A more friendly price structure and an end to the Pro tier is definitely sure as there is now Cheaper Pricing for Creators on Gumroad. Today’s (August 30, 2021) news on The Verge says that Gumroad is announcing a new pricing structure today that streamlines the fees and features of its platform. This is to make it easier for creators to get started selling products or memberships online.
Gumroad is known as one of the early “help people sell things online” businesses. This change is a sort of reset for the company as the space grows even more crowded. Take note that the first major change is an end to Gumroad’s free and paid Pro tiers. Before now, they have locked features like using a custom domain name or offering HD video streams behind a ten dollar-per-month subscription.
This however did cause some confusion from users just starting out. According to them, it did not make sense to commit to paying upfront. Currently, everyone receives the same features without having to pay extra or worry about overcommitting.
