Nestuge vs Selar
Which is better for you?

Selar changed the game for monetizing digital products in Africa, but Nestuge has taken it to the next level.

Selling digital products globally can be challenging, especially when managing memberships and granting access to resources after purchase.

When choosing between Nestuge and Selar, it’s important to consider how each platform meets your needs.

Both platforms provide robust solutions for selling your ebooks, courses, and online classes to a worldwide audience, accepting transactions in both local and foriegn currencies. This global reach is essential for expanding your customer base and increasing sales.

Main differences

When it comes to pricing, Nestuge is more affordable than Selar. For just 9.9 USD per month, you can access all features, while Selar charges between 30 to 125 USD per month for full functionality.

In terms of Integrations and flexiblity, Nestuge truly stands out. It offers a broader range of integrations, including WhatsApp, Telegram, and Google Drive, allowing you to host your courses and classes outside of Nestuge while still taking advantage of its powerful sales tools and automations.

Another key advantage of Nestuge is its support for selling in bundles. This feature allows you to, for example, include an ebook with event tickets, offer multiple resources together for a membership community or let customers pick from a set of products for a fixed fee.
