Gumroad, Payhip, Lemon Squeezy and Ko-fi all quote clean-looking fees that behave completely differently at different prices and volumes — and only some of them deal with global VAT for you. Enter your numbers; we'll show the real monthly cost of each, auto-picking each platform's cheapest plan for your volume. Runs in your browser, no signup.
VAT handled = full merchant of record: the platform is legally the seller and handles global VAT/sales tax. UK/EU VAT = handles UK/EU digital VAT but not US sales tax. your problem = you're responsible for your own tax registrations. If you sell internationally, this column can matter more than the fee.
Estimates for information only — not financial, tax or accounting advice. Fees and surcharges change; verify against each platform's current pricing. Not affiliated with any platform listed; no affiliate links (any future affiliate relationship will be disclosed here).
