--- title: Sellfy vs HelpRange for Selling PDFs (2026): Plans, PDF Stamping, Using Both | HelpRange url: https://www.helprange.com/sellfy-vs-helprange --- Sellfy vs HelpRange # Sellfy vs HelpRange for selling PDFs – or both together Sellfy is an all-in-one storefront with a monthly plan and no transaction fee; buyers download your PDF with their e-mail stamped on each page. HelpRange delivers no file: each buyer reads a personal, watermarked copy in the browser, and you can take access back. [Start free trial](https://www.helprange.com/#signUpSection) [Live demo](https://www.helprange.com/demo) [See pricing](https://www.helprange.com/pricing) Your readers pay for the PDF, not for a file to forward. Protect and sell in one: every buyer reads a personal copy with their e-mail watermarked on each page and downloads blocked. Access ends after the days you set, when you revoke it, or on a refund or cancellation from Kajabi, Whop or Gumroad. From $39 a month per team. [How selling works](https://www.helprange.com/sell-pdf-documents-securely) ### No file to forward Buyers read in the protected viewer on phone, tablet or computer; download, print and copy are off, so there is no PDF to pass around. ### Watermark per buyer The buyer's e-mail – or your own buyer ID – on every page of the copy they read. Sellfy stamps the buyer's e-mail at the bottom of each page of the PDF they download. ### Access you can take back Revoke one buyer with a click, or let access end after a set number of days – also for buyers who already opened it. ### No sales cap HelpRange Pro is $39 a month per team whatever you sell. Sellfy plans cap yearly sales at $10,000, $50,000 or $200,000 and may charge 2% above the cap. ### A device limit per buyer Let each buyer read on, say, two devices – a laptop and a phone. A shared link stops working on the third device. ### See who reads it Page-by-page reading analytics per buyer, and an alert when one link is opened from many places. ## Which one fits you ### When HelpRange fits better - Your PDF is the product – a course workbook, report or e-book that loses value when it is shared - You want to take access back after a refund or chargeback - You want to see who reads which pages - You sell to teams or companies and want each reader named on every page ### When Sellfy is the better choice - You want one tool for the storefront, e-mail marketing and print-on-demand - Buyers must keep the file to read offline or on an e-reader - You sell videos, audio or other files that are not documents - You want a 14-day trial before you choose a plan ## Sellfy vs HelpRange for selling PDFs (read 14 November 2026) | Features | Sellfy | HelpRange | |---|---|---| | Price | Starter $29/month ($22 yearly), Business $79 ($59), Premium $159 ($119); 0% transaction fee; Stripe or PayPal fees | Pro $39 per team per month ($31 yearly), unlimited buyers; your own HelpRange Store adds a 2% fee on Pro and 0% on Max and Unlimited, plus Stripe’s fee | | Sales limits | $10,000, $50,000 or $200,000 a year; a 2% fee may apply above the cap | None | | What the buyer gets | A download of the file | A personal link to read in the protected viewer – no file | | Buyer watermark | PDF stamping: the buyer’s e-mail at the bottom of each page | Yes – the buyer's e-mail or your buyer ID on every page | | Limits | 5 download attempts per purchase link; you can restrict downloads per order | Downloads off; access for N days or until revoked; device limit per buyer | | After a refund | A file already downloaded stays with the buyer | Access ends with one click | | Offline reading | Yes – the buyer has the file | No – reading needs an internet connection | How it works **1. Add the product in HelpRange** Store → “Add product”: the e-book, workbook, report or course notes – a folder, one file or a new upload. **2. Connect your checkout** There is no ready-made Sellfy step: send each sale through Zapier, Make or a webhook with the buyer’s e-mail – or paste buyers’ e-mails under “Add buyers”. **3. Buyers read their own copy** Each buyer gets an e-mail with a personal link; their e-mail or ID is on every page. Buyer access is part of Pro ($39 per team per month, unlimited buyers), Max, Unlimited and the 3-day trial – no per-buyer or per-view fees. [Plans & pricing](https://www.helprange.com/pricing) FAQ ## Sellfy vs HelpRange – questions Is HelpRange cheaper than Sellfy? Sellfy Starter is $29 a month ($22 billed yearly) for up to $10,000 of sales a year, with 0% transaction fee (sellfy.com/pricing, 14 November 2026). HelpRange Pro is $39 a month per team ($31 yearly) with no sales cap; its own store adds 2% on Pro and 0% on Max, plus Stripe’s fee. Does HelpRange connect to Sellfy? There is no ready-made Sellfy connection. Any tool that can send the buyer’s e-mail to a web address – directly, through Zapier or through Make – can grant and revoke access, and you can always paste buyers’ e-mails under “Add buyers”. Does Sellfy protect PDFs? Sellfy stamps the buyer’s e-mail at the bottom of each page and allows 5 download attempts per purchase link. The buyer still gets the PDF file and can pass it on with the stamp. HelpRange never hands out the file. When is Sellfy the better choice? When you want a storefront with e-mail marketing and print-on-demand in one tool, when buyers must keep the file for offline reading, or when you sell videos, audio and other non-document files. Can buyers read on their phone? Yes – in the browser on any device, or in the HelpRange viewer app for iPhone, iPad and Android.
