Big Cartel+ Completely free plan for up to 5 products — no transaction fees or commissions
+ Beautifully simple interface designed specifically for creatives and artists
- Very limited feature set — no abandoned cart recovery, subscriptions, or digital products
“Big Cartel is perfect for what I need — I sell handmade jewelry, have about 30 products, and the store just works. I'm not paying Etsy commissions or learning Shopify's complexity. It's exactly right-sized.”
+ Purpose-built for selling digital products — instant delivery, license keys, PDF stamping
+ Built-in print-on-demand for custom merch with zero upfront inventory
- Revenue caps on each plan ($10K on Starter, $50K on Business, $200K on Premium)
“I switched from Gumroad to Sellfy because I wanted my own storefront. I sell eBooks, templates, and merch — Sellfy handles all three from one dashboard with zero coding. The print-on-demand feature means I never hold inventory.”
