Kavieo vs Gumroad, without the marketing talk.
Gumroad is built around letting you list a digital download and collect cash. That's it, mostly. Kavieo is built around running a whole creator business — courses, community, coaching, subscriptions, automations, analytics. Here's how that plays out on the things that move revenue.
Gumroad is a marketplace. Kavieo is an OS. The distinction costs you money.
Your cut is materially higher on Kavieo.
Gumroad charges up to 10% per sale on top of payment-processor fees. Kavieo's platform fee is 2–5% depending on plan — roughly half as much on most transactions.
Gumroad wins on 'list one file, walk away'.
If you're selling one PDF once, Gumroad is simpler. No monthly fee. We're not going to pretend otherwise.
Courses, community, coaching — Kavieo owns them.
Gumroad has weak course hosting, no real community, no coaching booking. Kavieo has all three, first-class, in the same buyer database.
What you'd actually pay, in a typical month.
Every feature. Every row. No marketing wand-waving.
