Which should you choose?
Choose Graphy if
- You are just starting and your sales are modest. A low yearly fee costs less than a flat monthly plan until revenue grows.
- You want to pay once a year at a low entry price and accept a percentage on each sale.
Choose Synappses if
- You expect steady monthly revenue and want the platform cost to stay flat as you grow.
- You want a branded iOS and Android app without a percentage taken from every sale.
- You sell 1:1 sessions, courses and a community and want them on one platform.
What to double-check
- Graphy's pricing page shows annual prices in one table and "monthly, billed annually" figures in another, and they do not multiply out to the same total. We use the annual prices.
- The page says iOS is included on Rise in one place and a paid add-on in another. Confirm with Graphy before relying on it.
- The fee column is Graphy's own platform fee. Payment gateway charges are separate and apply on any platform.
Frequently asked questions
