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.
