Payhip is a hosted storefront for downloads, courses, memberships, coaching and physical products. Its packages retain the same advertised feature set while changing the monthly subscription and platform fee. Sellers can begin without a monthly charge and evaluate a paid package against their own sales volume rather than upgrading merely to unlock the store builder.

Sellfy brings downloadable products, subscriptions and merchandise into a hosted creator store. A seller can use its storefront or embed sales components in an existing site. It suits a catalogue that mixes files with print-on-demand merchandise; the buying decision should include annual sales thresholds and the marketing tools needed after launch.
Gumroad provides product pages and checkout for digital creators selling files, courses and memberships. Its direct-link sales and Discover marketplace have different fee structures. It can suit a creator who prefers a sale-linked platform bill and a merchant-of-record arrangement over paying for a larger store subscription.
