Mewayz vs Gumroad
Gumroad takes a 10% platform fee on every sale (plus Stripe fees). Mewayz takes zero platform fees and adds courses, link-in-bio, CRM, and email automation — at a flat monthly price.

The problem
Sell a $50 course on Gumroad and you keep $43.55 ($50 - 10% Gumroad - 2.9% + $0.30 Stripe). On Mewayz you keep $48.25 — that's $4.70 per sale, every sale, forever.
Gumroad gives you a customer list and basic email broadcasts. There's no real CRM, no segmentation, no drip sequences, no win-back automation.
Even on paid plans, Gumroad checkout shows their branding and limits color/font customization. Custom domains require workarounds.
The solution
Mewayz only collects Stripe's processing fee. A $50 sale puts $48.25 in your pocket instead of $43.55 — at 100 sales/mo, that's $470/mo extra revenue.
Every customer becomes a CRM contact with full purchase history. Set up automated welcome sequences, win-back campaigns, upsells — none of that exists in Gumroad.
Custom domain checkout with your branding throughout. No 'Powered by Gumroad' anywhere.

Common questions
If you're a new creator with no sales, Gumroad is technically free (vs $69/mo Mewayz Business). But once you're earning more than ~$700/mo on Gumroad, the 10% fee exceeds Mewayz's flat $69 — and you also lose the platform fee on every future sale. Most creators break even at month-2 and earn more from there.
Yes. Export your customer list and product catalog from Gumroad's admin. Mewayz has bulk importers for both. Email your existing customers with their new login link — most creators migrate over 1–2 weeks with minimal churn.
Mewayz doesn't have an equivalent marketplace — your products live on your own branded site. For most creators, Discover drives <5% of sales, but if discoverability is core to your business, keep a Gumroad listing alongside Mewayz.
Mewayz uses Stripe for payouts (direct deposit to your bank account, typically 2-day rolling). Gumroad uses Stripe or PayPal. If you specifically need PayPal payouts, contact us — we can configure PayPal as an alternative gateway.
