Gumroad is the best possible way to sell your first digital product and among the worst ways to sell your thousandth. That is not a flaw in it — it is the entire design. There is nothing to pay until something sells, and the price of that is a permanent tenth of everything that ever does.
10% + $0.50 on a sale from your own link. Thirty per cent if the buyer came from Gumroad's own marketplace. The fifty cents is the part that stings on small items: on a ₹199 template it is another 25% on top of the ten.
Nothing about that gets better as you grow. A flat fee gets relatively cheaper with every sale; a percentage does the opposite, forever.
What Gumroad charges 🧾
| Gumroad plan | What it costs | What it takes of a sale |
|---|---|---|
| Any sale from your own link | $0/month | 10% + $0.50 |
| A sale through Gumroad's marketplace | $0/month | 30% |
What Pullsy Store charges 🏪
₹799 a month, and 0% of every sale. There is no second plan, no volume tier and no rate that improves if you negotiate — there is nothing to negotiate about. Payments settle through a merchant account in your own name, so the gateway's charge is yours and ours is ₹799.
The difference, on real numbers 🧮
| You sold, in a month | Gumroad takes | Pullsy Store takes | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹25,000 | ₹2,500 (Any sale from your own link) | ₹799 | +₹1,701 |
| ₹50,000 | ₹5,000 (Any sale from your own link) | ₹799 | +₹4,201 |
| ₹1,00,000 | ₹10,000 (Any sale from your own link) | ₹799 | +₹9,201 |
| ₹3,00,000 | ₹30,000 (Any sale from your own link) | ₹799 | +₹29,201 |
| ₹10,00,000 | ₹1,00,000 (Any sale from your own link) | ₹799 | +₹99,201 |
Gumroad is the cheaper of the two until you sell about ₹8,000 in a month. Past that it never is again, and the gap grows with every sale you make.
Where Gumroad is the better choice 🤝
- Nothing to set up and nothing to pay until something sells — unbeatable for a first digital product.
- Buyers worldwide already trust the checkout.
- Its discovery marketplace can sell to people who have never heard of you.
Sell your first product on Gumroad. Genuinely. If you have never charged anyone for anything, paying ₹799 a month to find out whether your audience will buy is the wrong risk — pay nothing, take the 10%, and learn. The moment you clear about ₹8,000 a month, the arithmetic reverses and does not come back.
The difference that is not a percentage
Most platforms in this market are the merchant. The buyer pays them, their provider settles to their account, and you are paid afterwards on a schedule they publish.
On Pullsy Store you are the merchant. A five-minute verification — PAN, Aadhaar, a bank account in your own name — leaves you holding your own merchant account, and the payment gateway settles to your bank directly, on its own cycle. We never hold the money, which means we could not delay it if we wanted to.
Worth asking before you move 🤔
What does Gumroad charge in 2026?
10% + $0.50 on every sale made through your own profile or link, and 30% on a sale made through Gumroad's discovery marketplace. There is no monthly subscription — the whole business is funded by the per-sale cut.
Is Gumroad good for Indian creators?
It works, and payouts to Indian bank accounts are supported. The friction is currency and conversion: your buyers see dollars, you receive dollars, and Indian buyers who expect UPI meet a card checkout instead.
When should I move off Gumroad?
When 10% of a month's sales exceeds what a flat subscription costs — around ₹8,000 of monthly revenue against ₹799. Below that Gumroad is genuinely cheaper. Above it, every month you stay is a month you paid for nothing extra.
