Selling digital products still starts with the same question it always has: how much of each sale should the platform cost you? Sellfy has answered that question one way since 2011 — no per-order commission, but a monthly subscription that starts at $22 and climbs past $150. Whether that trade makes sense depends on what you sell, how much you sell, and which features you actually get at each tier.
This is a straight comparison of Sellfy's 2026 pricing — plans, sales caps, and the costs that only appear in the fine print — against an alternative built around a free-forever plan and 0% platform commission. No hype either way; just the numbers, so you can decide which math favors you.
Sellfy sells three plans, billed monthly or yearly (yearly billing saves 25%). Every plan includes unlimited products and 0% transaction fees:
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly (per month) | Yearly sales cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29 | $22 | $10,000 |
| Business | $79 | $59 | $50,000 |
| Premium | $159 | $119 | $200,000 |
Current figures from the official Sellfy pricing page. Payment processing through PayPal or Stripe (typically 2.9% + 30¢) applies on top of every plan.
Sellfy offers a 14-day free trial and nothing beyond it. On day 15, the cheapest way to keep selling is $22 a month on the yearly Starter plan — $264 for your first year, before a single processing fee.
Compare that with starting at $0 and staying there until your revenue justifies an upgrade. A free-forever plan with a modest product limit is not a trial with a countdown; it is a store you can grow into — which matters most when you are still testing your first product.
Each Sellfy plan caps yearly sales: $10,000 on Starter, $50,000 on Business, $200,000 on Premium. Cross the line and Sellfy expects an upgrade — and if the account has not upgraded, it may charge a 2% overage fee on revenue above the limit.
Caps themselves are normal; every subscription platform draws them somewhere. The difference is what happens at the boundary. Vexaris sets revenue limits per billing period ($100, $1,000, and $5,000 before unlimited) and warns you in the panel to upgrade before sales are affected — with no overage percentage attached.
Sellfy's entry plan covers the basics: store editor, themes, custom domain, coupons, reviews, and email marketing. But several growth features only unlock higher up:
None of this is unreasonable on its own. It only matters when you total it up: a growing store that wants its own branding plus abandoned-cart recovery starts at $59 a month. On Vexaris, coupons, support tickets, themes, and a custom domain are standard on paid plans from $6.99 a month.
Here is the limitation that affects international sellers most: Sellfy collects payments through Stripe and PayPal — only those two. Processing fees apply on top of the subscription, and if neither gateway supports receiving payments in your country, Sellfy can only be used to offer free products.
For sellers in countries where both gateways work, this is a non-issue. For everyone else, it can be the entire decision. A store with a dozen or more payment integrations — cards, local wallets, bank transfer, crypto, and merchant-of-record options — keeps selling where a two-gateway store goes dark. That breadth is one of the clearest practical differences between Sellfy and Vexaris, which integrates Shopier, PayTR, iyzico, Stripe, PayPal, BitPay, Cryptomus, PayWant, Whop, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, and DodoPayments.
Vexaris is a digital-commerce platform for sellers who want their own storefront without a per-order cut. Its plans:
| Plan | Monthly Price | Product Limit | Revenue Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 7 products | $100 |
| Starter | $6.99 | 35 products | $1,000 |
| Professional | $14.99 | 75 products | $5,000 |
| Enterprise | $39.99 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Prices and limits may change. Check the current details on the Vexaris pricing page.
Every plan runs on 0% platform sales commission: the subscription is the whole platform cost, with payment providers billing their own processing separately. Revenue limits apply per billing period, and the panel warns you before they ever touch your sales.
| Feature | Sellfy | Vexaris |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | $22/mo yearly, after a 14-day trial | Free forever; paid plans from $6.99 |
| Platform commission | 0% | 0% |
| Payment gateways | Stripe + PayPal only | 12+ options |
| Sales limits | $10k/$50k/$200k per year, plus 2% overage | $100/$1k/$5k per billing period, then unlimited |
| Products | Unlimited on all plans | 7 / 35 / 75 / Unlimited |
| Physical, merch & subscriptions | Yes | Digital products only |
| Own branding | From $59/mo plans | Custom domain from $6.99/mo |
| Upsells, cart recovery, affiliates | From $59/mo plans | Coupons built in; marketing via modules |
| Email marketing | Built in, monthly credits | Templates plus your own SMTP |
| License keys & code pools | Standard delivery | Per-order signed keys, bulk pools |
| Money-back | 30-day guarantee | Cancel anytime; pro-rata on yearly plans |
| Support depth | Email; priority on Premium | Ticket system, roles, team seats |
A comparison that only points one way is not an honest one. If you sell physical products, merch, or print-on-demand — or subscriptions are core to your business — Sellfy covers product types Vexaris deliberately does not. Unlimited products on every plan, built-in email marketing, and a 30-day money-back guarantee make it a safe, established pick, and a track record going back to 2011 counts for something.
Sellfy is a fair deal for a specific seller: enough volume to absorb $22–$159 a month, both Stripe and PayPal available in their country, and possibly a catalog that includes physical goods. Outside that profile — testing a first product, selling where gateway choice is thin, or simply unwilling to pay a subscription before revenue exists — the math points elsewhere.
If that sounds like you, the free plan is the cheapest experiment in e-commerce: open a store, list a product, and upgrade only when your sales say so. Details at vexaris.net/pricing.
