What Easy Digital Downloads is
Easy Digital Downloads is a self-hosted platform for selling digital products through a single sales channel. The maker, Easy Digital Downloads, was founded in 2012. Listed capabilities include digital product sales, abandoned cart recovery, and an app marketplace. The service uses a freemium model: Lite provides core features and is available on WordPress.org, while paid plans start at $199 a year. Personal costs $199 a year for one site with unlimited products. Extended costs $399 a year for one site with unlimited products. Professional costs $599 a year for two sites with unlimited products. All Access costs $999 a year for three sites with unlimited products. Transaction fees vary.
