Payhip has a free plan that takes 5% of each sale, and its $29 and $99 plans take 2% and nothing. DPD charges a flat monthly price from $10 and never takes a cut.

Both Payhip and DPD send payments to your own PayPal or Stripe account, so the processor’s fees are the same on either. What’s left is the plan price and Payhip’s cut.

DPD’s $10 plan holds 20 products and 1GB of files. Bigger catalogs move up a plan (see pricing), but your sales never change the price.
Once you sell more than about $200 a month, yes. At that point Payhip’s free plan takes $10 a month in fees, the same as DPD’s $10 plan, and DPD’s price stays flat as your sales grow.
Yes, the same as with Payhip. Your processor charges its usual rate, and DPD adds nothing per sale.
No. With DPD, payments go to your own processor account and you’re the seller, so taxes are yours to file. If you’d like that done for you, Payhip does it.
