Which one is cheaper?: They both start at the same price — $29/mo. The difference is in what you get at each tier.
Can I use either one for free?: Payhip has a free plan. AfterShip doesn't — you'll need to pay from day one.
How do they charge?: Different approach here. Payhip uses flat-rate pricing, while AfterShip goes with usage-based. That changes the math depending on your team size and usage.
Which one is a better deal?: Depends on what you need. Payhip: Payhip is the scrappy, low-barrier alternative to Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy — easier to start for free, but the fee structure is nearly identical to Gumroad's model. They're fishing for solo creators and small digital product sellers who want zero upfront commitment and are comfortable doing the fee math themselves. AfterShip: AfterShip sits in the mid-market range for post-purchase tracking tools — not the cheapest (plenty of Shopify apps undercut them), but not enterprise-priced either. They're going after scaling DTC brands and mid-size retailers who've outgrown basic carrier emails but aren't ready to build custom tracking infrastructure.
