Frequently asked questions

Can I sell the same digital products on both platforms?

Yes. Both platforms support digital product sales. If you value Gumroad's marketplace discovery, you can use both — but Kitzio gives you courses, bookings, email, and AI tools that Gumroad doesn't offer.

Does Kitzio have a marketplace?

Kitzio focuses on your own storefront and brand. We have a public creator directory, but the primary model is driving your own audience to your own store — not relying on a marketplace algorithm.

Which is cheaper for selling digital products?

On Kitzio's paid plans, the platform fee is 0% — you keep 100% of sales (Stripe processing fees still apply). Gumroad charges a percentage fee on sales. Compare the total cost for your expected sales volume.

Can I move from Gumroad to Kitzio?

Yes. You can recreate your products on Kitzio and use your existing audience to drive traffic to your new storefront. Your Kitzio store has its own URL you can share anywhere.
