Gumroad vs Payhip vs Koji: Which is the Best Platform to Sell Digital Products?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- In this video, I highlight some important differences between Gumroad vs Payhip vs Koji so you can decide which one is the best platform to sell digital products for your purpose.
❗️IMPORTANT: As of February 2024, Koji had discontinued its services. I recommend a service called Beacons instead as an alternative: aurelius.link/beacons
In a nutshell, the pricing/fee differences between Koji, Gumroad, and Payhip:
Gumroad: 9% + 0.30c /transaction ($0-$999 in sales) (UPDATE FEB. 2023: Gumroad has removed the tiered fee structure and now charges a simple 10% flat fee no matter your sale volume)
Payhip: 5% + PayPal/Stripe fees with options to upgrade to its monthly plans for reduced or no transaction fees.
Koji: 0-10% (Depending on the app you use). Example: Tip Jar app is 0% while the Digital Download app is 5%.
Some other things to know in addition to what I mentioned in the video...
Koji is a link in bio service which built-in app integrations allowing your audience to purchase directly on your page.
Gumroad seems to be a favorite amongst creators, especially with Twitter users from what I've observed. Anyone who purchases via Gumroad has all his/her purchases in their Gumroad account.
Payhip has a clean and minimalist interface which is what I like. Even though you can use Zapier to integrate an email marketing services, on the Marketing page, you can directly integrate your account with email marketing service such as ConvertKit and Mailchimp. Its Store Builder is also a big perk that stands out. Gumroad does not gives you that much flexibility with your store.

The quality of your content shocks me! I can tell you have a good heart to provide such valuable no bull shit, no lamenting, honest & straightforward information. You are bound to succeed honestly. Great work bro.
Thank you for making this video Aurelius! I'd never heard of Payhip or Koji. Will look into them for sure ✨
You really break down helpful things on your channel and I am glad that I subscribed here. Just from free information that you shared, I am able to increase profit and decrease overhead. Thank you, Aurelius.
I just subscribed to your channel, because it is the best value I have found all week!
Very good info to know. THANKS for putting this info together.
Awesome! I always follow your tips and tricks:)
Loved the comparisons Aurelius! Just now saw your video and I am going to give PayHip a try.
What you review and demo is something I don't see on other channels. Subscribing to your channel has been the eye opener of the year. Thanks a lot mate!
I’m glad to see! Thank you!
Peace be upon you
Sooooooo good! Thank you Aurelius
Very helpful; thanks so much for making this!
Thank you for sharing, Aurelius.
This is amazing!! Thank you so much
Thanks Aurelius nice video. I learned a lot
Good to hear that!Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, I like your work Aurelius , clean work , very rare now a days to learn selling or any way of online business from yt or courses without teaching us how to lie to people …
Hope you don’t change 😢
Love from Cameroon you are very educative and pushing culture forward
Thanks Aurelius, I've heard good things about Payhip so your video has helped make up my mind on which to use 😊
Thanks for the knowledge. Appreciated.
I have just subcribed. Thanks for good info.
Thanks for your information mr aurelius... this video will help a begineer like me to get more sell... thanks
Thank you for sharing the info. It's a great help for me to decide what platform to use as I'm looking for the best way to start selling online.
Thanks for sharing these platforms to sell info products
Thank you so much!!!
We're going to look into Koji, thank you Aurelius
Gold. It's inspired me to develop an e-product line.
This is so weird and probably the biggest sign i need to jump headfirst into following my dreams but after extensively web researching this topic two weeks ago, I decided that these three were hands down the absolute best places to sell my products.
I just typed beacons in here because i was wondering if i had dismissed it too early and this video showed up. Divine intervention! Lol
EXCELLENT content!
Thank you!
I picked Gumroad because of one of your other videos. Sooooo simple. Key for me was simple wizard workflow, single and aggregate file size as well as the audio preview and buttery smooth embeds. #StrongWorkYo
Something that I don't understand is, does gumroad need a Google ADS campaign in order to get clients? Or is there an algorithm of Gumroad that recommends your products to customers?
Thank you for sharing this video. I was just wondering does Payhip allow the option to drip courses?
Thanks I wasn’t sure which platform to use
Gud videos uploading
Hey, you are pretty awesome, you've helped me a lot. But I have a question If you allow me... how can I protect my work on canva or any template I create, I mean how to add the copyright stamp that I see everywhere on all designs??!!
Thanks in advance.
brother you rock
thanks for the value. Can we use all three platforms simultaneously?
