What it costs

Take a store with 30 products, under 2GB of files, and $15,000 in sales a year.

  • SendOwl: the $39 Launch plan stops at $10,000 a year, so this store needs Grow at $87 a month.
  • DPD: 35 products and 2GB fit the $16 plan, at $16 a month whatever the store sells.

Both of them leave the payment processor’s fee to you, so that part’s the same either way.

When SendOwl is the better choice

  • You have thousands of small products. Every SendOwl plan has unlimited products, and DPD’s largest plan holds 3,500.
  • You also sell courses or take pre-orders, which SendOwl lists as features.

When DPD is the better choice

  • Your catalog is small or medium. DPD’s plans start at $10 a month, and your price doesn’t go up when you sell more.
  • You sell big files like video or audio. DPD doesn’t charge for bandwidth, however many times your files are downloaded.
  • You run more than one store. DPD lets you run several stores from one account.
