The core difference

With Gumroad

Gumroad forces you to create a public product page, which is awkward and unprofessional for private B2B client deliveries.

With LinkVault

LinkVault fits perfectly into an agency workflow. Send a private, expiring, view-only link to a specific client.

When Gumroad is enough

  • You are selling a $10 ebook to thousands of followers
  • You want a public storefront and affiliate network
  • You don't need to show previews before payment

When LinkVault is better

  • Private 1-on-1 client deliveries
  • High-value invoices
  • When you need to show the work (view-only) to get the invoice paid

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Gumroad for client work?

You can, but it's not ideal. It requires setting up a public 'product' which feels unprofessional for a private $5,000 design invoice.

Why use LinkVault instead of Gumroad?

LinkVault lets you send a private, view-only preview that acts as the invoice. No storefronts, no product pages, just secure delivery.
