CreateMySOW
Niche FitBest for: Consultants who need quick SOW documents without a full proposal platform.
Why pick it: Free and instant. If you just need a clean SOW with e-signature and do not want to subscribe to anything, this is the fastest path.
Watch for: No CRM integration, no analytics, no payment collection. If you send more than 3 proposals per month, invest in a proper platform.
Gumroad
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants productizing their expertise into sellable templates, frameworks, and digital downloads.
Why pick it: No monthly fee removes the risk of launching a product — you only pay when you earn. Since 2025 Gumroad is also Merchant of Record, so it collects and remits sales tax, VAT, and GST for you. Setup takes minutes, not days.
Watch for: The all-in fee (~13%) compounds at volume. If you consistently sell more than $3–5K/month in digital products, a flat-fee platform like Teachable or Kajabi likely costs less.
