Selly alternatives

Selly charges $19.99 or $59.99 a month with a fee-free allowance roughly equal to the plan cost. Beyond that allowance, every sale of $9.99 or more carries a 2.5% fee. For a very small store that arrangement is cheap, and the allowance means the fee never bites at low volume. Once real volume arrives, the 2.5% scales with your revenue. ByteSell’s platform fee stays at 0% on the free plan and on both paid ones, no matter how much you sell.

The two share the architecture worth insisting on, with payments landing in your own gateway or wallet and no custodian in between. ByteSell adds native paid Discord and Telegram memberships on top of it, granting access the moment a buyer pays and revoking it when the subscription lapses, alongside the same direct-to-wallet crypto support Selly is known for.

Sellers usually begin looking past Selly when the 2.5% starts to matter. Every plan includes a fee-free revenue allowance roughly equal to its price, so a small shop never feels the fee, but once sales pass that line Selly takes 2.5% of every sale of $9.99 or more on top of the $19.99 or $59.99 monthly plan. The better your month, the bigger the platform’s cut, which is exactly backwards from how a seller wants pricing to work.

The other reason is what Selly does not document. There is no native Discord or Telegram membership gating, no seller-facing subscription products, and no full analytics, so anyone selling community access or anything recurring ends up building that layer themselves. To be fair, its non-custodial model and seven-coin crypto support are good, so the search for an alternative is usually about fees and features rather than trust.
