6 best Gumroad alternatives for Indian creators

Gumroad charges no subscription and takes 10% + $0.50 of every sale from your own link, or 30% through its marketplace. For Indian creators the currency is the second problem. Alternatives include SuperProfile, Instamojo, TagMango, Teachable and Pullsy Store at ₹799 a month with 0%.

Updated 21 September 2026

Gumroad's deal is honest and it is expensive. Nothing to pay until something sells, and then a tenth of it, plus fifty cents, forever. On a ₹199 product that fifty cents is another ₹48 — about a quarter of the sale gone before the ten per cent is counted.

For an Indian creator there is a second cost that never appears on an invoice. Your buyers see dollars, pay by card, and skip the payment method four out of five of them would have used. UPI is how small purchases happen in India, and a checkout without it converts worse than one with it.

These are the alternatives, sorted by whether your audience is here or abroad.

The alternatives, one by one 🔍

Pullsy Store

Indian creators selling to Indian buyers

₹799 a month, 0% per sale, rupee checkout with UPI, and settlement to a merchant account in your own name. At ₹50,000 of monthly sales it costs about ₹4,200 less than Gumroad's 10%, before counting the sales UPI wins back.

SuperProfile

A fast Indian storefront

Cosmofeed's creator page, built for Indian buyers with UPI-first checkout. Free to start, with a commission that falls as the subscription rises.

Instamojo

Digital and physical in one place

2% + ₹3 on its payment links, 5% + ₹3 on the free store plan, and shipping and inventory for anything you post. A recognised Indian checkout with a decade behind it.

Teachable

Courses sold in dollars

If your audience really is American, Teachable's 0% plans from $89 a month beat Gumroad's 10% above roughly $890 of monthly sales, and it handles US sales tax for you.

TagMango

Communities and cohorts, not files

If what you are selling is really access to you and to a group, a file store is the wrong tool. 10% on the free plan, 0% at ₹30,000 a month.

Graphy

Growing a download into a course

Modules, drip and certificates for ₹24,999 a year plus 10% per sale. Heavy, and the right kind of heavy when a PDF has turned into a curriculum.

What moving actually involves 📦

Download every file and every version. Gumroad hosts what you uploaded; nothing says it always will.
Export your customer list with purchase dates. Past buyers are the cheapest audience for the next thing.
Decide about the marketplace. Sales Gumroad discovered for you stop when you leave, and they are not always negligible.
Price in rupees deliberately rather than converting. ₹499 is a price; ₹512 is a conversion, and it reads like one.
Keep the Gumroad product page live with a link out for a couple of months. Old links are in old newsletters.

Worth asking before you move 🤔

What is Gumroad's fee in 2026?

10% + $0.50 on every sale through your own profile or link, and 30% on a sale through Gumroad's discovery marketplace. There is no monthly subscription and no plan that reduces the percentage.

Does Gumroad support UPI?

Gumroad's checkout is built around cards and PayPal for a global audience. Indian buyers overwhelmingly prefer UPI for small purchases, so a rupee-and-UPI checkout usually converts better on an Indian audience.

What is the cheapest Gumroad alternative in India?

Below roughly ₹8,000 of monthly sales, nothing beats paying nothing — stay on Gumroad or use a free Instamojo payment link. Above it, a flat ₹799 subscription with no commission costs less every single month.
