Why You Should Stick With Gumroad for at Least 6 More Months (Unless You’re Thomas Frank)
3 min readFeb 4, 2023
On February 1st 2023, Gumroad increased its fees to a flat rate of 10% (not inclusive of credit card fees).
My first reaction was: “Let’s find a cheaper alternative, RIGHT NOW!”
And many big-name creators were on my same wavelength:
If you have revenue numbers similar to those of Thomas Frank, by all means, jump ship. ConvertKit, Lemon Squeezy, and many others offer cheaper alternatives.
Otherwise: wait.
3 reasons for waiting
- Other companies may soon increase their fees as well.
- Testing new platforms is time-consuming and risky.
- Gumroad will improve its service 🤞
