    E-junkie alternatives

  8. SellAuth

    Zero on every plan with the first paid tier at $9.99, fraud blocking from that tier and a reseller panel at $29.99. The reason it is not higher on this list is the delivery ceiling: 10 MB per file on the free plan and 100 MB on both paid ones, which never rises.

    Pros

    • Zero across all three plans, starting at $9.99 for the first paid tier
    • Fraud blocking by VPN, Tor, country and ASN on the paid plans
    • The $29.99 Scale plan allows 500 affiliate tiers and up to 10,000 affiliates
    • An embeddable checkout and API access on the free plan

    Cons

    • The largest file it will deliver is 100 MB, or 10 MB on the free plan
    • That ceiling stays fixed no matter which plan you buy
    • Both paid plans display a monthly price beside one-time payment wording
    • Neither payout terms nor merchant of record are stated on the pricing page
  9. Lemon Squeezy logoLemon Squeezy

    Points at software sellers rather than creators, taking tax off your hands entirely as merchant of record and running a licence API with activation limits and expiry. Its rate is 5% plus 50 cents worked out on the order total, with tax included in that base.

    Pros

    • Merchant of record worldwide, so VAT and sales tax leave your desk
    • No monthly charge, so an idle month costs nothing
    • A licence API with activation limits, named instances and expiry

    Cons

    • Five percent and 50 cents, worked out on an order total that includes tax
    • A refund does not return the platform fee, only the buyer’s money
    • Payouts arrive twice monthly after thirteen days, above a $50 minimum
    • Buyers in eighteen listed countries cannot complete a purchase
    • Stripe now recommends its own managed product to new signups

  10. Gumroad logoGumroad

    No plan to buy and no annual total to watch, which is the appeal, and a marketplace behind it. The cost lands per sale instead: a tenth plus fifty cents at every volume, seven days before the money is released, and a hundred dollar floor under any payout.

    Pros

    • No subscription of any kind, so a quiet month is free
    • Gumroad is the merchant of record, so worldwide sales tax is settled for you
    • Discover puts products in front of people already shopping
    • Buyer emails are visible in the dashboard and export as CSV

    Cons

    • Ten percent plus 50 cents on every sale, with no volume tier
    • Every sale is held seven days before it can be paid out
    • A $100 balance is required before any payout, more in some countries
    • Discover sales cost 30% instead of the headline rate

    Gumroad fee calculatorGumroad alternatives

Every price above is computed from that platform's own published rates on its entry plan, which is the plan almost everyone is actually on. Where a charge applies only in certain cases, an international card or a payout, the row says so rather than adding it to the headline rate.

The 0% is real, and that is what makes the exit interesting. Sellfy charges no transaction fee on Starter, Business or Premium. What it sells instead is permission to earn a certain amount: $10,000 a year on the $39 Starter plan, $50,000 on the $79 Business plan, and $200,000 on the $159 Premium plan. Two mechanics turn that from a number into a problem. The window rolls, because Sellfy calculates total sales over the previous twelve months on an ongoing basis, so a strong Christmas is still counting against you the following October rather than clearing in January. And the overage is charged per order, 2% on every individual order placed after the limit is exceeded, running until the account moves up to a plan with a ceiling of its own. A Starter store averaging $850 a month reaches its limit inside the year, and the reward for a good quarter is a bill that recalculates.

Not until you pass your plan’s annual revenue limit. Past it, Sellfy charges 2% on every order until the account upgrades.

$10,000 a year on Starter, $50,000 on Business and $200,000 on Premium, calculated over a rolling twelve months.

No. Sellfy states that checkout is not enabled during the 14-day trial, so no payments can be collected.

Payhip publishes unlimited revenue on its free plan, Shoprocket publishes unlimited sales volume on all three of its plans, and ByteSell attaches no sales ceiling to any tier. SendOwl is the one to check carefully, since it caps orders and annual revenue in the same way Sellfy caps revenue alone.

Print-on-demand is the thing Sellfy does that almost nothing else on this list does. Shoprocket handles physical products, and Gumroad and Etsy sell physical goods, but a seller whose merchandise and downloads have to live in one storefront with printing attached should weigh that before moving.
