The self-hosted Sellfy alternative

Deliora: Self-hosted license-key delivery for people selling digital downloads: keys with per-domain activation limits, and download links that expire, served from files kept outside the web root. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Sellfy every month.

4 months of Sellfy costs what Deliora costs once.

Buy once

How we counted: The month-to-month Starter price; the plan is sized by yearly sales and charges 2% above its cap. Deliora has no cap and no overage.

How Sellfy pricing grows

Sellfy meters by YEARLY SALES: cross the plan cap and pay 2% overage or step up.

What Sellfy does that we don't

Sellfy is a hosted storefront with print-on-demand and subscriptions, and no platform fee inside a plan.

Who should stay with Sellfy

Stay with Sellfy if you want print-on-demand merch and a hosted storefront and your yearly sales fit a plan. Deliora is your own store on your own domain, for digital products, uncapped.

What Deliora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting Sellfy.

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Sellfy's cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Deliora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off Sellfy.

Where does the money actually flow?

Directly from your buyer to your Lemon Squeezy or Stripe account. Deliora never holds funds and never sees card numbers — it fulfills orders from the provider's webhook.

Are my product files safe?

Deliverables sit in a directory denied by the web server. The only path to them is a random token that expires, has a use cap, and is claimed with an atomic database update.

Will this run on shared hosting?

Yes. PHP 8.1+ with pdo and fileinfo, MySQL or SQLite, Apache mod_rewrite. The installer takes about two minutes.

Can my own apps verify licenses?

Yes — the license API's check and activate endpoints return validity, tier, and activations left. Activation is idempotent per domain, so reinstalling on the same site never burns a slot.
