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 selling premium packages at $10K+ who need polished proposals.
Why pick it: Web-based proposals with engagement analytics show you exactly what the client read and when, so you know the right moment to follow up.
Watch for: If your clients expect traditional PDF/Word proposals (some enterprise buyers do), PandaDoc handles both formats better.
