Being fair
Where Gumroad still shines.
No platform is perfect for everyone. Here is what Gumroad does well.
Taxes handled for you
Gumroad is the merchant of record: it collects and remits sales tax worldwide. ScaleEdges collects EU VAT for you, but you file it.
Discover marketplace
Gumroad Discover can bring buyers who never heard of you, at a 30% fee. ScaleEdges has a marketplace too, at your normal fee.
F.A.Q.
Switching from Gumroad.
Can I move my Gumroad products and buyers to ScaleEdges?
Yes. Upload your Gumroad sales export in Sales → Import: ScaleEdges creates the products, adds your customers and gives every past buyer access to their purchases in their ScaleEdges library. Import your followers from Communication → Followers.
Is ScaleEdges cheaper than Gumroad?
Yes, from the first sale: 5% with no fixed fee, against 10% + $0.50 on Gumroad. Above €600 a month, the 0% option at €30/month widens the gap even more.
Is there a minimum payout?
No. Buyers pay into your own Stripe account and Stripe pays your bank on its usual schedule, with no minimum set by ScaleEdges. Gumroad waits until your balance reaches $100.
Does ScaleEdges handle taxes like Gumroad?
ScaleEdges calculates and collects EU VAT at the right rate for each buyer, applies B2B reverse charge and prepares your VAT report. Unlike Gumroad, you remain the seller and file the VAT yourself.
