Drate vs Gumroad
Gumroad sells downloads. Drate builds memberships.
Where Gumroad falls short.
10% plus 50¢, every sale.
And 30% when a sale comes through Gumroad Discover. Drate Pro is $12 a month and takes 0%.
Your fans, Gumroad’s customers.
Every sale runs through Gumroad’s checkout and receipts, and Gumroad pays you from its balance. On Drate, fans join your site, in your look.
A checkout, not a community.
Product chat instead of a member feed, Discord invites without roles, and physical orders you ship yourself. Drate covers all three.
Where they differ.
Drate’s free plan includes everything in its column unless it says otherwise.
