# Creator commerce platform dataset — methodology

Reviewed: 2026-09-14

This dataset compares 13 platforms that independent creators can use to sell digital products. It is maintained by Sell Bio and supports the article [13 Best Platforms to Sell Digital Products in 2026](https://www.sellb.io/blog/best-platforms-to-sell-digital-products).

## Method

We reviewed official vendor sources for published subscription prices, platform fees, tax or seller role, delivery model and stated product scope. Each CSV row links directly to the official first-party source used for that platform. We preserve the vendor's published currency and distinguish subscription fees from platform fees and payment-processing charges.

The best-fit field is an editorial interpretation of the documented operating model. It is not a paid placement, customer rating or universal recommendation. Sell Bio appears in the surrounding article only where its own role in the stack is relevant; it is not included as one of the 13 independently compared providers.

## Limitations

- Prices and terms can vary by country, currency, billing interval, payment method and optional feature.
- Processor, currency-conversion, dispute, refund and international-card charges may apply separately.
- Tax treatment depends on the contract, seller location, buyer location and product type. This dataset is not tax or legal advice.
- A vendor page can change after the review date. Follow the linked source before making a purchase decision.
- No platform fee does not mean that payment processing is free.
