Pros and Cons of Hyax

We created an ultra-lightweight, super fast and beautiful platform. But because we prioritize speed, there's not as much customization, although new templates are being created as we improve our app.

Hyax is also very much a set it and forget type of app, which means we handle updates, keeping your site online, and adding new features. If you just want to focus on creating content and marketing, Hyax is perfect for you.

Our app also starts at $249 / one-time, which is great for people just wanting to dip their toes into content monetization. As your needs increase, add-ons can increase your file space and features.

Prior to creating Hyax, we used Gumroad extensively, and our biggest complaint was that it lacked advanced features and we had to use multiple tools to manage our business.

Pros and Cons of Gumroad

Gumroad is a widely-used platform known for its simplicity and ease of use. It's known for being free to start, but with that comes transaction fees and limited features.

If you need a simple way to sell digital products, then Gumroad can be a good choice. But for more advanced features and better control over your business, you might find it lacking.

However, because it's a platform you have to manage yourself, it can cause a lot of issues if you don't know how to handle the technical aspects. All of this means your business might not scale as easily.
