Digital product stores compared: prices and price hikes
Stores and checkouts that let creators, indie hackers and small businesses sell ebooks, templates, presets, software and other downloads (often with memberships and tips on the side), compared by what selling really costs once the platform's own fees are included and by which capabilities each alternative actually replaces.
Prices at $1,000 a month in download sales (50 orders of $20)
Monthly USD on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for a defined download business, including the platform's own transaction fees at that volume; standard card processing (about 2.9% + $0.30) is excluded and all-in merchant-of-record fees are counted net of that allowance. The headline is $1,000 a month in sales from 50 orders of a $20 download; we also compare $10,000 a month from 400 orders of a $25 download.
