The Best itch.io Alternative
for Creators
itch.io is great for game discovery, but its pay-what-you-want model and platform cut work against creators who want predictable, direct sales of game assets, mods, and 3D packs. PayRequest gives you a payment link with a fixed 2% fee capped at €25 and automatic file delivery — no storefront required.
