Shutting Down the Free Tier, Starting a Limited Lifetime Deal, and Gumroad Alternatives' Fees

You Can't Start Selling for Free on Marketsy Anymore

But if you’ve already started selling for free, you’re good to go 😊

Yes, we’ve decided to shut down the free tier. It was an insightful business experiment that taught us a lot. For example, we learned that people need a simple tool to sell their products, AI is a great support for content creation, and many are ready to launch a store without a custom domain name.

However, to continue supporting the platform, adding new features, and marketing to attract new customers, we need to rely on subscription income as our sole source of revenue. Every subscriber makes an invaluable impact on our product, helping to make it better for everyone.

This isn’t the only pricing update. We’ve revised it once more to keep the entry threshold as low as possible. Starting now, we offer a 7-day free trial, followed by 3 months of discounted subscription at $1/month, after which you will be charged the full price.

Thank you for understanding 🙏🏾

Partnered Limited Lifetime Deal

Alongside the updated pricing, this week we've launched a partnered deal with Lifetimo. It’s a unique lifetime offer exclusively for Lifetimo users. However, we want you to know that you can take advantage of it as well. If you prefer not to pay monthly, we’ve created the following lifetime tiers:

• $199 for 1 store and 300 AI coins

• $499 for 3 stores and 1,500 AI coins

• $999 for 10 stores and 10,000 AI coins

All tiers include premium features and additional admin seats.

Does it sound compelling? Then hurry, as this deal is available for the next 15 days only and won’t return after that.

Analyzed Fees of All the Gumroad Alternatives

Marketsy.ai co-founder, Igor Boky (https://x.com/botanMan/), continues to analyze Gumroad and its alternatives. This week, one of his insights was the complexity of the fees that different platforms charge for usage. While it might seem like you’re saving on monthly fees, you could end up paying significantly more in the long run.

You can find an approximate amount of money you would pay to other platforms based on your income below.

We also have a fee calculator that helps you make a better decision on the platform for selling your products based on real numbers. Here it is.