Thanks Aurelius for the video - certainly some options to consider. Do you have any comment about selling products you have purchased as PLR or White Label (eg: your own Unstoppable PLR products) on these platforms. What I tend to do is add my own mockup, retitle the product and then add to the content, rewriting maybe 10-20% of it along the way. Do you think that would be acceptable to each platform (based on your own experience)
I would be interested in knowing which platforms Aurelius recommends for selling optimized PLR as well. Or, if your suggestion would be acceptable.
Hi! Thank you for the amazing info! I have one question; Regarding the Koji App, once the customers choose and pay for their digital downloads; Should they go retrieve link from their email? Or does the Koji download go straight to their mobile or computer. Thx!
Hi Aurelius! Really appreciate your videos. Extremely well organized and articulate. I’ve been searching for an app/web extension that helps capture leads/ contacts/ emails of suppliers for my e-commerce startup. Essentially I’m spending a lot of time researching and shortlisting suppliers on various parameters, but now I’m having to revisit and spend more time looking for contacts and emails. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!
Thanks for your feedback Adrian. Are these leads permission based i.e. they opted to receive emails from you? Or have I misunderstood and that you are looking to save contacts into a database and filter them? Are you already using an email marketing service such as MailChimp, ActiveCampaign?
@@AureliusTjin Hi Aurelius….let me clarify! I’m creating a list of suppliers I have identified for my e-commerce business. I’m not sending emails or using any kind of broadcast messaging service….. it’s a small list for one geographic region ‘India.’ While I have made my shortlist painstakingly through online research, I’d like to know if there is a more efficient way of getting or collating emails/ contacts. I’m a one man company at the moment, trying to maximize effort. I’m now starting to use a lot of the chrome extensions suggested by you, hopefully I’ll be able to do a lot more with the resources at my disposal. Hope I’m able to articulate my requirement. Also, truly appreciate your quick reply. Keeping making these videos, they are excellent! Cheers!
Allow me to elaborate more :) …. ecomhunt is a really nice tool that allows faster research, in the same way is there an extension for contacts and mails to be collated by visiting websites. Also, can the tool suggest similar supplier/ manufacturers?!
Love the video - Quick question about PAYHIP just wondering if there is a way for my students to get a copy of the certificate without downloading the pdf (they are at a school that has tight security that does not allow any downloads)
Thank you
Thanks, SUB!
Hi Aurelius, I have a question about Koji Wallet Payment Verification Process. This is the first time I saw somebody asking for id verification for PayPal integration, cause I have seen in most places the PayPal Email is enough to get paid from that site. So, I want to ask if this is 100% safe to provide a National ID to them? Is it mandatory?🤔
Payhip is the best & it looks more a bit professional. Thanks Aurelius Tjin for your efforts!
Except. Having trouble tracking traffic. Smn needs to do a video on how to attract traffic
Have you checked Podia??? It's also amazing
I sell digital images on other sites. How does Gumroad protect images from just being downloaded by right click and "save image as"? Do they offer watermark option?
Hey Aurelius - Wondering what your thoughts are on Stan Store and what your pros and cons might be.
Do I need a business PayPal account to take PayPal payments through payhip?
Or it will take payment from PayPal on my behalf?
Do you need a payment processor like paypal to add to these or are they a payment processor themselves?
What about websites for physical products that take a percentage of your sale over charging you a standard fee every month?
Hi, I would like to sell unique URLs (the URLs are google sheets) where each buyer gets their own URL. Do any of these platforms have the ability for me to upload a list of URLs to sell? If they don't, any other suggestions? TIA
How’s it going? I have used koji to upload my video, under locked videos, but alot of people seem to struggle putting their payment details in for some reason. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you have any suggestions to make it “clearer” to customers how to purchase locked content
Since I uploaded my first product I can't upload another product again. Pls what could be the problem?
Which of these platforms can sell an ebook in the whole world or if you know some other that can sell an ebook worldwide better?
What do you think about the Stan store?
Please make a video on best video downloaders which r useful for pc and 💻 laptop
Do you still own the emails that buy from this like would a regular website
Hi great video. Please, can I sell physical products on Koji?
Thanks for sharing info on these platforms. However, won't you still have to do your own marketing to sell your ebooks or to at least direct traffic to your ebooks on the platform?
Yes, you sure do have to just like with any product or service.
not sure why no one mentioned the 16 hours limits for video for courses. I pay $5 monthly for that. not sure when I reach the limit how they will increase it !
Does payhip support Apple pay i can't find the option 🙏
Does Koji host the content creator's material? Thanks.
