A template seller can sell a $27 pack, offer a $9 workbook before payment, and show a $17 tutorial just after. Otium delivers every file, lets customers join the email list, and takes 1% instead of Gumroad's 10%.
The honest take
Digital packs are the purest internet business: make once, sell forever.
A useful extra can make each sale worth more without changing the main product.
Otto suggests which extras belong with the pack. You decide whether to include them.
Otto suggests a price between $7 and $47, then suggests one or two useful extras based on the same research.
Files wait on a private page. Customers can return on a new device with a code sent by email.
Customers can choose to join when they pay, so you can tell them about the next pack.
The next pack uses the same customer list and shop. Blog posts and the social posts Otto drafts help more people find it.
$27 + $9 extra + $17 tutorial · 1% fee instead of Gumroad's 10%
Useful extras can make each sale worth more, customers can join your list when they pay, and Otium takes 1% of a sale instead of 10%. The part that grows with you is ten times smaller; the plan on top is flat. The full comparison is on /vs/gumroad.
