Compared by structure
How each tool is built, what Brillay does instead, and what that changes for you.
| Tool | What it is built around | What Brillay does instead, and what it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Fiverr / VGen | Ranked gig marketplaces: buyers browse the platform's grid, the platform decides where you appear, and its cut comes out of every order. | Commissions on your own page at your own price: the brief is collected at checkout, the work is paid for before you start, and the audience is the one you already have. |
| PayPal invoicing | An invoice sent after the agreement and paid from a personal payment profile, separately from wherever the request was made. | Followers pay upfront as guests when they send the brief, so the request arrives already paid for and your details stay with Stripe rather than with the buyer. |
| Etsy | A product marketplace with listing fees and a crowded search, built for repeatable items rather than one-off custom work. | One custom order at a time, on your own page, with the scope and the delivery window written down and no listing to renew. |
| Linktree / Beacons / Stan Store | Storefronts for digital products made in advance, where every buyer receives the identical file. Nothing sells until you have built something. | Nothing built in advance and nothing identical: each order is custom work for the follower who asked, with their brief attached. |
| Patreon | A membership: a monthly tier that owes monthly output, whether or not anyone wanted something specific this month. | One defined piece of work, one price, one delivery — no membership to run, and it sits beside the Patreon you already have. |
| Ko-fi | A tip page with commissions alongside: the request arrives as a message rather than as a priced order. | The price, the scope and the delivery time are published before anyone orders, so scope creep has somewhere to stop. |
| Calendly / Zoom | Live calls for work that does not need a meeting: an hour booked to review something you could review alone. | You deliver the finished review, audit or asset on your own time, with no call and no scheduling. |
