Best for webstores for game servers
Tebex runs webstores and payments for game servers, and handles sales tax as merchant of record. A 5% fee comes off every transaction on both plans, so the £12.49 Plus plan only adds a custom domain and store editing.
Who Tebex is for
- Fits if you run a game server and sell ranks or items
- Makes sense if you want someone else to handle sales tax
Who Tebex is not for
- Pricey if you pay for Plus, because the 5% fee still applies on top of £12.49
- Tight if you want a custom domain, the HTML and CSS editor or abandoned basket recovery, all of which need Plus
- Watch out: prices on the server page are in pounds, and the studio offering has no published prices
- Skip it if you want an app, as there are no desktop or phone apps listed
Why Tebex gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPlus is £12.49 a month, in the middle of the category, and the 5% fee is charged on top of it. Starter has no monthly fee.
- BFree plan and trialStarter has no monthly fee, unlimited packages and fraud and chargeback cover, for a flat 5% of every sale.
- BFeaturesWebstore and in-game store, headless API, merchant of record, sales tax, subscriptions and basket recovery. Basket recovery and the editor are Plus, but nothing in the listing is missing from the job.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is setting up the store and its packages, so it sits at C.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb plus an in-game store, with a headless API and six listed integrations. No desktop or phone apps.

Keep Tebex, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Tebex you would be making selling as the merchant of record, so sales tax and VAT are handled everywhere. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 35 of the 50 other tools for selling digital products we grade. It costs $200.82 a year.
What you could make
- Digital downloads: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Selling as the merchant of record, so sales tax and VAT are handled everywhere.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- It plugs into other products, PayPal, Discord and Steam among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Tebex’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