Great info! So with Payhip someone can get paid for sharing your link/store? Does payhip also have an affiliate program so that I can earn commission for promoting payhip?
I think so..
Now that Koji is gone, what are the options?
HI, AS A DIGITAL PAINTER , I WANT TO ASK , CAN WE UPLOAD SAME PAINTING
ON MULTIPLE PLATFORM , LIKE ON ETSY, FIVERR, GUMROAD, ETC, BECAUSE AS A CREATOR I HAVE A RIGHT TO EXPLORE AS MANY OPTIONS AS POSSIBLE....
I was loving payhip, working on it for 2 months. Shop was fully designed with almost 70 digital printable wall art products and suddenly they erased my account without even sending me an email saying good bye. I was really pissed of with that. I wrote them an email and they didn’t even took 1 minute of their time to answer. The designs were created by me on Canva with many working hours (a lot in fact). After that I searched online and many people were affected by this type of decision on their side. I really don’t recommend it because you can loose all your work in a blink of an eye. Anyone else has gone through this?
Me in the past, but now work
Payhip did same with me
@@krivadnaaiservices same with me, no answer still. I sold my first product and boom, account got closed money got refunded, emailed them, no answer
wow. I’ll have to be aware of this. thank you
Thanks for sharing your experience
thank you please other website koji is the best but is closed can you make video
You suggested choosing one of the three recommended platforms. Is there a logical reason for not going with all three, plus any other platforms, in order to capture a greater market?
Yes, that’s because these platforms don’t promote or feature your products. You have to drive traffic to your product pages, so it isn’t the case of the more, the better. It’s more about which one is best suited for your type of product, business model, and budget.
@@AureliusTjin Makes sense. It doesn't make sense to upload the video courses on more than one platform then. I read that Gumroad does not charge to upload video lessons to their platform but PayHip does. Also, Gumroad fees include Stripe and PayPal but PayHip doesn't?
What is your opinion on Teachable and Hotmart?
Do you have reviews or comparison with those ones?
Thank you
Can I use koji from Bangladesh 🇧🇩?
How did you cut Your Video in Circle format?
I use Screenflow but you can also use Loom, Camtasia and even do it on most major video editors like Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, etc.
Is there any platform where i can sell my geodesic building plans, we have so many and we want to sell people to make it themselves ratner then spending 80k or 50k so the drawings are in details and u can build it yourself...i am unable to find a good platform...i have a website but not too many followers, etsy is all AI, gumroad not allowing me to sell till such time i bring one sale from god....anything i must try pls?
I have a question: can you sell the same product in multiple platforms?
I would like to know this as well
What’s the name of mic you are using for this video?
I use a Rode Procaster. Full list of gear I use at aureliustjin.com/tools
How do I open an account with Gumroad
Cannot connect my Paypal to payhip. Help me how?
i just opened the Koji, it was shut down. so it cant be used already right?
No longer exist that’s right. Use Beacons instead: aurelius.link/beacons

Can’t we just use all 3 at once?
A am newbie. Started with Gumroad gateway for selling my ebooks. i have published 4 ebooks for about two weeks now , just 4 viewers . Am a little worried. Kindly assist on how can get my books reached out the people will to buy. How do i make people to buy my ebooks.
Marketing. Create free content on social media.
I’ve heard a lot of bad things about GumRoad. When looking at reviews, there is a sea of 1 star review which defo put me off. PayHip looks interesting though :)
Is it possible to sell online courses using Koji or is it for only PDF? Thanks!
on their help pages, the only requirement is it must be in .zip format :) so whatever you can zip can be uploaded.
Thanks how much percentage does Koji keep ? I just signed up for them and pay hip
5% + processor fees (PayPal/stripe) which is usually about 3%
@@AureliusTjin hi subscribed... how much maximum amount can i make in gumroad in a month?
My head is spinning, so many options with so many pros and cons. 🙃🤔
Any good and honest ones out there with course creators platform and marketplace combination all-in-one?
Not one or the other and don't charge arm and leg and 50% of referal/affiliate fees away leaving sellers with barely any meat on the bone?
Which Screen recorder you are using?
Screenflow
@@AureliusTjin Ohk thx!
Can you sell audio products on payhip?
Yes bro
@@jeykbeats thanks 🙏🏾
Can I sell same contents in these 3 Platform simultaneously ?
Yes but I don’t see why you would want to do that. You aren’t going to expose your product to more people that way because you need an audience. These platforms do not market your products.
