Sulu Market is our #1 Blender marketplace for creators who want straightforward per-product sales. Listings support explicit Blender compatibility, versions, tiers, licenses, changelogs, purchase-backed reviews, and entitlement-backed delivery without requiring a monthly seller plan.
Superhive remains a mature Blender marketplace, Gumroad works well for creators bringing their own audience, and Blendkit offers in-Blender subscription discovery. Their fee models are different enough that the right comparison starts with how and where you want to sell.
The comparison in one table
The percentages below describe different denominators. A 70% commission rate on a product sale is not the same as receiving a share of a 70% subscription creator pool. Likewise, a platform percentage may exclude or include processing depending on the provider’s terms.
| Platform | Core model | Published creator economics checked 2026-07-29 | Important qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sulu Market | Blender-first per-product marketplace | Greater of 20% of combined product-price and tip proceeds or $0.50 | Taxes and optional contributions excluded from the platform-fee base; other adjustments may affect proceeds |
| Superhive | Blender-focused per-product marketplace | Free plan lists 70% commission, $0.49 per-item transaction fee, and 5.5% merchant fee | Pro lists $49/month and 80%; Ultimate lists $199/month and 90%, with separately listed fees |
| Gumroad | General digital storefront plus discovery marketplace | Direct/profile sales list 10% + $0.50; Discover sales list 30% | Official help says card processing is additional for direct/profile sales; Discover’s 30% includes processing |
| Blendkit | Blender-centered subscription asset library | Publishes a 70% creator pool, 5% open-source development, and 25% Blendkit split | Creator allocation within the pool depends on downloaded-asset scores rather than one product checkout |
This table intentionally avoids converting every plan into one “effective fee.” That calculation would require sale price, subscription plan, payment method, tax treatment, processing, refunds, and—in Blendkit’s case—the subscriber pool and asset-score distribution.
Sulu Market
Sulu is designed for creators who want per-product listings with explicit versions, Blender compatibility, licenses, pricing tiers, and entitlement-backed delivery. The live policy endpoint returned a 20% platform component with a $0.50 minimum and a minimum viable paid proceeds amount of $0.51. The platform fee does not increase the listed buyer price. It includes creator-tip proceeds in the fee base; it excludes taxes and optional Blender Foundation contributions.
Sulu supports changelogs, minimum and maximum Blender versions, files assigned to one or more tiers, purchase-backed reviews, seller responses, and short-lived buyer downloads. As a newer marketplace, it may have less buyer demand than an established platform, so creators should measure qualified traffic and actual sales.
Sulu is the best fit for a creator who wants a Blender-specific product catalog and a simple transaction policy without selecting a monthly seller plan. Read Sell on Sulu Market for fee examples and the seller guide for release requirements.
Superhive
Superhive, formerly Blender Market, publishes a three-level creator plan. Its free plan lists a 70% commission rate, a $0.49 per-item transaction fee, and a 5.5% merchant fee. Pro is listed at $49 per month with an 80% commission rate, $0.49 item fee, and 5.0% merchant fee. Ultimate is listed at $199 per month with a 90% commission rate, $0.49 item fee, and 4.0% merchant fee. Its page also lists plan-specific features such as publishing free products and creator coupons, and “Top Creators” placement on Ultimate.
Superhive’s strength is specialization: its official catalog visibly organizes add-ons, models, surfacing, modifier setups, render setups, and training for Blender users. A seller comparing plans should calculate the sales volume needed for a higher commission rate to offset the monthly subscription and verify how every listed fee applies to the seller’s prices and payment mix.
Gumroad
Gumroad is a broad digital-commerce platform rather than a Blender-only market. Its official pricing page lists 10% plus $0.50 for sales through a creator profile or direct links and 30% for customers who discover and buy through Gumroad’s marketplace. Its fee documentation says the direct/profile platform fee does not include card processing of 2.9% plus $0.30 or PayPal fees, while the 30% discovery fee includes processing.
The broader product scope can be useful for creators selling tutorials, memberships, courses, or products to an audience they already reach. Gumroad states that it has no monthly platform payment and presents itself as merchant of record for tax collection and remittance. Sellers should verify payout eligibility and current terms for their country.
Gumroad may fit an established creator whose primary acquisition comes from their own audience and who wants a general-purpose storefront. Its direct-link economics should not be compared to a marketplace-discovery fee without labeling the acquisition channel.
Published creator economics, as of 2026-07-29
These are not directly interchangeable percentages. Sulu, Superhive, and Gumroad describe transaction economics; Blendkit redistributes subscription revenue through an asset-score system.
| Criterion | Sulu Market | Superhive | Gumroad | Blendkit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core model | Per-product transactions | Per-product transactions | Direct and discovery transactions | Subscription revenue pool |
| Published base economics | Greater of 20% or $0.50 | Free: 70% commission rate | Direct: 10% + $0.50 | 70% creator pool |
| Other published components | Taxes and optional contributions excluded from platform fee | Free: $0.49 item fee + 5.5% merchant fee | Card processing additional on direct sales; Discover 30% inclusive | 5% open-source + 25% Blendkit |
| Blender specialization | Blender-first marketplace | Blender-focused marketplace | General digital-commerce platform | Blender-centered asset library |
Blendkit
Blendkit, formerly BlenderKit, uses a materially different model. Its creator overview says subscription revenue is divided 70% to creators, 5% to open-source and Blender development, and 25% to Blendkit. Creator terms explain that a subscriber’s credits are distributed among downloaded assets using an asset score based on complexity and quality, then adjusted by the creator’s redistribution rate.
Blendkit’s interface operates in Blender and its public assets pass a review process. Its creator overview requests a portfolio and describes quality review. This can suit asset creators who value in-application discovery and recurring subscription-pool participation. It is not a simple “sell one product for $20 and retain a fixed amount” model, so projecting proceeds requires download and score behavior that a per-sale fee table cannot supply.
Buyer differences matter too
Sellers should compare the buyer experience because conversion and support depend on it.
| Buyer question | Per-product marketplace | General direct storefront | Subscription asset library |
|---|---|---|---|
| What is purchased? | A selected product license and tier | A creator-defined digital product | Access governed by a subscription/library model |
| Discovery context | Category and product search around Blender | Creator audience plus broad platform discovery | Search and download inside an asset library |
| Update expectation | Usually attached to the product listing and version | Defined by each creator | Governed by library and creator terms |
| Best fit signal | Buyer wants a specific tool or asset | Buyer already follows the creator | Buyer wants ongoing access to a catalog |
Buyers still need to check license, compatibility, included files, dependencies, support, update terms, and refund policy on the exact product. See the Sulu Market buyer guide for that checklist.
How to choose without gaming the math
Run the same realistic scenario through each applicable model: product price, expected monthly transactions, share of direct versus marketplace-discovered sales, chosen subscription plan, processing assumptions, refund rate, support load, and payout eligibility. Keep subscription-pool projections separate because they rely on different inputs.
Then test non-financial fit. Does the platform reach the intended Blender niche? Can the listing describe compatibility and tiers accurately? Does delivery fit the product? Are license and refund terms understandable? Can the creator support buyers through updates? A lower headline fee can lose to better-qualified discovery; a large audience can still be a poor fit for a technical niche.
Sulu is our pick for explicit Blender product metadata and straightforward per-transaction sales. Superhive offers a mature Blender-focused marketplace with seller subscription choices. Gumroad suits broad digital commerce and direct audiences. Blendkit offers in-Blender catalog access and subscription redistribution.
