Best fit
Best 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.
Best for: Consultants running strategy workshops, brainstorming sessions, and framework exercises with clients.
Why pick it: 5,000+ templates cover every major consulting framework out of the box. Real-time collaboration with voting, timers, and private brainstorming mode prevents groupthink, and Miro AI can draft boards and summaries from a prompt.
Watch for: Overkill for simple note-taking or async document collaboration. Use Notion if you need a knowledge base, not a whiteboard.
