LemonSqueezy didnt exist when Gumroad changed the pricing. Lemon has some hidden fees on top of the 5% but they are a lot cheaper. Stripe checkout is not Merchant of Record so completely different product.

The company that was (still is) eating Gumroad is Paddle that have true 5% + 50¢ pricing.

Gumroad, Lemon, Paddle all do digital files fulfilment. Paddle wont give you website just pay links / overlay. I guess thats main reason why some people choose Gumroad/Lemon over Paddle.

LemonSqueezy was founded in 2020. Gumroad changed their pricing to a flat 10% on January 31, 2023, as stated in the article.

Yes, Paddle is also a competitor but my main point was that many people on social media thought Gumroad was too expensive yet it turns out no sellers in the real world actually cared. The benefits of Gumroad (apparently to them) outweigh the extra 5% they pay.
