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.
Restream
Restream sends a single live broadcast simultaneously to more than 30 platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Creators, businesses, and educators use it to maximize reach without running separate streams. The built-in chat aggregator pulls audience messages from all platforms into one view. The free tier caps you at two destinations with Restream branding on the stream.
