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.
Rev
Rev transcribes audio and video files using either automated AI or human transcriptionists, returning time-stamped text files, captions, and subtitles. It serves podcasters, journalists, video producers, and educators who need accurate transcripts quickly. Human transcription is notably more accurate than AI for complex audio, but costs more per minute. A free trial lets you test the AI tier before committing.
