Use when

You are selling digital products and want zero fixed cost while you validate demand.

Skip when

PayPal and Stripe payouts are not workable in your country.

Free plan takes a percentage of each sale rather than a monthly subscription, so it costs nothing until you sell - the right shape when you are testing whether a product sells at all. Handles EU VAT automatically, which matters if you have European buyers. Payouts run through PayPal or Stripe, so confirm those are available to you before building on it.