@@AureliusTjin got that ! thanks
Another great video (I'll never get that Google Biz Profile how-to finished if I keep clicking on your vids!). Thanks!!
I am selling a course, what should i go ahead with. Will host my courses on a LMS.
Payhip
@@AureliusTjin Thanks for this.. registering now.. I need a payment platform which can also accept debit/credit, UPI etc like how Razorpay, PayU does .
You're the Only 1 I've heard say it cost monthly on Koji! I was under the of assumption that koji was free Except for their percentatell me fee when you sell something!. Where did you get this $99 fee per month from???
I don’t think I mentioned that? Please rewatch the video. This video was about Koji, Payhip and Gumroad. I went through Payhip’s pricing where in their highest plan it is $99/month. In addition, I laid out the complete fee and pricing structure in the description of this video.
@@AureliusTjin yes you said- ( something such as Koji $99 - $158 or so ) @ 3min42sec mark. NO major harm I personally watch a lot of your videos! but that statement could steer people away from a decent platform.
@@markt7143 that was Kajabi* not Koji
@@bboygermy Well than MY Apologies. Thanks
@@markt7143 no problem! We’re all on it 💪
Could you please show the LIVE WITHDRAWAL METHOD you did Sir? You haven't show the payout yet. Creating account may be so easy but, some reviews said the payout is terrible because you would only see your money in your wallet or dashboard but you couldn't actually withdraw them. How true???. Please show us your ACTUAL WITHDRAWAL because you've been using this for 8 months Sir. I'm sure you were able to withdraw so many times already, am I right? Please make a tutorial on HOW TO WITHDRAW EARNINGS FROM KOJI Sir, Thanks a lot 🙏 I'm waiting
Gumroad fee is 10% now for any volume
1. What is the best tool that works for you as far as marketing. My course is taught by video online. I am not sure if Udemy is the best one for my topics. Also, Udemy likes to have my courses exclusively and I am not sure if they will market my courses well. 2. Do you recommend using multiple platforms? I don't have a following yet so I want to keep the fees low. 3. Do you pay for Instagram, FB, or YT marketing? Have you hired any marketing or promotion people or do you do everything yourself?
Was about to make a gumroad today to sell NSFW 3D animations and they have 15GB max uploads which is good but if you have a return rate over 1%, they deactivate your account. That's not cool people spend all that time uploading 3D x and they deactivate just cause a troll want's their money back, and they don't even have to tell you why your account is deactivated, and they jack your money when that happens. Wack! Can I upload 3D X videos to the payhip and what is the max GB or product uploads???
I would like to add an Arabic translation feature
Easily Payhip for websites
Isn't PayHip a little bit more expensive than Gumroad? For what I understand, Gumroad is 9% in total (including Stripe or PayPal fees). Whereas PayHip is 5% plus Stripe or PayPal and that could be more than 9% (I may have got this wrong).
Also, Gumroad doesn't charge to upload the video lessons to their platform but PayHip does charge, I believe.....
In my opinion, Gumroad is the best platform to sell your digital products, it's like Teachable, Podia, Kajabi etc where you have your space to sell WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION, Gumroad charges a fee for EACH sale depending on your lifetime earnings, you can send your money to a bank account or PayPal, I don't know if there is a fee to send the money from Gumroad to PayPal, I have to ask them.
@@AndresRodriguez-ul7hr Thank you for sharing, Andres. Have you tried PayHip? I continue to hear amazing things about that platform for online courses.
@@AndresRodriguez-ul7hr If you find out the exact difference in total commissions between Gumroad and PayHip, do share it here, please. And thank you.
@@MrGheller I asked a Gumroad user and he told me that there is no fee to send money from Gumroad to PayPal. With Payhip, Teachable, Kajabi you have to pay a monthly subscription.
@@AndresRodriguez-ul7hr Monthly subscription to send money? That doesn't make much sense. I thought you were a Gumroad user. Maybe Aurelius knows.
website kodj closed please other vedeo like website kodj
Thank you SO MUCH I needed this for my IG account link in bio. Question and sorry if it’s already ask, what’s the difference between stan and koji? Is it the monthly fee only?
Payhip is better. Koji upgrade the fees 5% to 8% or 15% :/
please show us the INCOME in Koji and kindly screen record your live withdrawal so we know if we can totally get our money in real time or if it will take days, how many days will your money go to your bank from Koji To PayPal To your Bank???
You can’t make any new koji accounts as of 2024
All of these services have terrible reviews and ratings. So many people say they're scams.
buy me a coffee as well -
