What is Dropp?
Dropp is a platform that lets content creators sell directly to their audience through social media. The core idea: remove every friction point between the creator and the buyer.
In practice, you upload your content (videos, photos, PDFs, templates, packs), set your price, and get a payment link to share in your DMs, stories, or posts. The fan clicks, pays, and receives the content instantly — without ever leaving the social media ecosystem.
The pricing model
This is where Dropp stands out from every competitor:
- Zero creator commission. You keep 100% of your sale price. No percentage taken on your revenue.
- Zero monthly subscription. No plan to pay, no tier to choose. You sign up, you sell.
- Buyer-side service fee. Dropp charges a small fee to the buyer at checkout. This covers payment processing and platform costs.
For creators, the math is simple: $0/month, $0 per sale. Your margins are your margins.

Instant payment links
In under 2 minutes: upload your file, set a price, get a shareable link. The buyer clicks, pays, and receives the content automatically. No manual delivery needed.
Multi-format support
Videos, images, PDFs, ZIP archives, audio files — practically any digital format. You can also sell bundles combining multiple files.
Built-in CRM
Dropp tracks your buyers: who bought what, when, how much. This lets you target upsells and cross-sells to existing customers — the easiest revenue to capture.
Real-time analytics
Revenue, conversion rates, top products, traffic sources — all in a clean dashboard. No need for external analytics tools.
The AI assistant
Dropp integrates an AI assistant that handles common pre-sale questions automatically in your DMs. "What’s included?", "Is this for beginners?", "How does delivery work?" — the AI responds instantly, 24/7.
In our testing, this alone saved us 5+ hours per week in repetitive DM responses. The AI learns from your product descriptions and previous conversations to give accurate, on-brand answers.
Our field experience
We used Dropp as our primary sales tool for 6 months across multiple content types. Here’s what we found:
- Setup time: Under 5 minutes for the first product. Subsequent products take about 2 minutes each.
- Payment speed: Funds available within days, not weeks. Significantly faster than Patreon’s monthly cycles.
- Buyer experience: Clean, fast checkout. Multiple payment methods supported. No account creation required for buyers.
- Support: Responsive team, typically replies within 24 hours.

Who is Dropp for?
Best for
- Instagram, TikTok, Twitter creators selling via DMs
- Creators who want zero fees on their revenue
- Beginners who need a fast, simple setup
- Anyone selling digital content (guides, presets, templates, videos)
Less ideal for
- Physical product sellers (digital only)
- Creators who need a full website/storefront
- Large teams needing multi-user management
Limitations to know
No platform is perfect. Here’s where Dropp has room to grow:
- Digital only. No physical product support yet.

- Young platform. The company is growing fast but the feature set is still expanding compared to established players.

Is Dropp really free for creators?
Yes. Zero commission on sales, zero monthly subscription. Dropp monetizes through a small service fee charged to buyers at checkout.
How does Dropp compare to Gumroad?
The main difference is cost: Gumroad takes 10% of every sale. On $2,000/month in revenue, that’s $200 going to Gumroad. With Dropp, you keep it all. Dropp also adds DM-specific features and an AI assistant that Gumroad lacks.
Can I sell on Instagram with Dropp?
Absolutely. That’s what it’s designed for. Create a payment link, share it in DMs or your bio, and the buyer receives the content automatically after payment.
