What they are

Gumroad

Gumroad is a storefront platform where creators sell digital goods like ebooks, courses, music, templates, and software directly to buyers. It handles payments, file delivery, and basic licensing with minimal setup. Indie creators and solopreneurs favor it for its low friction, though Gumroad takes a 10% $0.50 fee on every sale with 30% fee on discover marketplace sales, which adds up quickly at higher revenue volumes.

Publer

Publer is a social media scheduling tool that covers publishing, analytics, and AI-assisted caption writing across platforms including Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. It suits solo creators, agencies, and small teams who manage multiple accounts. The free plan is genuinely usable but limits the number of connected accounts, and the pricing climbs noticeably once you add team members or workspaces.
