Payhip vs SellApp

Payhip is an e-commerce platform for selling digital and physical products, courses, coaching, and memberships directly to customers. Its drag-and-drop website builder supports storefronts, landing pages, and custom CSS, while product delivery can use a download page and email links. Course tools include videos, quizzes, certificates, drip content, and progress tracking. Sellers can set one-time payments, subscriptions, payment plans, pay-what-you-want pricing, and membership free trials. The platform names several payment gateways and integrations, and provides webhooks and a public API for coupons and license keys. Payhip says it automatically calculates, collects, and remits VAT and sales tax in the USA, Canada, UK, and EU. Protection features include PDF stamping, download limits, expiring links, customer and regional blocking, and account two-factor authentication. All plans include unlimited products, customers, revenue, bandwidth, and storage. Free Forever costs nothing with a 5% transaction fee; Plus is $29 a month with a 2% fee; Pro is $99 a month with no transaction fee. Payhip was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.

SellApp is a web and API platform for selling digital products, including software, memberships, videos, templates, and paid community access. Its no-code store builder offers templates and premade sections, and AI assistance can help create and personalize a storefront. Sellers can accept PayPal, Stripe, Square, Paddle, Apple Pay, Google Pay, regional methods, and cryptocurrencies. Once a customer pays, the platform can deliver downloads, license keys, memberships, or community access automatically. Sellers can set recurring billing intervals and offer percentage or value discounts, pay-what-you-want prices, and bulk discounts. Community integrations can grant configurable roles after purchase and remove access after a dispute or lost subscription. Developer tools include an API, webhooks, scoped API key permissions, webhook secrets, and product-linked fulfillment hooks. The Standard plan is free, with fees calculated per sale and billed at the start of the following month; it includes unlimited products and resources and a custom domain. Advanced costs $199.99 a month and lists 0% platform fees. SellApp says payments go directly to the seller’s linked payment method and it does not hold funds or perform payouts.
