The Gumroad alternative for Telegram creators

Gumroad works for Twitter. For Telegram, you need native checkout. Gategram lets your buyers purchase without ever leaving the chat.

Why Telegram creators switch from Gumroad

Gumroad sends buyers away from Telegram

You share a Gumroad link in your channel. Your buyer opens a browser, lands on a Gumroad page, creates an account, enters their card. Half of them bounce. The conversion killer isn't your product — it's the redirect.

Gumroad takes 10% + payment processing

Gumroad's fee is 10% of every sale, plus Stripe's ~2.9% + 30c. On a $10 product, you lose $1.30+. Gategram's 95/5 split means you keep significantly more, especially on smaller digital products.

Gumroad delivery is email-based

After purchase, Gumroad emails the content. Your buyer has to check their inbox, find the email, click the download link. With Gategram, the content is delivered as a Telegram message the instant payment clears.

Gumroad wasn't built for Telegram

Gumroad is a general-purpose storefront. It works fine for Twitter/X audiences. But for Telegram creators, it adds unnecessary friction. Gategram is built specifically for the Telegram ecosystem.
