What If…? We’ve Got You Covered
What if I’m already using Draft2Digital?
That’s totally fine. You don’t have to switch everything. Just start with one book — it’s free to publish — and see how PublishDrive compares. No disruption, no commitment, no lock-in.
Do I have to pay upfront?
Nope. You can publish one ebook for free. If you want to expand, paid plans start at $13.99/month. Prefer a rev-share model? We offer that too for high-volume publishers — just ask.
What if I’m not tech-savvy?
We built PublishDrive to do the heavy lifting for you. From distribution, sales analytics, and book promotions to generating book metadata and covers, we're here to help — it’s all in one place, designed for non-technical users.
Is this only for big publishers?
Not at all. PublishDrive works whether you have 1 title or 1,000. Indie authors, boutique publishers, and enterprise teams all use our tools — and you only pay for what you need.
Will I lose access to stores like Amazon or Apple?
No. PublishDrive distributes to all major stores, including Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, and even Google Play, which D2D doesn’t support. You’ll expand your reach, not shrink it.
Do I still get paid by the stores?
Even better — you get paid by us, all in one place, no matter how many stores you distribute to. We consolidate sales reports and royalties so you don’t have to chase multiple payments.
Publish everywhere. Keep every penny
