The self-hosted Payhip alternative
Deliora — A self-hosted digital product store, delivery, and license-key manager — a Gumroad alternative you own. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Payhip every month.
Stop renting Payhip
4 months of Payhip equals this one-time price.
Assumption: Payhip has a genuine free tier, paid for with 5% of every sale; the figure cited is the first paid tier, where the cut drops to 2%. Deliora takes no cut — you pay for the software once and your payment processor takes only its own fee.
How Payhip pricing grows with you
Payhip meters by a CUT OF EACH SALE (5%, then 2%) until you pay $99 a month to remove it.

Who should stay with Payhip
Stay with Payhip if you sell little and want a free hosted storefront that takes its cut per sale. Deliora is the store you own: one payment, no percentage, your domain. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Payhip
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Payhip's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Deliora vs Payhip comparison.
