Introducing PengDrop: The Digital Store Builder That Keeps 100% of Your Revenue

After years of watching creators lose thousands to platform fees, we built something different. PengDrop is a digital store builder designed for one simple purpose: helping you keep more of what you earn.

The Problem with Platform Fees

If you're selling digital products on platforms like Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy, you're probably familiar with the sting of platform fees. Here's what most creators don't realize until it's too late:

The Real Cost of Platform Fees

  • Gumroad: 10% platform fee on every sale. If you make £2,000/month, you lose £200 monthly (£2,400/year)
  • Lemon Squeezy: 5-8% platform fees depending on your plan. Still hundreds or thousands lost annually
  • Other platforms: Hidden fees, transaction limits, and complex pricing structures that eat into your profits

For a creator making £5,000/month on Gumroad, that's £500 in platform fees every single month. That's £6,000 a year that could have gone back into your business, your savings, or your pocket.

Why We Built PengDrop Differently

PengDrop was founded by a digital creator who spent 5+ years building and selling products online. After losing thousands in fees, we asked a simple question: Why should platforms take a percentage of every sale when they're not doing anything per transaction?

The answer led us to create PengDrop with a fundamentally different pricing model:

0% Platform Fees. Forever.

Instead of taking a cut of every sale, we charge a simple, transparent subscription:

  • 14-day free trial with 0% platform fees to test everything
  • Then $20/month (still 0% fees forever)
  • Unlimited products, unlimited sales - no transaction limits or hidden costs

You only pay standard Stripe payment processing fees (~3%), which every platform charges. But the 5-10% platform fee? Gone. You keep 100% of what's yours.
