Which to use

Gumroad wins when you want no monthly fee and can live with 10% plus $0.50 on direct sales, or 30% if the buyer comes from Discover. SamCart wins when your checkout page, order bumps and upsells matter more than having a full course platform.

Choose Gumroad if you want to sell a digital file or membership without a monthly store fee.
Choose SamCart if you sell courses, coaching or digital products and want high-converting checkout pages with upsells.
