Cons

The fee structure (10% on free, 0% on paid plan but $10/mo) makes unit economics tricky for low-margin or high-volume products+156
Checkout is hosted on Gumroad's domain which feels less professional than a custom checkout for SaaS products+134
Payout holds and account restrictions are reported frequently by creators and the appeal process is slow and opaque+119
No real subscription management features — upgrading plans or managing per-seat billing requires manual workarounds+98
