Notify Me vs Sellfy: pros and cons
Notify Me
Notify Me! turns sold-out pages into waitlists, pre-orders, and wishlists, then feeds demand signals into Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend, and PushOwl. Its 4.9/5 rating across 3,400-plus reviews shows real recovery power, but it's locked to Shopify and BigCommerce and SMS costs vary by country. Overall, it's a strong pick for stores losing sales to stockouts.
Pros
- Bundles four revenue-recovery tools — back-in-stock alerts, pre-orders, wishlists, and low-stock reminders — into one app, replacing what would otherwise require several single-purpose subscriptions
- Proven at scale — 35,000+ Shopify and BigCommerce stores, $502M+ in recovered merchant sales, and a 4.9/5 Shopify App Store rating across 3,400+ verified reviews with 97% five-star feedback
- Alerts sync natively into Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend, and PushOwl, and widgets work with page builders like PageFly, GemPages, and EComposer — no CSV exports or glue code required
Cons
- Built exclusively for Shopify and BigCommerce — merchants on WooCommerce, Magento, or custom platforms can't use it
- SMS and WhatsApp messages are billed separately at rates that vary by country, so total notification costs are hard to predict until you check the per-country rate tables
- Setup isn't fully self-serve — some reviewers needed support help integrating widgets with their themes or handling product variants
Sellfy
Sellfy offers flat monthly pricing with 0% platform transaction fees, 20GB file uploads, subscriptions, and built-in email plus affiliate marketing — no code needed. Plans run $22–$119 a month, but yearly sales caps and Business-tier gating on key growth tools are real limits. Overall, it's a solid pick for creators selling digital products without per-sale fees.
Pros
- Charges 0% transaction fees on all plans, so a $10 ebook sale keeps its full price minus only the standard PayPal/Stripe processing fee — the site contrasts this with Gumroad's 10% per-sale cut.
- Supports digital uploads up to 20GB per file on Premium (15GB on Business, 10GB on Starter), enough for full video courses, music packs, and design bundles without external file hosting.
- Bundles email marketing, affiliate programs, SEO, product upselling, and cart abandonment recovery into the dashboard, replacing separate subscriptions to tools like Kit ($0–$1000/mo) or Refersion ($99/mo).
Cons
- Plans are capped by annual sales volume ($10k Starter, $50k Business, $200k Premium); exceeding your cap without upgrading can trigger a 2% overage fee on the excess revenue.
- The 0% transaction fee claim excludes payment processing — PayPal or Stripe still takes roughly 2.9% + 30¢ per sale, and payouts depend on those gateways being available in your country.
- Cart abandonment, affiliate marketing, upselling, custom fields, and removing Sellfy branding are all gated behind the Business plan ($59/mo yearly) or higher, so the entry tier omits key growth tools.
