Comparison

Sellfy Alternative

Sellfy inverts the usual model: pay monthly, keep everything per sale. At real volume that wins outright. Below it, you're paying whether or not anything sold — which is the trade paytoview.nl takes the other side of.

When each one actually makes sense

Choose Sellfy if…

  • You sell consistently and the subscription is comfortably covered
  • You want print-on-demand or subscription products alongside downloads
  • A branded storefront on your own domain matters to you

Choose paytoview.nl if…

  • Your selling is irregular and a monthly bill in a quiet month stings
  • You're still finding out whether people will pay at all
  • You want iDEAL, watermarking and self-closing links
  • You'd rather pay only when money actually comes in

Frequently asked

Which is cheaper, Sellfy or paytoview.nl?

Entirely a question of volume. Sellfy's monthly fee with 0% per sale beats a percentage model once you're selling steadily; below that you're paying for months where nothing happened. paytoview.nl costs nothing until a sale completes, which suits irregular selling and anyone still testing demand.

Does Sellfy have revenue caps?

Its tiers are structured around annual revenue limits, so growing past a tier means moving up to the next one. Check Sellfy's current pricing page for the exact thresholds — they change.

Can I start on paytoview.nl and move later?

That's a sensible path. Prove the demand with no fixed cost, and once your monthly revenue makes a subscription obviously cheaper, move. Your files are yours and nothing locks you in.
