Editorial summary
Decision guidance
Verified Mar 2026. No monthly fee. Gumroad takes 10% per sale. Supports digital downloads, memberships, and courses.
When not to use
The 10% fee adds up at scale. If you sell more than $5K/month in digital products, a platform with flat monthly pricing (like Teachable or Kajabi) is more cost-effective.
