The Payhip problem

Why creators are looking for a Payhip alternative

5% gone on every free plan sale

Payhip's free plan charges 5% per transaction on top of Stripe's payment processing. At $1,000/mo in sales that is $50 straight to Payhip before you count Stripe fees.

$29/mo to remove the penalty

The only way to stop paying the 5% cut is to upgrade to the Plus plan at $29/mo ($348/year). That is a subscription just to get to 0% fees, before your first sale.

No buyer discovery

Payhip processes payments and hosts your files. Marketing, outreach, and finding new buyers is entirely your responsibility. No AI, no discovery engine.
