PengDrop vs EasyTools

With PengDrop's Annual plan at $89/year (0% fees) vs EasyTools' paid plan at $348/year + 1% commission, you save significantly at every revenue level. At $5k/month in sales, you save $859/year (91%). At $20k/month, you save $2,659/year (97%). The higher your revenue, the more you save with PengDrop's flat annual fee.

Currently, PengDrop uses standard checkout flows. EasyTools' one-click checkout and access to the Easy Network (500k+ customers) is a unique advantage for maximizing conversion rates. However, PengDrop's significantly lower costs ($89/year vs $348/year + 1% commission) mean you keep more money from each sale even with standard checkout conversion rates.

Not currently. PengDrop focuses on one-time digital product sales like ebooks, templates, courses, and downloads. If you need recurring subscriptions, memberships, or payment plans, EasyTools is the better choice. However, for one-time purchases, PengDrop offers much better value and profit margins.

Both platforms integrate with Stripe and offer tax handling capabilities. EasyTools emphasizes their automated tax handling across multiple countries as a key feature. PengDrop also supports tax collection via Stripe Tax. The main difference is that EasyTools is not a merchant of record (similar to PengDrop), so you only pay taxes where needed rather than all available taxes.

This is where PengDrop excels. PengDrop provides beautiful, fully-customizable storefronts where you can showcase your brand, products, and build a complete digital product shop. EasyTools focuses more on checkout optimization and doesn't offer custom storefronts - it's primarily a checkout and payment tool. If branding and customer experience matter to you, PengDrop is the better choice.

Both platforms are beginner-friendly with no-code setups. EasyTools boasts 1-hour setup times and very quick onboarding. PengDrop is also easy to set up with a simple interface. For absolute beginners, both free plans let you test without risk. Choose PengDrop if you want a complete storefront, or EasyTools if one-click checkout optimization is your priority.

Yes, since both platforms use Stripe for payments and neither is a merchant of record, migration is straightforward. You'll need to re-upload your digital products and recreate your product listings in PengDrop. Customer data can be exported and imported into your email marketing platform. The significant annual savings ($379-$2,659/year) make the one-time migration effort worthwhile for most creators.

It depends on your priorities. EasyTools' 1% commission ($348/year + 1% of sales) buys you access to the Easy Network, one-click checkout with reported 47% conversion rates, and comprehensive automation. However, at any significant revenue level, PengDrop's $89/year flat fee with 0% commission is much more cost-effective. Calculate your expected revenue: if you're making more than $5k/month, PengDrop saves you $800-2,600+ per year.
