Why creators switch from Gumroad to Vonza
Grounded in what each pricing page lists, not in opinion.
A flat platform fee
Gumroad takes 10% plus fifty cents per direct sale and 30% through Discover. Vonza charges a monthly plan and a flat platform fee, which can cost less once sales grow.
One platform instead of a stack
Gumroad’s pricing page lists digital products, courses and memberships. Vonza adds community, a website builder, funnels, a CRM and a store for physical products.
SMS marketing built in
Email and SMS marketing are not on Gumroad’s pricing page. Vonza includes both, with a monthly SMS credit on every plan.
Appointment scheduling included
Gumroad sells the product; coaching and consultations need a booking tool. Vonza includes appointment scheduling with a booking page.
