Why Founders Are Exploring Origin Round Over Traditional Marketplaces

Traditional marketplaces like AppSumo typically take between 30% and 70% of your revenue depending on your campaign tier.* Origin Round takes a different approach: we provide enterprise-grade billing infrastructure, a built-in Discovery Feed, and a Launchpad—but you sell directly via Stripe. Keep more of your money, own your customers, and get discovered without the percentage-based revenue share.

The Discovery + Infra Model

You shouldn't have to choose between getting discovered and retaining your revenue. With Origin Round's Zero-Cut Launchpad, a $100 sale means you pay 0% in revenue share. You only consume 1 Inventory Quota (costing between $2.50 and $3.50), while gaining exposure on our Discovery Feed.

The MRR Advantage: Keep 100% of your Recurring Revenue

When you sell a recurring subscription, you only consume 1 Inventory Quota for the initial checkout. Every recurring month after that costs you absolutely nothing. We don't touch your MRR.
