Gumroad sells the file. Tapmy sells the rest of what you do.
Gumroad is a quick way to sell a file and let someone else handle tax. Tapmy is the better pick once you want calls, Courses and a Community next to the file, in a creator store you own.
Tapmy starts free, and Pro is $29/month. Its fee is 0% on Free, 3% on Pro and 1% on Max, with Stripe processing separate. Gumroad takes 10% + $0.50 of every direct sale and 30% of sales through its Discover marketplace. Tapmy also sells paid calls and a Community in the same store, which Gumroad does not.
Calls booked and paid in the store
Gumroad's features page lists no calendar booking. Tapmy's Schedule Link sells paid calls and Services beside your files.
A Community, not a recurring product
On Tapmy a paid Community is a native offer. On Gumroad you get recurring products.
Your store, your buyers
Buyers check out in a branded store behind your link in bio, and your customer list keeps the relationship for the next offer.
What you gain once a download is not your whole catalog.
Gumroad is a fast way to put a file on sale, and it handles sales tax for you. What it does not do is book a call or run a Community, so most creators end up with a second tool for each. Tapmy sells the file, the call and the membership from one store and one checkout, and the buyer stays on your page.

Beyond the product page.
More than one kind of offer
Gumroad packages a product well. Tapmy covers the whole ladder: free downloads, paid files, Services, Courses, Webinars and a paid Community.
Bookings in the same store
A buyer who wants to talk first can book and pay for a call without leaving your page.
One customer record
Buyers of files, calls and memberships land in one list, so you see who is ready for the next offer.
A store behind your bio link
Your link opens a branded store with One-Step Checkout, not a profile that mostly lists products.
