Do zero-commission platforms really exist?

Yes. Crealo (Pro plan), Podia, Sellfy, and Thinkific charge 0% commission. You only pay a fixed monthly fee.

When is a zero-commission plan worth it?

When you sell more than $500/month. Above that volume, a fixed fee is more economical than paying 5-10% per sale.

Are there hidden costs?

Besides the monthly fee, there are always payment processor fees (Stripe: ~2.9% + $0.25). This isn't controlled by the platform.
