Honest comparison · updated July 2026
The Sellfy alternative with no monthly fee
Sellfy is a polished store builder — with a subscription that starts around $29/month before your first sale. HushLink flips the model: free until you sell, because it skips the store entirely.
No subscription. No monthly fee. 10% only when you sell.
The short answer
As of July 2026, Sellfy has no free plan: subscriptions run from about $29/month to $159/month with 0% transaction fees, after a 14-day trial. That is $348+/year whether or not you sell. HushLink charges nothing monthly and takes 10% per sale — the break-even is roughly $290/month in sales. Below it, HushLink is cheaper; above it, Sellfy’s flat fee wins and buys you a full store with print-on-demand and email marketing. If you are starting out or sell irregularly, don’t pay rent on an empty store.
