Gumroad alternatives at a glance

Where Bookstorez is different

A marketplace that brings buyers, from your first product

Every live product on Bookstorez gets its own page and a place in the catalogue, where buyers browse every seller's ebooks, printables, planners, workbooks and templates by category, topic and shop. There is no sales threshold or approval wait before a product appears, and the fee is the same whether the catalogue found the buyer or you did.

Featured products on Creator and Pro

Creator includes 1 featured week a month and Pro 4. A featured product is shown in a Featured row at the top of its category and topic pages, first in searches it matches, and on a Featured shelf on the home page, for 7 days. Featuring is part of the plan, not an extra share of each sale.

A built-in AI ebook generator

The AI ebook generator plans, writes, designs and covers an ebook from your brief and notes, then turns it into a product in one step. Free includes 1 book a month; Creator 2 and Pro 5, without a watermark.

Sites like Gumroad

Sites like Gumroad fall into two groups. Storefronts (Payhip, Sellfy, Ko-fi, Shopify, Stan Store) give you a shop to send your own audience to. Marketplaces (Bookstorez, Etsy) also put your product where buyers browse. Bookstorez does both: a storefront link for your audience and a catalogue for buyers who have never heard of you.

Choosing a Gumroad alternative

1. Decide where your buyers will come from. If you will bring every buyer yourself, a storefront is enough. If you want buyers to find you, choose a marketplace.
2. Check what you sell is accepted. Bookstorez takes your own ebooks, guides, printables, planners, workbooks and templates as PDF or EPUB, and ZIP packs on Creator and Pro.
3. Think about making, not just selling. If writing is the bottleneck, a built-in AI ebook generator saves a tool and a step.
4. Plan how you will get seen. Featured weeks on Creator and Pro put products in featured placements across the site.

Start on the Free plan

Free has no monthly charge: 3 live products and 10 drafts at 12% + 30¢ per sale, with card fees and tax handling included. Bookstorez is the seller of record, so it charges and pays the tax due on each sale and gives you a report. See every plan.

What Bookstorez includes beyond the selling fee

Make your ebook, set up your shop and get it seen, all in one place. Here is what comes with it, on top of a simple fee.

Your own shop, inside a marketplace

You get a shop with its own link to share, a page for every product, and downloads sent to buyers for you. Your products also sit in the Bookstorez catalogue, where buyers can find them, and a sale from there costs you no more than one you bring in yourself.

An AI ebook generator built in

Stuck for time? Our generator can draft an ebook with you. Free gives you 1 a month with a small watermark. Creator gives you 2 and Pro gives you 5, with no watermark. You read it, change what you like and check the facts before it goes on sale.

Featured spots on Creator and Pro

Creator lets you feature a product for 1 week every month, and Pro for 4. A featured product shows up first in the places buyers look. It helps people see your work, though we can't promise it brings visits or sales.

See everything in Free, Creator and Pro. The calculator counts the monthly price of a paid plan, but not the extras, so the money you keep is never made to look bigger than it is.
