5 tools that solve a similar problem. Compare what each costs and what it covers.
Self-publish to Kindle and keep 70 percent
Amazon KDP costs nothing and keeps 70 percent of each sale on Kindle alone, the better math for one book that might sell twenty copies rather than a subscription sized for a back catalogue.
One upload, every ebook store
PublishDrive's own advice is that one book selling around twenty copies should use Draft2Digital instead, which takes a cut per sale rather than billing a subscription.
Ebook distribution that states its cut up front
StreetLib states its percentage cut up front rather than charging a flat subscription, the opposite trade from PublishDrive's no-cut-but-capped-by-title-count model.
Print a book into the retail supply chain
IngramSpark places a printed book into the retail supply chain bookstores order from, a different distribution problem than the ebook retailers PublishDrive reaches.
Publish to Kobo and keep your rights
Kobo Writing Life publishes directly to one retailer for free, rather than PublishDrive's fifty-plus retailers under a subscription, a fit for someone not ready to pay for that reach yet.
